"Second Chance Summer" is a limited seasonal series where Heather and Laura are revisiting the most popular past Thirsty episodes with the benefit of hindsight. Each episode includes a fresh intro and a new conversation at the end, where they look back, uncover new lessons, and laugh at themselves (a lot).

Today, they're looking back at "Self-absorbed Sam", which originally aired February 12, 2022. Sam was a relationship that Laura probably should have never agreed to in the first place, but Dark Days dating knows no standards. In this trip down memory lane, Laura reflects on home improvement, warm hugs, and asking for what you deserve.
