Episode five kicks off with a fun dance party, but things turn seriously pretty quickly with a pregnancy scare! 

 

Courtney, Daphne, and Laura are back with the first episode dealing with a serious topic! Jane finds out she is pregnant but decides to keep the news from Michael when he reveals he is not ready to be a Dad . . . and then she decides not to keep the baby without telling him either! The ladies break down the drama, which they feel is a turning point for the show, their thoughts on the storyline, how it's still relevant today, questions Darren Star needs to answer, the scene they found hilarious (they get the giggles), and why Courtney feels this is the episode where the cast really starts to gel! 

 

 

The trio also talks about the behind-the-scenes hilarity of shooting bar and club scenes, a surprise call with Doug Savant to answer some pressing questions, and why he has major beef with the ladies!

They also discuss how shooting on location was a different experience in the first season versus once the show became popular, the kissing rule on set, Courtney's initiative to make a comprehensive makeout master list or canoodling catalog, and the full display of 90s fashions, from Alison's first time wearing a vest to the chokers and bodysuits!
