Eliza and Olive recap and review the third episode of season three; Asian F! Mike finally gets his first measly bit of plot and solo time, which we are forever grateful for. On the other hand, this proves to be an episode filled with frustration as Mercedes, Mike, and Emma deal with straight-up aggression from their friends and family. Don't worry, Rachel also gets plenty of aggression from us, the hosts.

Episode contains heavy discussion of racism, microaggressions, and stereotypes of people of color throughout.

16:18 - mentions of relationships between adult and a minor
