Episode #18: “Second Date”

Narrator: Mark

Against all odds (and the pancake incident), Mark secures a second date. He’s not sure why she said yes—pity? momentum? the syrup selection?—but he’s not asking questions. Instead, he’s doing his best to act normal, which naturally results in a series of very not-normal moments.

This episode features:

  • A second date no one was quite ready for
  • The quiet return of The Couch™
  • And the haunting realization that some breakfast foods hold emotional weight

They’re not calling it a relationship.
But the couch is starting to pick sides.
