Laura and Carmen are back and absolutely flying, fuelled by cold weather holidays, points chaos and the kind of tech anxiety that makes your palms sweat before you have even opened the laptop.
There is festive drama too, as matching Christmas pyjamas spiral out of hand, and the girls debate whether parenting twenty somethings is basically inviting them to things they have no intention of turning up to.
Carmen unveils a brand new reason to visit Amsterdam which sends them into a full meltdown about bikes, brain freeze and imaginary medicated ice cream. Naturally.
Plus, the buttheads deliver a belter consisting of a toddler, two separate trips to A and E and one very determined piece of fuzzy felt. Parenting at its finest.
The girls also dive into the wild world of live streamed births, discuss what should probably remain private and accidentally create a new moral category: Should not do.
It is unhinged, warm and absolutely ridiculous. Exactly what you are here for.
