Bad Art Friend

Rehash
About this episode

Hannah and Maia try to make sense of the Rorschach test that is "Who is the Bad Art Friend?". Is the literary beef between Dawn and Sonya actually as juicy and layered as Twitter made it out to be? Or it it simply another case of what Safy Hallan Farah calls, "the true crime-ization of low stakes interpersonal drama"?  Also, would Maia give Hannah her kidney? Let's find out!
