This week Christy and Anneliese are truly in their nautical era and go on one of the most famous tourist sites in Austin, Texas - the bat boats. In order to see the bats under the bridge, they take a duffy boat out on the river… and fall in love with each other? They also learn about the serial killer who is leaving bodies in the exact lake they’re in, and question why in this day and age the killer has yet to be caught. Whether rain or sun, though, Christy and Anneliese are on the hunt to see some bats!


Why is Christy traumatized from beach sand? Why do they have to rent two different boats? And why were Christy and Anneliese not friends earlier in life?
