About this episode

Relationship break-ups are tough but friendships break-ups? Those might be worse. In this week’s episode, Alex and Jon tackle friendships head on from being distant with each other to hiding pregnancies. Can’t we all just get along? I guess not anymore. Also, if Jon and Alex seem all over the place today…it’s because they are. Don’t blame them!! It’s Lucy’s fault! That sweet angel baby.
