The brief
The recap opens with Haley calling Erin boring, while Taco Bell, Sai’s divorce paperwork, and Daisy and Eugene’s contrasting marriage set the episode’s comic tension.
At Sai’s surprise brunch, Haley arrives after smoking weed and visiting Taco Bell, while Daisy’s flirtatious tutor texts and a recording mishap send the women into panic.
Erin’s supportive toast is really aimed at Jessel, reopening their feud over insults and emotional distance before a dermatologist dispute turns the brunch into an escalating pile-on.
The conversation shifts to Carolyn Bessette and the Kennedy family, and Carol becomes increasingly upset as the women make jokes about tragedies and her late friend’s story.
Carol leaves the gathering, but the conflict does not resolve: Erin immediately returns to gossip about Jessel and the dermatologist incident.
