Vee finally gets to move into her new house and of course chaos has ensued. She talks about her guilt regarding Vivi feeling sad on leaving the old house, the dogs not getting quality time, and her rush to finally get her last name changed. Alessandra is flabbergasted at the story of Delta airlines losing a woman's dog, and even MORE flabbergasted at a new korean skincare treatment that involves using salmon sperm. Somehow the conversation ends up rated-R, and let's just say salmon sperm ain't the only facial Alessandra and Vee were rolling their eyes at.

Alessandra thanks everyone for sending in their positive comments on motherhood! Vee and Alessandra share how working at a daycare helped them understand children and their parents more. Sometimes there are times where motherhood might not be an all size fits all, and that's okay! On the negative side of things some parents might take it to the extreme like momma's boys.. Vee is convinced the actress from the reboot live action Snow White movie is trying to burn the project to the ground with the negative comments she has been saying to the press. And what is it with people saying if you're feminine then you can't be powerful? Alessandra and Vee fight back on that idea.
For Spill the Tea, a friend crosses the religious belief line that might end the friendship.
