In the season 2 finale, friends Ashley O’Neill and Sydney Blanchard are truly confronted with themselves. Syd reveals herself to be an expert-level internet sleuth, and Ashley is hung up on the story of Adam and Eve.

Remaining true to the thesis of the show, the women discuss the inner workings of adult friendship, “The Missing Stair” theory, the inconvenience of feelings and the Soft Launch.
