Director Rhys Ernst joins us for a complete fucking shitshow of an episode which I believe we all recall fondly as the “Transformation” episode, as per the song performed by Kit, Nona Hendryx and “The Betty Girls” throughout this excruciating experience. We’ve also got oceanside sex, a nice tea station, Angus being an asshat, Max yelling at Jenny, Shane landing in the shithouse for behavior in Carmen’s dream, Bette skipping town for a silent meditation retreat, Max coming out as trans, and a big WNBA surprise for Dana Fairbanks!!!

What a hilariously bad episode to recap. Made for a great pod ep. I enjoy going back and listening to old Kc/Elka The Planet episodes and comparing the different takes on this g.
