The episode discusses the controversial question of whether Hunt and Bryce are truly mates, exploring fan theories and key moments from the series.

Babes! We are back this week with a very special episode, covering a question that the fandom lovessssss to talk about: Are Hunt and Bryce really mates?! This is a HUGE question with a whole bunch of controversy surrounding it, so we try to treat it with the respect it deserves.
