Good but made me so anxious. Like it loses points just bc I was rooting for Portia and NOBODY understood her. Portia, sweetie, I know you would love Lana. She’s such a teenage girl ugh❤️

Super fun… but that’s about it. Like I def chuckled but it didn’t do anything for me other than being a bit crazy and silly?
