Chapter 1: Where does Sutton take Garcelle and Kyle in Augusta?
So here we are in Augusta. So they drive up, they drive to Sutton's house and she's like, I just left. Augusta, Georgia. It's where I grew up. And of course, it's also where I learned the art of ballet. Let's get some pictures of that. Okay, great. Thank you. And I have all my childhood friends and they're still my friends for life. They're still my friends for life.
So we see a lot of pictures of her hurt too and re-beholding her. And I can tell you right now, that is some evil Meemaw hair. And I think they all had it back then because my Meemaw had it too. And that woman was a terrorist. She was terrifying. She was a very sweet lady, but especially in the younger years, she could be terrifying. Oh, my God.
Ronnie, I have a question. Do we think that Sutton loves Augusta? Because I'm not sure she's said it this episode. Has she said, I love Augusta this episode? Has she? She has. Actually, she has. I love Augusta. I just love Augusta. I am so happy in Augusta. And I like when she said that all her childhood friends are still like she's like there and they are still here in my life.
Now, do I talk to them? No. Do I acknowledge them? No. Do I allow them to look at me in the eye? No. But they still are in my life. I see them on the fringes.
Chapter 2: What is Sutton's relationship with her childhood friends?
Do I ever invite them to the Elton John Oscars party? No, I don't. But you know what? Maybe one day I'll see him at Giorgio's somewhere. Is that where we're eating Italian food? I don't know. It's not Chuck E. Cheese. Sorry, it's not glamorous as Chuck E. Cheese, but we do what we can in Augusta, which I love.
I am nervous when anyone meets my mother for the first time. It doesn't matter who they are, especially now Garcelle and Kyle have flown all the way out here to Georgia. Please be nice, Mom. I would be nervous too. Like I was waiting, honestly, I'm not going to lie. I was waiting for some cringy microaggression to come out of Reba's mouth when she met Garcelle.
And I'm still waiting for it because I feel like it's going to happen.
It came out of her eyes, that's for sure.
It came out of her eyes, yes.
She was like lasering microaggression all over the place. I mean, if you could pantomime microaggressions, this woman's the Marcel Marceau of Augustine microaggressions.
The Marcel Marceau of microaggressions. And Garcelle picks up on it because Garcelle hates her. And I love it because Garcelle's like, oh, I'm not going to let this lady get away with this.
Yeah, you have to put up with your mother. I don't.
Get over here, you old bitch.

Chapter 3: How does Reba react to Garcelle's gift?
The doorbell literally goes, I say, I say, I say.
So they go in. And so it's like, oh, come on, guys. It's not that big. It's just 4,500 square feet. Come on, give it a break.
Oh, sure. Not that big. So Garcelle says, well, I don't expect anything less from Sutton. The house is opulent and beautiful, and there's just a Southern feel about it. You know, old school, people on their porches, having lemonade, waving to your neighbors, not saying what they really feel. It has just that feeling, you know, and you don't get that in Beverly Hills.
Everybody's behind a gate in Beverly Hills.
And so they check out the house, and there's these huge, I mean, just gorgeously done roofs. Now, I will say the furnishings and all that other stuff are not great, this house. I mean, I think it needs a little work on the interior. What do you think?
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it just was, it's just so not my style. It's just not, it's, it was definitely very Southern kind of old. It wasn't old timey, but it felt old fashioned and it just, it felt like a kind of like a hotel more than it did a house that people lived in.
Yeah, I need some more fanciness in the furnishings. I'll say that. But I loved all the paneling and all. I mean, it's a pretty house. Okay, so they look at their rooms and stuff. And then Kyle is looking at pictures and saying who people are, you know. And then we see John Clark and his wife, Ashley. He's the brother. And then we see Sutton and all her children when they were young.
And she's like, do you want to see some good ones? Here's some good pictures of Reba. And they're like, why do you have... prison bars in front of her face. Oh, I added those in Photoshop later. They just make me feel better. Like one day mama's going to meet her karma, you know?
And we see pictures of Sutton in her debutante gown, et cetera. And so then Garcelle, then Reba shows up with her friend, Jim from Savannah. I love that they put friendly quotation marks.

Chapter 4: What is Kathy's dinner party theme?
Y'all. Excuse me. You always sound good on my, with, with my recordings as well. Your audio comes through. I capture your good audio. It's not like I, it's not like I have an old cassette player in your house that I've got a live feed from. It's
So they go look at the backyard and it's enormous and gorgeous. And then there's like a little servant's quarters in the back. Well, it's an enormous servant's quarters. It's bigger than my house, but it's huge. And that's where Miss Reba lives.
And she's like, well, you know, after Sutton left town, she needed some place to come back for her, you know, Christian and the children, especially Christian. So we decided I should live on the property as well. When she asked me, she said, mama, I would just like to know where you are at all times. So it's just easier to burn your house down if it's on the same property.
And I said, and then she said something about a store. I don't know. She put some dresses in a shop. That's about the size of my kitchen in the servants quarters. And I'm supposed to be impressed. I don't even know. Anyway, where's this car from her shitty little boutique? Sorry. Did I say the S word?
I'm sorry. Is this a gender free scarf? You know, her mom's over five. And that's probably also one of the reasons she doesn't like Sutton's store is because Sutton has a lot of non-gender. What do you call that? Non-binary. Yes, non-binary. Thank you. Non-gendered clothing. But you know what I mean. Non-binary clothing and stuff like that's kind of her niche, I think, right?
And so the mom's probably like, disgusting. So Garcelle tries again. And she's like, oh, well, Reba, I love your grandchildren. Very smart, very sweet kids. And she goes, they are smart. James is kind of weird. And they start cracking up. And Garcelle just goes, well, I got a weird one, too. And she goes, yeah, I know. I've seen him.
Wow. Wow. Well, then if you've seen him, then you know that Garcelle is a great friend to your daughter. So you should really be nicer to Garcelle.
Fucking evil old lady. God, the only thing this house is missing is a pool to drown your ass in.
It's the first haunted house where the ghosts are scared of the humans. So Sutton is like, well, now mom, now why would, why would you call James word? He's like the cool one. He's like cool in school. Sutton is so upset. Like she finally raised a cool child and grandma's undermining him.

Chapter 5: Why is there tension at Kathy's dinner party?
Yeah. So Dorit shows up and Bose shows up and they all sort of gather. And Dorit's like, oh, hello to my most favorite people in the whole entire world. And Bose is like, well, I have to put this down because I have to give you a full body hug, which is a type of hug that I invented. Now get ready for the Bose hug. You know what I'm saying?
You're not touching my kneecaps, goddammit. Put your kneecaps against mine. It's a full body hug. Kinkle to kinkle.
Harder. I want one of those. Harder, please.
Harder. And Dorit's like, darling. And so they hug, and then Erica comes, and she's like, hello, everybody.
Oh, God, I don't know why, girls, but I just feel good today. I feel good today.
Yeah, she's really excited.
She's like, hello.
So, Kathy's like, well, I talked to Kyle, but, you know, she's busy, and I guess they left today, Sutton and Garcelle.
Oh, yeah, they went to Augusta.

Have you ever wondered how a circus performer could become the most powerful woman in the Byzantine Empire?
Even the Royals is a podcast from Wondery that pulls back the curtain on royal families from ancient empires to modern monarchs to show you the darker side of what it means to be royalty.
Before she ruled an empire, Theodora was a teen sensation in circus shows featuring dancing bears, burlesque performers, and blood-soaked chariot races. But when her star came crashing down, she clawed her way from rock bottom to the very top, using everything from comedy to espionage to get there.
Empress Theodora didn't just survive. She revolutionized women's rights across the Byzantine Empire, like changing laws to let women divorce men, own property, and bring abusive men to justice. For all her work in pioneering, she's remembered as the most powerful Byzantine empress in history.

We go back to Augusta and we go to the restaurant Luigi's. Luigi's is an establishment in Augusta. And I've been coming here since I was a little girl. It's family owned. I think it's three generations. Let's take a look at Penelope. Penelope, get your close up. Penelope's like, hi, I'm Penelope from Luigi's.
But I hear there's like a more popular restaurant called Mario's just down the street. Well, that's fine. But some of us like Luigi's.
So it's listen, if anyone can relate to a haunted castle, it's me. You've seen that old bag of bones trying to suck you into a vacuum cleaner and spit you back out.
