  • #23 MIMI IS THE COOLEST
    Nov 16 2025

    After learning that Victor Wronski — the steroid-fueled attacker — has left the hospital, Cynthia worries about Evan's safety while trying to follow the detective's plea to keep quiet. Meanwhile Mimi embraces a bold new persona with dramatic flair, winning attention at school, and Cynthia navigates friendships, family moments, and the tension between grown-up investigations and teenage life.

    The episode mixes suspense about Wronki's freedom, tender family scenes, and Mimi's surprising transformation into a confident, theatrical presence.
