It's another hotline caller ep but we couldn't resist doing a *tiny* wedding recap before cutting to the episode! Jeri is officially a PARSONS (insert airhorn sounds here)! The day was perfect and beautiful and we wish JD and Barry the happiest life imaginable. For a detailed recap listen to Ladies & Tangents next episode!

Our caller/emailer, Sara asks us a loaded question: How can she tell her dad that her stepmother is ruining their relationship (and his life), in a way he will understand? Rach and Jeri talk boundaries, try to psychoanalyze a man they've never met, and Rach may or may not have projected a tiny bit. Bottom line, you should never have to explain to a parent that you are worthy of their time, respect, and loyalty.
