• Ep. 37: A Friendship Beyond Time: A Tribute to Jessica's Legacy
    Dec 11 2024

    In this heartfelt episode, lifelong friends reflect on their shared experience of writing a chapter together and completing a project as a team before their beloved friend Jessica passed away. The book they worked on was released on Jessica's 50th birthday, a milestone that was particularly significant because her doctors had once doubted she would make it to 50.

    As Pansy and Patty speak, it's clear just how deep their bond runs. The emotion in their words highlights the strength of their friendship and the powerful way they supported each other in completing their "final project" together on Earthside. Despite Jessica's passing, she continues to inspire them with signs and messages from beyond, reinforcing the enduring connection they share.

    At the end of the episode, Criss shares a touching quote that Pansy once said to her about their friendship: "'Til the wheels fall off and we're throwing sparks." This quote encapsulates the unwavering spirit of their friendship and the fire they continue to carry for Jessica's memory.
