Are you sobbing now?

You are not alone.

Doesnt it feel good?

Because guys, heres the thing: Nothings better than friends.

Still, this is Kristys episode, so we should toughen up a little and get down to business.

She doesnt feel like she belongs anywhere near it.

And poor David Michael, who cant seem to move past losing his puppy.

It doesnt help that Stacey stops over to hang out, but only because Sam texted her.

She also drags the entire state of New Jersey.

Kristy and Liz buck up and head to the Delaneys for tea.

No, the vibe in the room is chilly.

Maybe even more so.

So, Mrs. Delaney objectively sucks.

But you know who doesnt?

Hes also there if shedoesntwant to talk and would rather stand in silence in his midnight snack nook.

I mean, the guy has a midnight snack nook.

He also seems pretty great for Liz.

THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WITH ME.

Of course, Kristy is the only available babysitter, so she heads back over to the ice fortress.

She begins to see cracks in Amandas snobby facade and decides to get the girl on her own turf.

She brings her over to her house and hangs out with David Michael, still pretty upset about Louie.

She opens up about how her mother hired Kristy not to be her sitter but her friend.

It dawns on Kristy: Amanda isnt truly terrible, shes just lonely.

You never fully know whats going on with people at first glance.

It all comes to a head at a charity event Mrs. Delaney invites them to attend.

Liz thinks its yet another ploy to knock her down a few pegs and refuses to go.

Eventually, though, perhaps setting a good example for her daughter, she shows up.

Okay, okay, Ill save it for my other meeting).

Ah, the old Fake It Till You Make It play.

This is why Kristys the president, people.

Aw, Logans not the brightest bulb, is he?

Liz, are you responsible for the cantaloupe?

Stay weird, Karen.

Three weeks in Southern California, and I feel like a whole new person!

Its funny because its true.

Welcome to the party, youre doing great, sweetie.

And this is coming from someone who has an inordinate amount of enthusiasm for The Baby-Sitters Club!

I didnt like her in the books as a 12-year-old, and things are not trending well now.

Apologies in advance for all Mallory Pike lovers, should you be out there.

Finish your homework before you summon the devil.

Oh, Richard Spier, youve been missed!
