Welcome to Plathville 8.2 - You Catch More Flies with Honey
Kim gets roasted (except not at all) at a party she seemingly threw for herself to celebrate the fact that she's dating Ken? I don't know. The Plaths do a roundtable telling each other what they don't like about one another and it's one of the healthiest things i've ever seen them do. But that's not SAYING MUCH.
