The Time Amanda Threw Miss America a Funeral

Chapter 5, Episode 7

A new family walks through the church doors, and Tom smells money. They need to be love-bombed and pulled in immediately, and what better way than to hand them over to Brandi and Amanda? Fresh off being allowed to be friends again, the two are tasked with planning a funeral at Come As You Are—a funeral that quickly turns into a complete disaster.

Amanda and Brandi are manipulated, overworked, and taken advantage of, but in the chaos, something important happens. This new family starts sharing bits of their past—who they were before Come As You Are. But here’s the catch: their story is going to change. Pay close attention to what Amanda is told now, because as time goes on, their narrative will shift, and the truth will become harder to find. This isn’t just a funeral—it’s the start of something much bigger.
