‘Queer Love’ Ep 8: Sam Is Entitled to Financial Compensation
Mildred and Tiff are trying to have a romantic beach date while Mildred’s new hyperactive puppy darts around them. Sweet Shylo is also there (not Sam’s favorite).

Sam and Aussie are getting a drink with Sam’s friend Sharmaine. Sam proudly announces she finally learned to speak up.

Then she starts talking about how Aussie’s energy shifts when she gets upset or annoyed and that pisses Aussie off.
Sharmaine visibly regrets meeting up with them. I thought these two were good! But Aussie keeps saying Sam’s feelings are “bullshit” and that’s when Sharmaine steps in and defends her friend. Then Aussie shuts down and storms out of the bar. Sam’s like “I’m not following that bitch.” So Sharmaine grabs her drink and reluctnatly follows Aussie to the parking lot.

Then Aussie starts screaming “I fucking didn’t do shit!” over and over. She’s now having a full-blown breakdown…
