Episode 475: You Can’t Acquit With Us

Episode notes

Stephanie files suit against her younger sister Ashley. As kids, they both created clubs with their friends and excluded each other. Stephanie believes that Ashley started her club first, excluding Stephanie and sparking this years’ long dispute. Ashley disagrees. Stephanie would now like to be retroactively inducted into Ashley’s childhood club. Who’s right? Who’s wrong?
