It’s the first episode of 2026 and the gang ease into the New Year in true Confession Box style — by immediately arguing about dates, shopping, and who actually paid for Christmas.
Julie reveals how a year of obsessive bottle collecting turned into nearly €300 in vouchers, which somehow funded two full Christmas dinners… but still left everyone wondering where all the food went. That spirals into post-Christmas shopping chaos, Nana P navigating Dunnes on a broken leg, and Sean sending a “simple” shopping list that nearly causes a full aisle meltdown (granola, yoghurt and rice are all up for debate).
As the chat drifts between icy roads, cancelled school buses, hospital scans, and Christmas nights out, Sean takes a sharp turn into philosophy — introducing the trolley problem, the butterfly effect, and whether everything really does happen for a reason. Julie and Nana P are… not fully on board.
