20: Water in the desert
In these four stories, the pillow talkers cross deserts of emotional and sexual intimacy; of abuse; of neglect and resentment; and… an actual literal desert, not quite Lawrence of Arabia style. These conversations all happened in the intimacy of the bedroom.

19: I remember
Remembering is an act of storytelling. And if remembering is an act of storytelling, what are the stories we tell each other about the us? Are they stories of love? Stories of war? Stories of the mundane? These stories are all about remembrance of things past – and loved.

Ranging in theme from the heartfelt, to the heart wrenching, to the cringey, the stories in this bumper ep will remind you of the depth and breadth that our bedroom conversations can cover.

Holiday bonus: Epiphany
Our traditions aren't just about keeping customs alive: they're about recapturing something. Maybe a feeling. Or a hope. Or a value. And sometimes, when the stars – or maybe a single, bright star – align, what we recapture can help us find more than we intended.
Happy holidays, Pillow Talkers! See you all in February 2023 for the continuation of Season 2.

17: Sanctuary
Our bedroom sanctuaries are places where we can feel safe. Share our dreams with a special other and come up with new dreams for both. Embrace vulnerability and share our deepest thoughts, feelings, and secrets. These bedroom conversations remind us that the bedroom can be a place that the outside world doesn’t touch.

16: Who do you think you are?
It’s one thing to ponder your identity while looking in the mirror, but another thing altogether to ponder it while looking into your partner’s eyes. Who are you with that person? Who are you to that person? Who are you after that person? These four bedroom conversations are all about how identity and relationships intertwine.
