Lisa and Allison start the show explaining why a return to the beginning is so refreshing. The girls talk about a few of the signature baked offerings, as well as address the informal and unusual behavior of both Mary and Paul as judges.  This very first cake week gives the girls lots of techniques to compare, and lots of glowing endorsements for the return of the challenges as they existed in 2010.

Lisa and Allison reiterate their disappointment over the most recent season finale.  Both girls reintroduce final showstopper challenges from previous bake off seasons and compare the difficulty and intensity of their showstoppers.   They discuss the decline of expectations, and hash up Lisa's old highschool classes on marriage and family. Lisa introduces the concept of brackets laden with bake-off contestants,  and, suggests that Rahul would be the ultimate baker of them all.

The girls get down to it, the 2023 finale! The girls discuss the eclair signature bake, and Lisa shares her banoffee pie bake after Matty's signature bannofee eclairs. The dated lardy cake technical has the girls musing about old fashioned lard jars, and their use besides in cake.
A less than show stopping final has the girls discussing who the real winner is, and if the outcome should've been different. Lisa offers to sing 'Final Countdown' one of her favorites to perform, and the girls foreshadow a surprise future guest!

Only four bakers left to discuss this week as its the patisserie semi-final.  A perfectly decent signature of fancy financiers is discussed with Lisa stating she'd like to make them some day. The girls both agree that Dan's flavors are spot on, but is matcha really necessary? Allison shares the illegality of the Tonka bean here in the U.S.
And, praise is given for Dan's Hollywood handshake. 
The Mille-feuille final leaves both girls wondering who actually make this, and why did Tasha make her last bake so difficult? Josh impresses with his showstopper, and the girls are chuffed to bits for the final!

A completely new theme is unveiled for the quarterfinal....  "PARTY"!
Bakers celebrate with their signature sausage rolls, and Lisa reminds us all of the American store-bought crescent roll, and pigs in a blanket. The girls discuss sausage and its iterations on American pizza, and share anecdotes of pizzas past. The somewhat strange caterpillar cake technical leads to its brief British history, and thoughts about it being much more representative of a 1970's kid cake.
The bakers are tasked with creating showstoppers that don't include "beige" items. The girls discuss the successes and failures of such a loose themed challenge.

It's another dessert week, and Allison speaks to every episode feeling like dessert week. A creme carmel signature has Allison sharing about her serving days at an Italian restaurant. Lisa shares the ease at which she makes carmel, and also gives the bones of a recipe that uses just one ingredient. Both Lisa and Allison scold Paul as he continuously rakes the bakers over the coals in this episode's technical treacle pudding challenge. Kudos given to Christy for producing the girls' favorite meringue bombe, and a brief farewell for Lisa's favorite baker Saku. Dessert week!
