This week's episode is heavy on geo-politics.
The so-called Islamic State Group is on the cusp of defeat in Syria.
Eliza wonders if it's time to properly recognise it as a 'state'? After all, it had all the hallmarks of one: a functioning bureaucracy, control of civic functions like waste disposal, its own currency and the ability to launch military operations.
But Geraldine still maintains that giving I-S formal statehood is giving it a power and notoriety it doesn't deserve.
The women also discuss how to moderate social media in troubling times like this.
And finally, the restorative power of a good hair colour and cut.
