German accents and word plays made me chuckle every time. Great episode!
I would love point out that adoption in itself has a huge impact on developing BPD. its not always the parents the child grew up with, the trauma often comes from the abandonment from birth parents.
And the whole idea of conversion makes me puke in my mouth a little.
Great cinema piece...Gleason.

I still remember the day I decided to prepare for the sbi clerk mock test. It wasn’t a fancy “movie scene” moment with epic background music. Nope. I was sitting in my room, scrolling through job notifications on my old phone, wondering what to do next after college. My parents were quietly hopeful, and my friends were all busy with their own plans. One of them told me how she balanced SBI prep with ICET. She used to take one ts icet mock test every weekend and one banking mock during the week. It helped her stay sharp for both exam patterns. The key, again, was practice. https://www.mockers.in/exam/sbi-clerk-mocktest
