A single grease-stained pizza box, black plastic clamshell or unrinsed yogurt cup can throw off the sorting process at recycling facilities, and the result…

It may be hard to believe that the previous season wrapped up in 2022. On my TikTok “For You” page, I still see 4-year-old clips on the regular.  Season 3 takes place five years after season 2 (see our finale recap here), well after high school.…
