In this episode, The Feloni$t rides the emotional whiplash of legal updates, sleepless nights, and the countdown to freedom. Valentine’s Day hits different on the inside, stirring memories of real connection while she leans on writing to keep her mind steady.

Dreams expose her fears, forgiveness tests her patience, and hope becomes the one thing she refuses to surrender.
