Ever looked at your spouse and thought “I love you, but I really don’t like you right now”? No? Just us?

Santi finally admits his laundry situation is out of control. Susie confesses she might be a tiny bit of a control freak on vacation. And together they figure out why loving someone and liking someone are two very different things, and what to do when those two things stop showing up at the same time.
