The episode begins with a skit titled "Abusive Couple," in which Amy plays a woman who is in a volatile relationship with her partner, played by Bill Hader. The skit highlights the psychological effects of being in an abusive relationship and how the signs are often ignored by the victim.
Another skit titled "Unpleasant Truths" features Amy as the host of a game show where guests are expected to face embarrassing truths about themselves.

The skit features Amy as a director who is creating a film about a man who has lost his ability to taste, but is still a food critic. The skit mocks the ridiculous plotlines of many indie films and the self-importance of indie filmmakers.
The episode also includes an interview with a woman who has just gotten divorced. The interview provides an opportunity for Amy to satirize society's fixation on marriage and the pressure on individuals to conform to the societal norms of marriage. The interviewee talks about how her divorce has made her a social pariah and the stigma associated with being a divorced woman.
Another skit titled "One Night Stand" features Amy as a woman who wakes up after a one-night stand to find herself alone with the man's dog. The skit examines the awkwardness and confusion that can arise after a one-night stand and the societal expectations surrounding casual sex.
Lastly, the episode ends with a skit titled "The Foodroom," a parody of the hit show "The Newsroom." In the skit, Amy plays a news anchor who is creating a show about a fictional restaurant. The skit pokes fun at the sensationalism of news and the emphasis placed on food culture.
