In this week's bonus episode of Ice is Slippery, we're talking about Episode 6 of Heated Rivalry. Kate's already been to the cottage four times, and Fred's trying to figure out how to put her into an induced coma so she isn't insufferable until 2027. We also marvel at Hudson Williams mastery over his tear ducts.
