Gabriel was upset over Lola - AGAIN! He text Lisbeth and soon they were speaking. He poured out his heart. She listened and helped soothe his dispirited soul. Unfortunately, Lisbeth was his emotional microwave popcorn friend. An hour after they spoke he was heartbroken again. He made some microwave popcorn and wept into the bowl watching Baywatch.
