In this episode Jess & Alex both sip on margaritas from their respective homes (jalapeno/frozen strawberry) while Jess tells Alex all about the mystery that was the writer of the Detroit News' Experience column from the late 1920's into the early 1940's. Her identity was kept secret as she went by the pen name "Nancy Brown."

Who was the mysterious Nancy in real life? What kinds of advice did she give her readers? Tune in and find out!
