S3E1 Dear Minerva

Sam introduces a new advice column titled Dear Minerva in the newspaper, with himself as the hidden author. However, Kate argues that a woman should pen the column. After some convincing, Sam persuades Kate to take on the role, provided her identity remains secret. Juggling her hotel responsibilities and the writing proves challenging for Kate, but the column quickly gains popularity. When a major newspaper expresses interest in syndicating Dear Minerva, Sam leaves a note for Kate. The girls mistakenly intercept it, believing it reveals a romantic connection between Sam and Kate. They turn to Minerva for guidance, prompting her to address their worries and declare her final column.
