Do you wait for things to fall apart before asking for help—or do you get curious while things are still good? In the two-part season finale of Anything But CliShay, Clifton and Shay choose curiosity.

This episode documents their first-ever couples therapy session, starting with a deceptively simple question: Do we need therapy? What follows is a deeply human conversation about communication styles, emotional regulation, past relationships, and the unspoken negotiations couples make every day just to keep the peace. From missed flights and airport anxiety to “going along to get along,” the episode explores how conflict is avoided, expressed, or quietly absorbed—and what that costs over time.

With guidance from their therapist, Clifton and Shay unpack how past relationships shape present behavior, why being laid-back can be both a strength and a blind spot, and how creating a safe space doesn’t mean silencing yourself. The tone is candid, self-aware, and grounded in humor—because growth doesn’t have to be grim.

This isn’t a story about dysfunction. It’s about intention. About choosing to nurture something good before it cracks. Part one sets the foundation. Part two promises the deeper dive. Stay tuned—tissues may be required.
