In Washington, guests arrived at Acre 121 for the HavPlenty Brunch with bottomless mimosas awaiting them. DJ Fanci kept the energy high as guests dined on a lavish breakfast buffet. After the brunch, HavPlenty founder Lauren Grant introduced the episode which guests fully enjoyed, given the laughs and gasps throughout the screening.
