Billie expressed during the episode, “And my face is like right there, and actually we filmed so much in making the album that almost all the footage is his feet and then me.” Their longest argument happened during a time when they were both trying to be honest with each other. Finneas admitted he was a bit arrogant, criticizing Billie for not being honest or authentic enough.
He praised saying "You were coming up with such beautiful melodies and cool cadences, that like then by the time we had full lyrics, everything else was done." Billie responded with a heartfelt "Aww, love that."
