Joe, who is someone else's boyfriend.
Just when Tab is afraid she'll burst from keeping the secret of Joe inside, she finds Life by Committee. The rules of LBC are simple: tell a secret, receive an assignment. Complete the assignment to keep your secret safe.

But in the name of truth and bravery, how far is too far to go?
