Sheets and Blankets
Summary
Kevin and Rebecca, a couple struggling with a nightly mystery where their sheets and blankets mysteriously separate, consult a private investigator who suggests using a surveillance camera to capture the event. After reviewing the footage, the hosts deduce that Rebecca kicks off the heavy comforter when overheating, then pulls the sheet over herself, leaving Kevin with the blanket. The episode concludes with advice to switch to lighter bedding to resolve the temperature imbalance and stop the morning arguments.
