In the final episode of the season, Conrad and Verena do a deep dive into building their dream digital hangout, which they’re calling The Treehouse. It’s not just about setting up another online space—it’s about creating a community where quality time, shared experiences, and a sense of integrating (and constantly re-integrating) comes first.
As they sketch out their vision, the duo turns nostalgic, sharing stories about family, ways to preserve memories, and what it means to feel truly connected. But it’s not all serious—they’re crafting a digital home built on friendship and fun after all. Expect lots of laughs and more signs of a fast-growing friendship between the two.
