For example, imagine if Victoria appeared on Aurelia's stream (I will grant Marten's comment in the final panel is indeed sage wisdom), and then Marigold idly asked Marten 'so how was your Mom's flight to meet Mommymilkers,' Marten foolishly blurting something like 'no flight, she lives within walking distance,' and going from there.
Two successful streamers in the same small Massachusetts town is a massive coincidence, and while that's perfectly reasonable thing to happen in a sitcom-ified world, it's also something you can build a joke around.
