1 The GBBO hosts imitating the Derry Girls characters
Watching the hosts tell each other to "Catch yourself on!" in a not terrible Derry accent was a definite highlight from the episode.
2 Every panicked face on every single person all the way through the show
We've got reaction memes for days, lads.

4 Those not-so-subtle innuendos
"You're gonna lick her all over."
"I hope it's not too stiff." "Oo er!"

5 Literally every single thing Siobhán said and did.
We all want a Sister Michael spin-off but honestly, a Siobhán McSweeney Show would be just as good.

6 Nicola using a serious amount of oil... in a non-stick pan.
(She explained herself on Twitter, and honestly, we'd do the same.)
7 Jamie-Lee sneaking up on Paul as revenge for him hovering menacingly behind everyone

8 Everybody's cake.
The broken heart. The tye-dye that wasn't tye-dye. The crashed plane. The pottery scene from Ghost. Cork Battenburg. "Musty".
9 Nicola "A Broken Woman" Coughlan
This is the personification of the Sunday morning Fear.
The whole thing has made us even hungrier (excuse the pun) for a brand new series of Derry Girls.
Fingers crossed for season 3 in 2020!
Here’s to a fabulous 2020 for you all! #GBBO #DerryGirls pic.twitter.com/Fkv31LiNpY
