Tonight on Generation Gap, two teams of different generations competed against each to win cash prizes. One of the contestants, Bobbie, claimed that her grandchildren kept her connected to pop culture. Later, the grandmother from another team, Sandye, gave correct answers in all three rounds.
Bobbie could not answer the questions of the younger generation or about her own generation. While she could not recognize Aquaman, Sandye quickly answered questions of the opposite generation, including identifying cronuts and the mystery guest Huey Lewis's instrument of choice.
In the pop quiz round, Bobbie could only answer one question correctly about the songs of her generation, like the American Bandstand. On the other hand, Sandye guessed every question correctly, including Katy Perry's fan base and Taylor Swift's song We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.
Generation Gap fans praised Sandye for her terrific performance and slammed Bobbie for not even knowing the most basic of questions.

What happened on Generation Gap tonight?
Tonight on Generation Gap, two teams, each consisting of two members of different generations, competed against each other to win cash prizes. The teams were:

In the first round of the game, the contestants were asked to answer questions about/ identify objects of the other generation on different topics. No one could identify Fabio or Jason Mamoa.
Skye was able to identify the Twilight franchise. Sandye recognized the Lincoln Logs and Kewpie dolls, earning them $1000, while Bobbie's team was far off and had earned only $500. Sandye's grandson Max identified Marshmallow.
By the end of the round, Skye's team was only at $500, while the competing team had earned $4500 at the time. Tonight's mystery guest was Huey Lewis. He gave multiple hints about his identity, including the instrument of his choice, his Oscar-nominated song Power of Love, dueting with Gwyneth Paltrow, and his famous song Hip to be Square.
