About this episode

This episode, tl;dr: What if literally everyone blamed sex for things that are objectively unrelated --We pick up immediately after Sexy Christian Dad's death (Rob: "RIP to the hottest guy on this show"; Sarah, "Eww") , and the Bowman house has officially entered its "everyone copes in the least healthy way possible" era.Grace has locked herself in her room, convinced that having sex somehow caused a plane crash, because this show will never miss an opportunity to crank purity culture up to eleven.Tom doesn't exactly help matters. He greets Adrian by announcing that Grace killed SCD... and Adrian helped because she made sex look "too fun and too HOT."Sir... that's not how aviation works.Meanwhile, Kathleen asks George to identify SCD's body, proving that despite their incredibly messy history, George really does show up when it matters. It's one of those rare moments where he isn't spreading gossip or making everyone's life worse.Over at the Juergens house, Amy wants to visit Grace but needs someone to watch baby John. Ben volunteers.Amy says no.Ben hears "absolutely not" and somehow translates it as, "Show up anyway."While Amy's gone, Sausage King casually proposes to Jennifer Coolige in the front seat of his car. JC says yes... but then casually mentions one tiny detail:She's still married.Across town, Skipper proposes to Anne because apparently everyone on this show processes unexpected pregnancies by immediately suggesting marriage. Anne isn't exactly swept off her feet, mostly because she's wondering whether Skipper loves her or just feels obligated because she's pregnant.At the Bowman house, Anne arrives just in time to find George rubbing Kathleen's back.To be fair, he is comforting a grieving widow.To Anne... it looks like George's timing is suspiciously convenient.Meanwhile, Amy tries to comfort Grace, who responds by declaring that baby John is basically divine punishment for Amy having sex.Nothing says "thanks for visiting" like insulting someone's newborn. Love Grace's villain era. AND FAIR ENOUGH!!! Back home, Amy discovers Ben has wandered next door looking for diapers because he left John with Leo and Betty.Yes.The newly engaged butcher and his technically-still-married fiancée are now babysitting.What could possibly go wrong?Ben then chooses this exact moment to complain that Amy isn't paying enough attention to him.She's raising a newborn.Read. The. Room.Elsewhere, Ashley asks George the question we've all been screaming at the TV:"Did you actually get a vasectomy?"George insists he did... while acting so suspicious that even the audience starts checking his medical records.Meanwhile, Ricky and Adrian sneak off for some quality time in the car before Sexy Bald Ruben interrupts them like the world's most awkward neighbourhood watch volunteer. Surprisingly, instead of threatening Ricky, Ruben actually has a mature conversation about boundaries and promises Adrian he'll get them a proper house.This may be the single healthiest conversation in the entire episode.Which is saying something.The episode ends on an especially heartbreaking note.Grace tells Jack she doesn't love him anymore and vows she'll never have sex again, convinced she's being punished for it.Jack is left sitting alone outside with a beer, wondering how his life unraveled so spectacularly in the space of 48 hours.✨ Final score:Rob: -1Ashley: -1Sarah: -2
