Okay, wow, a funny one!
It makes sense for a show that knows its ending.
Gather ye cry reacts while ye may.
Anna got her braces off!
Do you remember getting your braces off?
I remember how weird it felt for your teeth to move individually in your mouth once again.
Anna is spotted by a modeling scammer, a common pest in many a midsize city.
This modeling grift is particularly galling, demanding $3,000 to start ones career on the catwalk.
Maya is hugely supportive of her friend, but Kathy knows its a scam (orpossibly scamola).
Anna doesnt want to hear it, though.
She wants to become an example and go to far-flung fashion capitals like Tuscon.
Anna and her mom have a hugely unproductive and very realistic fight.
Kathy makes good points, but Anna is yelling too much to hear them.
Finally, Kathy gives up and asserts she is theadultand will beheeded.
Her parents foist adulthood onto her too often except when they want to pull rank.
Meanwhile, Maya is over her family because Shuji got a cellphone.
But surely Yuki and Fred should have known what discord this would sow in their family.
They pack everything theyll need for a new life as a model and a models mother.
But when Anna tries to reciprocate, Maya shuts her down.
Maya says shes that made peace with being ugly and that its honestly freeing.
Now, we know thats not true.
You know how you feel bad right now?
Well, in the future, youll feel bad about feeling bad!
Maya Erskine is a beautiful person, but Maya Ishii-Peters could find peace in being ugly.
The human body does so many cool things besides being hot.
Teen girls shouldnt be told how retrospectively gorgeous theyll feel; they should be taught how to throw axes.
Anyway, while packing for a life on the open road, Maya opens Kathys forbidden drawer.
Maya finds a vibrator, a hefty fucker with a white pearlescent sheen.
Do they bring the vibrator?
They do bring Daddy, the hamster Curtis burdened Anna with at the conclusion of theirDaddy-daughter weekend.
(Sidenote: Mayas adulthood drag looks like the fitsthat the girl with the keyboards in her bathroomconstructs.
Creepy guys loom at the edges of this otherwise relatively lighthearted episode.
I said this episode is relatively lighthearted, yet there is an animal death in it.
Sorry to Does the Dog Die?, but Daddys death is funny.
But that Golden Butt goes in for the double mauling is incredible.
Derrick has borrowed his brothers license, and the boys drive over to pick the girls up.
The last thing we see in the penultimate episode ofPEN15is a Perot 92 bumper sticker.
The only sketchy men Anna and Maya cant run away from are the ones theyve chosen to date.
