In the best episode of season three yet,Sex Educationtakes a trip to France.
When Rahim clogs the coach toilet, he starts to panic.
Other people are knocking, and flushing doesnt seem to do anything but overflow the toilet.
Its a creative alternative to plunging, but the problem is the French family driving behind the coach.
It totally alters Rahims perception of him as unremarkable.
The other, of course, is Otis.
And before the class comes back and rescues them, the two have the conversation weve been waiting for.
Maeve tells Otis she never heard the voice-mail he left her and asks what it said.
Otis tells her what he tried to say in last seasons finale: He loves her.
(He did when he sent the voice-mail, at least, but come on he still does.)
They kiss, the culmination of two and a half seasons of sexual tension.
Its not the only first kiss of the episode.
That honor also goes to Jackson and Cal, who take shrooms and spend the day happily vibing.
He calls Cal beautiful and the two kiss.
She only solves the problem by being honest, telling Eugene what she likes and doesnt like.
In the end, both are mature enough to make a compromise.
He even asks for a paternity test.
Episode 5 moves many of the central romantic arcs of the series forward.
We see that the reason shes there is to schedule another IVF treatment since hers havent been working.
Its nice to see one character engage with the actual educational aspect of the trip.
Anwars angry shout of Can we hey go home?
after Miss Sands and Mr. Hendricks agree to move in together made me laugh out loud.
Its the most Ive ever liked Anwar.
Im not sure what Im hoping the outcome of the Otis-Maeve-Isaac triangle will be right now.
(Besides, knowing this show, Isaac will stick around regardless.)
