It looks like a case of the clickbait To Be Continued… strikes again.

I was so excited.

All we got was one damp sparkler that wouldnt even light, just like the one on Venitas cupcake.

It didnt have to be that way or did it?

What we get is Kathryn going to an immature and defensive place almost immediately, as per ush.

Kathryn is checked out from this conversation.

Venita took Olivia to the side at the party to discuss the confrontation they had at Naomies birthday party.

(Why does that episode feel like four COVID variants ago when it was just like three weeks?)

Venita says she didnt like when Olivia told her to calm down and put her hand in her face.

Then Venita says that what really upset her is when Olivia walked away from the conversation.

Olivia says she heard the word racist and Im not about to stick around for that.

This is a sort of Do you beat your wife?

question because there is no right answer.

If Olivia says shes racist, then, well, she just admitted to being racist on reality television.

Im checking out because its not okay to throw that out.

How can she just shut down whenever the word comes up?

When Venita tries to respond, Olivia says, Youre not going to cancel culture me out on this.

Oh, the Tucker Carlson fan cam is strong with this one.

Venita points out the kryptonite to use on every right winger who rages on about cancel culture.

No one has been canceled, and no one will cancel Olivia for talking about race.

Wewillcancel her for her reaction to someone trying to have a conversation with her.

BREAKING NEWS: The Supreme Court just overturned Olivias cancellation 6-3.

The bullshitiest part is what comes next.

Olivia says, Im all for having these conversations… Um,what?

She literally just said when the word racist comes up that she checks out.

Both cant be true.

She adds that she will have these conversations, but not when theyre heated.

Other than this exchange, the rest of the episode is a total snooze.

I like this Marcie character, but I only met her like three seconds ago.

I dont care that she cant figure out how to put a crib together.

Add 20 more) bad idea.

Im also having difficulty caring about this road trip that Shep, Austen, and Craig are on.

While were at it, Im having a hard time with this season.

It all seems so disparate and diffuse.

Craig also has some good advice for Shep.

Shep calls his GF Taylor, and shes not thrilled that hes going out with the boys.

Shep tells her to stop being crazy and that everything will be fine.

She isnt crazy for thinking this might happen.

Shes the sanest person on this whole damn show.

(Oh, look, shes so saneshe broke up with Shep yesterday.)

Craig says, That will be the consequence of the scars of infidelity in the relationship.

Craig says that Shep isnt made for relationships, that no one can tie him down.

It cant always be on the woman to move on.

At some point, Shep needs to stop wanting to have his Buffalo wings and eat them too.
