These notions are not mutually exclusive.
But lets not get ahead of ourselves.
First, lets go back to the frozen pizza of it all that leads to this fascinating narrative arc.
but not any real violence.
Josh responds by throwing a drink you just know he grabbed solely for this fight.
And the rest is just a bunch of yelling, finger-pointing, apologizing, and more finger-pointing.
And as a woman, Esther apologizes.
Josh tries to gather some troops at the last minute to nominate Fessy and Esther for the next Lair.
So basically, Esther awkwardly made out with him for nothing.
And Kaycee accurately responds that shes not responsible for the decisions of two grown-ass men.
Meanwhile, Amanda is scolding Cory and Tori for egging on the fight and grabbing Josh.
Theres nothing revelatory about this scene or hearing Josh make the sounds of a vacuum cleaner.
We all know Josh feels more than the average human being.
And Fessy knows that a simple apology is all it takes to smooth things over.
Instead, the next morning, TJ arrives at the house where everyone seems prepared for the worst.
Additionally, I didnt like the rehearsed, calculated manner in which TJ relayed Fessys deactivation.

But boy, is he in for a surprise!
Im grateful that were getting back to the basics.
Also, its now called Cage Rage.
So Esther goes down to the pit.
And Im like, cool!
So the women compete for two rounds, both of which Emy wins.
Emy gets what she wants and picks CT, whos being very polite about it.
Overall, this episode ends on a pretty somber, karmic note.
Hopefully, we have some more silly confrontations coming up but without all the excessive guilt and shame.
