Its a tale as old as time: Boy meets girl.
Boy and girl have a romantic courtship and thrilling sexual escapades and commit a smattering of manslaughters.
But alas, the spark goes out of their relationship.
Sure, nobody around them is dying.
But are boy and girl reallyliving???
Six months have passed since Love killed Natalie.
Love and Joe report to their therapist that they are just a normal, boring suburban family now.
Whatever, anything to make Henry happy!
Parenting is about sacrifice!
Also, Loves makeup looks fantastic.
Joes douchey shellacked look for the family photo is also perfect styling-as-character work.
A+ to the hair and makeup department this episode.
I love that Joe keeps asking himself, with no irony, Maybe I am the problem?
Like yeah, Joe, of course you are the problem, youre a fuckin psycho!
Good to see a woman with some follow-through.
Again, I will say I am fascinated by how gender-normie the vibe is in this supposedly progressive place.
It feels a bit retro for the setting, no?
Meanwhile, Sherrys hot gossip is that Theo showed up for a midterm drunk and took leave from school.
Theo teases Joes lawn with a Richard Yates level of attention to detail, which is a great burn.
Love fesses up to the Ubers, and Joe goes fullMarriage Storyand shouts while punching a wall.
I write in my notes: Why dont Love and Joe just … open their marriage?
The only rule is that you might ONLY EAT what you KILL FOR YOURSELF.
I personally would be worried about ticks, but I guess MEN cannot get LYME DISEASE.
That is an ILLNESS for GIRLS and BABIES who havent EMBRACED THEIR INNER BEASTS.
Im impossible to kill, he announces and then shoves his arm back into place with a very upsettingcrunchsound.
He approvingly calls Joe one fine specimen of a man.
It is INSANE that none of these dudes even kiss on this trip.
Joe believes these men have accepted his darkness when, in fact, they did no such thing.
Left to her own devices, Love finds herself alone with Theo yet again.
!yo be careful on your scooters, people!).
She teaches him a lesson by … riding on the scooter with him because shes never tried it before.
He knows she isnt happy.
She grabs him and kisses him, and then they have sex in the dirt.
So let me be blunt: Grow up.
That boy will distract you from your son.
Then she suggests fine wine as an alternative to a teen boy, as far as addictions go.
Joe returns home a changed man.
Now that Joe is an animal, they can have great sex again; congratulations, you two.
He has decided no keepsakes, no social media, only watching.
Which is the worst of all three stalking options, no?
But this is how Joe plans to feed his inner beast.
Hes going to be super-duper-extra-careful, and no one will find out or get hurt.
