At first, she goes to Lily for help crafting a sext, recognizing Lily’s skill at erotica, but the predictably filthy text she crafts just isn’t Viv.
The “sex case of the week” this time, in a way, belongs to Viv, who doesn’t like the medieval-themed sexts Eugene has been sending her. There’s plenty more relationship drama to go around, but none of it feels contrived, the way some did in season two. It’s so sweet and tender, but Cal cuts it off pretty quickly and says they don’t think they can do this. Jackson finally convinces Cal to go to Hope with their thoughts about gender-neutral changing rooms, saying they made him realize he cares about things. That honor also goes to Jackson and Cal, who take ’shrooms and spend the day happily vibing. It’s not the only first kiss of the episode. When they’re picked back up, Maeve tells Otis she needs to sort her head out before they talk about what this all means. The kiss is deeply romantic, down to Otis’s panicked “I don’t want to lose you again,” even with Maeve’s realistic confession that she’s confused (after all, things have been going so well with Isaac). (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. Otis tells her what he tried to say in last season’s finale: He loves her. Maeve tells Otis she never heard the voice-mail he left her and asks what it said. And before the class comes back and rescues them, the two have the conversation we’ve been waiting for. It’s a mean thing to say, even if Aimee is continuing to avoid dealing with the fundamental problems in her relationship.Īs a result, Maeve is one of the two people without phones or wallets who get left behind at the rest stop when the coach takes off without them. And it escalates even further when Maeve accuses Aimee of staying with Steve just because she’s too much of a people pleaser. But it becomes about more than that when Aimee points out Maeve’s pattern of rejecting help and pushing away the people who love her. At first, it’s an argument about class and privilege Aimee doesn’t quite understand why Maeve would be upset at getting a massive handout from her best friend. The poop scene also leads to Maeve and Aimee’s first fight after Maeve finds out Aimee paid for her trip. It totally alters Rahim’s perception of him as “unremarkable.” Adam, stuck in the same group as Rahim, takes the fall when the teachers investigate which student threw the shit-filled sock out the window. What’s great about the poop scene, besides the shock and chaotic hilarity, is that it’s also an effective plot device. The turd splatters graphically on the windshield like something from a horror movie, traumatizing a little kid and causing the car to swerve into the coach.
It’s a creative alternative to plunging, but the problem is the French family driving behind the coach. So he does what any of us would do: He reaches into the toilet, loads a sock with his own excrement, and lobs it out the window. Other people are knocking, and flushing doesn’t seem to do anything but overflow the toilet. When Rahim clogs the coach toilet, he starts to panic. Most impressive, the trip relentlessly pushes the plot forward in many of this season’s key story lines - while also featuring a drug trip and one of the most hilariously outrageous scenes of the show. It’s the kind of new, abnormal setting rife with potential for conflict, and it allows for some interesting character dynamics that might not happen otherwise.
In the best episode of season three yet, Sex Education takes a trip to France.
