We're here to heat it up, and we're going to pick it right up where we left off in whatever
the last episode was called. Challenge. Challenge. Yes, it's a challenge to remember. I am challenged but please like and subscribe. OK, so anyway, so what's going on? Nick is well, while Charlie's in the bathroom freaking the fuck out. Yes. Nick is looking wistfully. Did I really write these words? Because sometimes, yeah, he writes. Not me. Yeah, shit. I was like, way to steal my vocabulary. I love it. I've. Been reading theor's words so
long I remember writing this. Anyway, Nick is looking wistfully at texts he sent his dad. His dad read his messages and has not responded to him because he's a dirtbag. He is. I hate that. That is a continuous theme. Nick deserves better. He does. Everyone does better. Nick feels super guilty for giving Charlie a Hickey, but Charlie enjoyed it. I love Nick's innocent. Like I didn't even know. How to do that? Love him so much because, like, he didn't know what he was doing.
He was just like, let me kiss your neck. I've never done that before. Oh, Nick, you did it a little too well, buddy. It's OK. So that part was super cute and charming. But Charlie's first response is heartbreaking because he's like, don't worry, No one's going to know it was you. Like, I hate that that was Charlie's first response. And Charlie didn't even get to, like, revel in this thing that happened. It was just a Don't worry, Nick. You'll be OK. Poor Charlie.
Will he, though? No, No. No one's OK? No. Heat There's a lot what happens in this episode in the next few, but let's go back to towel, Towel, Towel. Why does this sound like towels? Because he's shirtless in the scene. Comes but towel goes, comes into the bathroom and notices the mark and it gets pissed off with Nick. I thought this was super because again, towel loves his friends loudly so that tracks. But what happens in the book is even funnier so in the show.
Tao's like, what? Do you have a bruise on your neck? And then no one says anything. And then Tao puts two and two together and it's like gay, gay stuff happened. How dare you, Nick, you did this to Charlie, so he immediately just gets mad at Nick in the book. OK, so in the book on the Paris trip, Tao doesn't know that Charlie and Nick are dating. Like, I'll get into that in another scene, but so Tao
doesn't know they're dating. So he sees the mark on on Charlie's neck and he and he asked the same thing. He says, where'd you get that bruise from? And Charlie goes, I fell in the shower and Tao's like, OK, and then he just leaves, which like you, nobody heard him fall in the shower. And he just, like believes it. And he's like. And it's just like the one small spot on his neck. I think that's felt what in the shower, it's like this tiny bruise.
So yeah, So I think the book, see it is really funny because this child just like, believes it and he's like, OK and he just like keeps. He should have said that like he slept on his hand or something, because I gave myself like. I bruised my eye from like, sleeping like this before. Yeah, don't fall asleep on your knuckle. No, don't do any of that. But then there's a knock on the door, which Tao answers also with his shirt off 100%.
And who sees it, and who is it? But of course it is L and he freaks out much to the other's delight. OK, yes, the scene is priceless because I loved How's reaction. His reaction is to cover himself with his hands. He's like, oh, and then in the background Isaac is just like lurking, watching this with a smile on his face. I think it's fucking hilarious. Isaac's a professional lurker.
He's super is. And then so of course towel just like shuts the door, doesn't say anything to Elle, and like freaks out. And then we get a second to everybody in the room, a second help me from. Townie's all the helping. Yeah. Oh, my God. But everybody's face does not look helpful. It's just like cheeky sparks around from, like, Isaac, Charlie and Nick. And they're like, I think you just helped yourself. She saw you shirtless a minute ago. You're good, buddy. I love Isaac.
It's just like grit. He's just like always there for like the antics of everybody I know. It's not great. He's a silent the silent man, but he's just funny as fuck. I love it. And the song that's playing from like the minute Charlie wakes up, that's kind of cut intermittently and comes back like after Tao's helped me is the song nobody really Cares by Baby Queen, aka the Write a Song for Jody Comer song.
I love this fucking song and the song fits really well because it's about running out of fucks to give and just living your life as your authentic self, which is very fitting for every person that is in this scene. Can you all just listen to the song and just do it? So here are the lyrics I think that fit everybody Who's having a crisis right now? Who would you be if there was nobody watching? How many parts of your identity are you squashing down?
Does this not sound like everybody in this room just to toe the societal line? And why do people that you've never laid your eyes on define your taste, your weight, the way you dress? Do you even know the people you're trying to impress? Talks cheap. It's okay to be scared. But listen up, because I've got a little secret to share. Nobody really cares. So that's kind of like the quintessential, like high school coming into yourself kind of situation.
And that's like Isaac trying to figure out his sexuality, Nick struggling with being out and being bisexual, Charlie with all his mental health stuff, Tao and his feelings for Al. Like everybody needs to hear this and just be like, be yourself. Just be yourself. Because at the end of the day, nobody's really looking at you and nobody really cares. Everybody's freaking out about themselves. So I I love, I love.
But. I feel like there are, like times where people care, Yeah, but at the end of the day, people are more worried about themselves. Really is what it is. And a lot of that, like, spewing of hate that happens is people projecting about themselves and how unhappy they are with their own lives. So like, be confident. Exactly. Be confident. Live your life, love yourself. You'll be happier for it at the end. You know what I love? Breakfast.
No, I don't love the way this breakfast goes down for Charlie, though. No, poor Charlie. All anyone wants to talk about is his Hickey, and my favorite person that brings up the Hickey is Harry because the it's ridiculous. So Harry, basically they're all at the table and Charlie's like in the middle of this table and the Hickey is on like the left side of his neck and the right side of his neck is facing like the food buffet.
Harry comes in and crosses and he's looking at Charlie's right side and calls him out about the Hickey. That Hickey is not in Harry's line of sight. So what is he calling out? Because he can't see the Hickey, and I'm pretty sure. Amira, we can't see, right? There's a mirror we can't see. Is it already on the school social media? I don't know but. Like Harry tells Matt. And I'm like, Harry, you can't see the Hickey. What are you doing?
Side note though, while Harry is being obnoxious and being like Charlie, I feel like Harry is genuinely like. Happy for Charlie and he's almost like treating him the way he would treat one of the rugby lads if they woke up with a Hickey. Like it's just like, that's what these kind of guys do to each other. However, I think so. I think it like Harry's not trying to be malicious by doing this. I think he's like, you're one of the guys, whoo, good for you,
you got action. But like, Charlie hates being the center of attention and like does not want to be one of the lads are treated that way, so like. Harry just doesn't know how to act in front of people. And like, I feel like he's just been around the same people, so he hasn't learned that. There's different personalities and different ways to interact with people.
He needs to be. He needs to go through some moves and be the new kid in school a couple times, and to teach him about it, he needs to learn diversity. Yeah, but so true. But while Harry is calling out Charlie across the breakfast buffet or whatever, we get the shot between like, Nick and Charlie. Work then is staring there. So like, clearly not everybody in this room knew about the Hickey until Harry was like, wow, you got a Hickey and then Ben looks at them.
And what I love about this is that Ben is sitting alone by himself and having his feelings because again, Ben doesn't have any real friends. That's like been emphasized billion times in these episodes. But Charlie, after he hears that from Harry immediately, like again, he gets really small and he gets back into that dark mental space. And because unlike on the bus when when Isaac was sitting next to Charlie, when this happens it's Nick.
And Nick notices immediately that Charlie's like demeanor has completely changed. It's very sad. He just still getting triggered, you know? He's going through a lot. He is. He's. Been through a lot. The Sakey thing's not helping. No, no, it's not helping him eat his breakfast either. No, and Nick notices that Charlie isn't eating and he sweetly packs a croissant to go with Charlie later. So fucking cute.
And poor Charlie has to be back into his being outed phase because all anyone is doing is gossiping about this freaking Hickey. And so of course they think it's James, since he is the only other out gay. Because one gay plus one gay equals a Hickey. That's how that works. It's just gay math. You know, he could have just been practicing with the straight boy. Quote, UN quote a straight boy. The key though, is that poor Charlie, like from breakfast to
the bus, he's just very down. And he's got that, like downward intense glance that he keeps doing anytime he's having, like, bad thoughts. So like off the bat, if this isn't going to be a very bad mental day for Charlie, and this time when they get on the bus to go to the Louvre, this is when Ben purposely avoids Evigen and just it's like fuck it and he just like embraces his loner self. I just OK, no, they are. They're broken up at this point. Yeah, they're broken up at this point.
But he like, he doesn't even try to, like, reconcile. Nothing. No apologies, no nothing. To her, he's just like, fuck it, He's just like, I'm just gonna avoid you and pretend like he didn't exist, which is pretty fucked up because they were friends since childhood, according to Imogen. So like. Were they friends or were they just friendly? She used the word friends, but who knows like. Maybe she just feels so lonely that she's like, I'll take
anyone as my friend. And yeah, but like, I mean same with Ben. So like that bridge has been burnt forever basically, is what it seems like, you know? They they do need to separate. Like it's OK. I agree to be friends. I agree. And now they're back out in Paris again, Without supervision, of course. But no, they are supervised. They have supervision in the very beginning, but the teachers don't want to deal with them that long. So Charlie gets partnered up with James.
Well, Okay, so hold on. It's not just like we need to talk to you guys. This is like okay. We're here in Paris, and to fulfill the education requirement of you guys being here, we actually have to practice French. So I'm gonna give you a worksheet and you're gonna translate shit everybody's like, but it's like, listen, at the school sponsored event, you have to fucking do, let's just do it. You need a grade on something, right? But of course you can't just
like, do it by yourself. They have to do everything in pairs. So now we're pairing. Everybody up, because life is a team sport, I guess. It's a team sport. Get used to it. Charlie gets partnered up with James because you know the gays Hickey rumors. And Farook is just like I want drama. I he's living. He does. He does wants drama like he wants it. Like, he's just like I could. He could produce a reality show. Let's be good like he would.
He would be a hit. And Nick gets partnered up with Ben because, Oh my God, they are. Listen, that's like Farooq's default. He's like Nick plus Ben. Done. This is the first group he probably paired up. And then I used another big word that I don't usually use much to their shag. I can't even chagrin, but Mr. Farooq doesn't give a rat's ass about what they want. Yeah, because Ben immediately. It's like Ben.
I'm surprised he even did this. Ben was like, I don't want to be paired up with Nick. But he says it out loud in front of everybody, which is. Kind of weird. I don't give a Reds ass what you want. He's called a rude boy because he was rude to engine at the dinner. He's like, I don't give a fuck what you want. Rude boy. Get with the big rugby, idiot. So Farooq is definitely seeing these people for what they are. Absolutely. So maybe he's like, this is a puppy dog and this is an evil
ass dude. He's a puppy used to solve Jesus Caitlin going hard. There are no doubts about my feelings, I know, but Tara and Darcy are paired up together, so the lesbians are fine. Yeah, that's OK. That one's my favorite. The lesbians are fine for the most of the time in this show, but we'll get there. Yeah, butterflies. Butterflies. So you can't help but stare at Tao and the butterflies are going wild. They are let's OK.
And so I knew shit was about to go down with L and Tao when the butterfly that is on Tao's clothing, cuz he's got a black shirt with green butterflies. And when she looks over at Tao the exact same butterfly that is on his clothing and the exact same color flies across the screen and I was like that something big is gonna happen cuz butterflies are their thing. He's wearing fucking butterflies and the exact same one flies across towards Tau. So there's that.
I also wanted to say that when before we get to that gay, that not even gay, staring, head staring that happens with them, we get a shot of Elle's worksheet of like, what they're actually supposed to be doing. And actually, this lesson for all the groaning the kids do is actually pretty practical because it asks questions I feel like these kids would use. How much does it cost? Yeah, how much does it cost? Where do I get a map of the city?
There's one as my favorites. Could you take my photo? Which Tower already knew that one because somebody asked him in the last episode. So it was like actually kind of like conversation things that they could have actually used on the trip. So I they should have. Given that on the first day, yeah, I don't know why 2 days and we're doing this, but I think. This on the bus. I know it's pretty dumb, but anyway, I think it's actually helpful.
Then from there we do this pretty cool continuous shot of like everybody's like broken up into their pairs along this like lawn. And it's like this continuous shot that goes from like pair to pair. And they have their kind of discussions while they're working on the the worksheet. After we go so Tal and eller first and then we pan over to Sahara and Emma Jean and I
fucking love this. So first of all, the teachers paired them up because somebody can see the writing on the wall with these two and they're bantering is so fucking funny because neither of these bitches took French as a lesson. And so Emma just trying to fill this worksheet out and she shows it to Sahar and so hers. Like I don't even take French and I know this isn't correct. And images like I don't take French either. I don't like why are they paired up together? Teachers.
Shouldn't you know who takes French and who doesn't? And pair them up that way. But I want to know what Imogen wrote down. Me too. I just want to know. Yeah, it's just. But I love their banders. Funky, hilarious. That's all that happens with them. But they got paired up together. I'm saying hydrate for lesbian Jesus. I say. Tries to talk some sense into Harry figure, my gosh, yeah. So I think it's paired up with Harry. I know I love this. One and it's amazing.
Oh my God, it's. He's the most direct with Harry out of everyone. He's like, you need to stop being an asshole. Like, you need to, like, learn how to talk to people. Oh my God, I love that he's berating Harry while aggressively filling out the worksheet. So like, Harry's just, like lounging. I think is aggressively doing the assignment. He's like, you need Do you not understand that people have feelings, Harry? Do you ever, like, take other people's feelings?
Harry and Harry's just like nothing. They just sterilizing. Who's like doing the assignment and chastising him. And I fucking love it. I think it's hilarious. I just love that we get that side of Isaac. Like Isaac could be outspoken. But he just keeps he like, he's like when I need to I will say something liked how he supports his friends loudly. So James is paired up with Charlie like we said, and poor James is so worried Isaac is gonna think that the Hickey was
actually from him. And Charlie's like, don't worry, he definitely he won't think that. But then he's also like was it Isaac? And Charlie's like no. Which is like classic kid code for like I don't like you. I hope my crush knows that. Does my crush like you? And it's like, no. So I love that Charlie's like reassuring him.
He's like don't worry James, it wasn't Isaac and Isaac knows you like him don't worry about it. Also, may I say the way the gays keep matching is crazy, cuz James and Charlie are twinning when it comes to their shoes and they're both wearing the converse high tops. Just Charlie's got the yellow and then James has the black. But like, I love all the gaze or magic. I like James's outfit. Me too. I like that His jacket that like like green. It's really pretty is. That Aqua. Or maybe.
I can't really tell, but I love it, Darcy. Is still avoiding her feelings like the plague? Absolutely. And Tara gets so frustrated and upset. She just lets it go, OK. So I think during this conversation, so Tara tries to bring it up and then she's pretty forceful about it. Or she's like like Darcy's tries to like go off on the tangent about like, well, talent and talent. Elle's date was kind of a disaster and blah, blah, blah
and tars. Like that's not what I meant and you know it. I let's talk about the other day at True. Don't you remember that? And Darcy like straight up panics, like silently as Tara's like doing this. And so I think Darcy knows on some level that she can't avoid this topic forever with Tara. So instead of avoiding it this time, she does what Charlie did the other day. Straight up lies to her. She's like, yeah, I don't remember, I don't remember.
And poor Tara just looks so fucking crushed at the end of this. And she's like clearly, like trying to force a smile and be like, it's fine, we'll just do the assignment and forget about it. But I feel like it's getting harder, just like carry on, like everything is fine with these two. And I think they're both aware of that. Everyone just needs to stop lying. Yeah, it's hard talking and feelings are hard, Caitlyn. It is. It's hard.
I have no experience with that shit, but I can say it loudly. I can give people advice, I just don't know actually what I'm doing. It sums me up. Give great relationship advice despite never being in one. I just watch a lot of TV. Anyway, Ben is projecting all of his issues. On to Nick. It's pretty huge. Mmhmm. And blames Nick for ruining his life. Now Ben, I think he did pretty good job of that yourself.
Ben wants Charlie back, but he doesn't even deserve to be with The Rock. I wrote this a while ago. Yeah, he kind of doesn't. But like, OK, I love that Ben. I mean, it's this is classic Ben, right? Where he doesn't take responsibility for anything. So of course it's Nick's fault that both of his relationships, Charlie and Imogen, failed because as we saw in the other episode, Ben does not believe he's at fault because he he can't be at fault. It's all Imogen's fault.
So on Charlie's fault, well, actually, it's not Charlie's fault. Charlie is on a pedestal. It's Nick's fault because Nick broke them up. But Nick rightfully points out he's like, listen, you dated Imogen for popularity, points for bearding, and you didn't ever like Charlie. You just like the control you had over Charlie. That's all you want. But Ben is really persistent on his bullshit. And he's like, Charlie didn't even give me a chance to figure
my shit out. And then you came along and stole him from me. So that's how we've used Nick. He's like, Nick stole Charlie. It what? I didn't lose Charlie because I was abusing him. I was just, I was just trying to figure shit out. I was just trying to figure shit out and like, Charlie didn't give me enough time. And then you swooped in. It's all your fault. Like, again, it's it's been absolving himself of any responsibility.
And Nick is very much like, I see the writing on the wall like this is you just wanted what you wanted from Charlie, and you didn't even give a shit about Charlie's feelings. Like he talks about Charlie. Like he's an object, not a person. Just pretty fucked up. I stand by my he doesn't even deserve to be with a rock. Rocks deserve better. Therapist. Yes. And from here we're going to go to the Eiffel Tower, which I feel the need to tell you that
yesterday I call. I was trying to figure out the word for Eiffel Tower and the first thing out of my head goes the Paris wheel. Oh my God, no picking up a Ferris wheel. About his Paris wheel, put the Eiffel Tower. Alright, so I love that. Of course they don't get tickets for the lift, which Farook points out. He's like, God fucking damn, I got to up these damn stairs, these damn kids.
And so they're all like rushing to get up at their own various levels of rushing to get up these stairs like Charlie and Nick. Like Nick is like dragging drag, running Charlie up these steps. So but it's a fuck load of sets. So they get to the top and everybody like runs to the railing to like, look. And except Darcy, Darcy just
like collapses immediately. And it's just like laying there catching her breath while a bunch of people, some are trying to like, help her, some are just like whatever, she's just laying there. And then the teachers come by and the teachers like absolutely not. We're not doing this. Get the fuck up. The teachers did warn you guys to hide. The teachers did warn you guys to hydrate. So I'm gonna hydrate for lesbian Jesus right now. You always do that right after I take it, Drake.
Yeah, my bad. But anyway, so this Darcy moment was ridiculous. But also, I love the teachers. Like, no, absolutely not. We're not doing this. That would be me. That would definitely, I would have gotten yelled at for doing that, but. Meanwhile, the boys are on the edge of the Eiffel Tower. Not. Not like you know what I mean? Anyway, they get a selfie for Olivia Coleman. She's gonna love it. I just love that her name's Olivia Coleman. It is.
And a classmate mate who's like on the platform below them. Yeah, see them. And of course he, like he, has to have the balls to ask Nick if the Hickey was from. Yeah. He asked Nick, Just making sure I got the characters names right. The Hickey was from him. Nick gets a little bit of courage and asks what if it was he jealous? And it makes Charlie so unbelievably happy that hearts
shoot out of his head. It's so cute cuz like, here's Charlie getting a little glimpse of like, what it would be like to have boyfriend Nick out in public in Paris, which is really what he wanted. And Harry actually tells them to know. And that they have their own problems. Isaac is powerful. Yeah, Isaac talked shit. He got into Harry's head. But I love the dude's response at like, the dude that, like, called out to Nick and he's like, hey, Nick, was it you?
His response to Nick being, like, jealous? I was like, I'm not gay. And then Harry is the one who's like, shut up. Like after he says that, he's like, shut up, Come on, leave alone. Like, I love that Harry is growing and we love to see it, but but Harry growing seems really weird and Nick and Charlie are like, this is weird. That was weird. But I think the interaction gets into Charlie's head kind of a little bit because then he tries to like touch Nick's hand.
Instead, they do a little like hand touch. That's kind of secret. And then he's like, hey, you know, we probably shouldn't hang out. Just like that was pretty gay when you just said Nick like. What the fuck man? He's like, I am making you too gay in front of people, right? I love it. But like also this isn't helping your whole but not be out in public yet. I. Love that Charlie's like. People is going to assume it's you and Nick's like, you do know that it was me.
Oh my God, I love that part. And he's like, you know, it was me, right? So it's like Nick. It's like Nick is like constantly giving Charlie Nick signals about like the wanting to be out thing because he acts like they're out. You know what I mean? Without saying it to people. So it must be. Charlie, they have an electrifying moment. They do. As they should. Then Nick misses a call because he's too busy being gay from his dad and can't. Yeah, from his dad.
And then he calls him right back and his dad can't even bother to answer. Yeah, no. Like this whole thing is absolutely ridiculous because you see this shot of Nick's phone and it's like Dad called right now. So it's not like there was an old message that he's reading Papa, you know, that's his dad. And yeah, the fact that Nick calls back immediately, it rings once and then goes to voicemail like. Wow, it rings once. Oh my God, he just ignored him. Yeah, he ignored it. Like active.
That's even worse. I know it's super fucked up. So it's that to me, I was like red flags with Nick's dad. Like, what the fuck is that behavior? It's worse. This is worse than an exo Kitty. When Mino called his mom or Mino's mom calls him and he's like, hey mom, what do you want to talk about? And she's like, I don't have time to talk to you. And it's like, mom, you called me. This was worse because dad tried to call.
Nick calls back. Dad's like, oh, it's my son Voicemail. I'm like, you just called me and now suddenly you don't have time to talk to Nick? Like it's been 3 seconds. What the hell? What changed to three seconds? So fucked up. It's so frustrating. Let's head back to the ground though. Yeah, let's get off I. Don't like the heights up here? It's too scary. Let's get off the Paris wheel. So on the ground.
On the ground, OK. I have to note the very first scene of, like, everybody kind of like hanging out is like the cutest thing. Like the whole friend group is together in this one shot you have like, Nick taking a selfie of James with Darcy doing something that James's face and Isaac's watching. Then in the middle you have Li Think scrolling on her phone with Sahar and Tara and then like Imogen's kind of with them a little bit. So it's like Charlie's friend group is like adopting the
strays. That's what I'm getting from this, like Sahar and like James and a little bit of puppies. I love it. The power of Paris, I guess. Tao tells Charlie that he is the reason that Charlie was added last year. And that is huge news. And he was worried that Charlie was gonna hate him. But is it actually big news? Because Charlie didn't Charlie already know in the books? This one maybe? That's why I'm getting this one down differently in the book.
So yeah, it either way it was an accident. Like, basically what happened was either way, Tao and Isaac were talking about it and how loudly loves his friends and was talking loudly and somebody else overheard it and that's how it spread. So like Charlie did actually come out to him, to Tao and Isaac, like he chose to tell them. Then Isaac was having a then Tao was talking about it loudly with Isaac people over. Because he loves loudly. Because he loves loudly.
Exactly. So this all tracks in the show. Apparently Charlie didn't know that that's how it went down and he immediately is like how that's not your fault in the book, that is not how that went down. Charlie knew that this is how it spread, and there was bad blood between him and Tao because of this.
And so because this is how it went down when him and Nick were actually first started dating, Charlie hesitates for a really long time about telling Tao because he's like, I'm afraid the Tao's going to do the same thing and then Nick's going to get outed. So I I do like, I like the way they handled it in the show a lot better because it shows like the depth of Charlie and and how's relationship and it didn't have that extra drama to it. So I did like that.
But like that's kind of it's it's funny he says that because like those lines because I'm like, that's how it went out of the book. Charlie did hate him for this. Yeah. But here Charlie tells how it was an accident. And they have been friends since they were little. And Tao deserves love that that whole sentence doesn't make sense. Could you help me to code that? Basically, basically, here's
what happened. So they do a flashback of Tao Little Tao Little Charlie when they first met, and they bond over Radiohead, the band, which is very cute and adorable. And so Charlie basically is, after they kind of do that, Charlie's like, listen, you were the only person I even wanted to talk to that day. And he's basically like, talking Tao up. And Tao gives the line that I love where he's like, are you guilt tripping me into liking myself? And Charlie's like, you are a
good person that deserves love. And that's when he, like, does the lock thing. Yeah. So you were just summarizing that really quickly? Got it. Thank you. Yours better at my notes than I am. Charlie makes a lock for him and Tao and it's it's really cute friendship stuff because I believe like Tao is asking him if doesn't. I did not say the word lesbian mom. Why? When you say lesbian, I'm supposed to come in.
That's what happened yesterday. I'm sorry, I know this is a side note, but is this supposed to be watermelon? Yes, it's good. Do you see this? Is it a yellow watermelon? How is there a yellow watermelon? I think that is a thing. OK. It's a type of watermelon. Sorry for the interruption. That's a lot of watermelon. That is and it was very weird. Just give it to me. I also cannot eat nowhere. I was just going to say you can't even eat that, OK? Evenly supposed to be eating, so
that's not protein. Whatever. Anyway, sorry guys, hope you like the detour. So the lock. Anyway, So yeah, the lock thing. I think this is again, another purposeful way that Alice is trying to actually, this is for the show. I think they're trying to show like, again, the power of friendships not And romantic loves aren't everything cuz like the lock basically is like a tradition thing you do in Paris.
I forget what it dates back to but basically it's like lovers put their initials on a lock and they like lock it I don't know to some bridge now it's like other places because they like collapse the bridge by doing this because of the weight. But like it's the thing you do in Paris to be like our Love's
unbreakable. They collapse the bridge I think where they first where people first originally started to do it. There were so many people that did it that they collapsed whatever the structure was because there's too much weight on it. So they had to like there's new regulations and how you do that now but it doesn't matter. But the message here that it says Charlie and Tao on it is that friendships are meaningful, if not more meaningful than romantic ones.
And I love they show this with the walk, because no matter what will happen in their dating lives, Tao and Charlie's friendship is stronger and will outlive that because they've been friends since they were kids. It's still going strong. They still support each other. And I think that's something that, you know, Alice is trying to drive home, that it's like often, like romantic love is the
thing that's centered. But like platonic friendships could be more important sometimes than the romantic ones, you know? So I love that they're they're showing how strong their friendship is with that lock thing. Before we go to the Louvre, I have a few things to say about the Paris wheel. Okay okay. So the Eiffel Tower. I looked into filming there. So I don't have like the exacts written down unfortunately, because I was too busy making
sure we summarize the episode. But I believe there are like they can film at anytime, they just are like separated slightly. I don't know if there's like two different sides of the Eiffel Tower or what, but one of the things that I learned that it might be common knowledge, but I didn't know it at the time, was you cannot take a photo of the Eiffel Tower at night because it. You could take a photo during the day and it's not copyright, but if you take it at night, it is copyrighted.
Is that kind of like the light? Installation, just like installation, is what caused it to be copyright and so now you get like explicit permission. So like those movies I believe. Was it Spiderman? I know Adam Sandler's movie. Film there the the mystery, murder, mystery two or something like that, I don't know. And they filmed in the middle of the night there and they had to pay a lot because it was like night time as well. So, well, that's interesting.
No wonder they keep showing it during the day during the show. Yeah. So if you see, they had to have gotten permission. If you see the Eiffel Tower at night at all, anywhere, fascinating. I think they did it in like a oh, Devil Wears Prada or whatever. Probably when they went to like a fashion show in Paris. I think they did like the Overshot at night with the the lights going crazy on it. I really hate those lights. I think it's stupid. I don't think I could never be there.
Anywho, that's interesting. I didn't know that. Yeah, because we were talking about in the reaction video how like they might have been doing it like early in the morning or like at the end of the day where people weren't there, but I somehow they can keep it separate. Yeah. I was just wondering. I wasn't wondering because there's no people. I'm like, I'm pretty sure they rented it out to film this because it's definitely on the Eiffel Tower.
But it was just where the sun was positioned with Nick and Charlie up on the Eiffel Tower. Like, I was like the sun is actually pretty low. Like it looks like it's just rising. So I was like, how early did they have to get up in the morning to come to the Eiffel Tower? Because, like, it seems like they're there at like 7:00 in the world. Like, stupidly early. Well. Do you think Farooq wants to deal with children, more children and people? No, I know.
I was just. I was just trying to put a timeline together in my head. It does, It doesn't matter. But no, Farooq does not want to deal with people. So let's wheel our way to the Louvre. Did you learn anything about filming at the Louvre? No, but I know that they didn't fill most of those at the Louvre. Interesting. They filmed it in London. OK.
Is they do great. I wonder if they did a green screen with that where L and Tower where you could like see the iconic, like I think some of it might have been there, but they did like interior, other interior shots. Someone went to like places around London and like had a photo of it and like just put it like exactly where they were. Interesting. Cool. That is really cool, but I forget the museum's name.
Unfortunately my the first thing, but at least I noticed in the Louvre, is that Darcy is not using proper museum etiquette. Or it's not, and is so upset by the hype for the Mona Lisa. It's just like that's it. And I feel like that is a common reaction though, to people I did like. I was like, taught in high school that it was like in a box, kind of and like very far away. You can't even get close to it. So I wasn't surprised by. I mean, I didn't see it in person, but I would have had the
poor people. You teach Darcy about the real world. Like, Darcy's not paying attention. And some of this is on. That's fair. You know that is fair. Elle gets distracted by Art and Tal gets distracted by Elle. True love, yeah, and Nick is doing the straights work to get Elle and Tal back together. I love his conversation with Elle. I think it's so cute. They naturally, like end up on the staircase looking up at like some of the like paintings on the ceiling.
And I love the dialogue they have when they're doing that. Where Nick says I don't really think I understand any of the art. But it's nice to look at. And also you don't have to understand it to enjoy it. And they kind of keep talking and the ending sentiment is. What Nick says, he's like, it's like life. You don't have to understand your feelings completely to know that you like something. And I feel like anybody who's questioning Isaac needs to hear that because it's true.
Like, I think we put a lot of stock on, like defining things and labeling things and sorting things into boxes. But like, at the end of the day, like, you don't have to understand shit or you don't even have to understand yourself to, like, enjoy your feelings, you know, I think it's a good lesson. I like that I'm admiring the art right now. I've never been. I would like to go to the balloon of one day.
So what I'm learning from all of this is that your wife needs to take you to Paris. I mean, we were gonna go next year, but we're not gonna go now. Someday. Someday. OK. No, not the time, Caitlin. We're going to go to Ellen Tao and they happily go off on their own and run all over, which also seems. Like against. Museum etiquette, the amount of children that are just running around unsupervised in this museum, in this priceless museum is really unsettling.
Like, I feel like, wouldn't they have gone over this in the Paris meeting? Remember when they all went to true Him? And that's they are too focused on their roommates. That was the first thing they did. The first thing they did was pick roommates. But was what was the rest of the meeting? Did they not say, hey, no running in the Louvre? Like I feel like that hadn't have been said at least once by Mr. Farooq and nobody has
listened. There's so much they haven't like talked about food or something right before it then and like everyone was just distracted by food that that's that's in my head, that's what happened. It's. Terrible. But yeah, there's way too much of running in this museum to be OK And unfortunately, Nick and Charlie run into Ben while they say. And Charlie looks visibly smaller when he is around and. This poor kid.
Yeah. He's like this is like Charlie Trigger day like it started off bad Charlie trigger days. Charlie Trigger week. But like, it's particularly bad this day. Like. Before breakfast, during breakfast, on the bus. And here we are in the Louvre and he's getting triggered again. And when Ben walks away, Nick tells Charlie what happened earlier when it was just Ben and
Nick having a conversation. And he's like, yeah, so he still, like, wants to get back with you and Charlie, like, is like, yeah, that's not gonna happen. There's no way in hell. And cue the Taylor Swift song. We are never, ever, ever getting back together. So Charlie should. Have signed Ben that song on Instagram, and maybe he'd get it, but, you know, whatever. But what I find interesting about this conversation is that Nick looks like when Charlie says it, Nick looks relieved.
To hear this like, a wonderful part of him was kind of like worried Charlie might still kind of have feelings for Ben on some level, even though, like Ben was obviously terrible. But it's kind of the same thing we're like. That irrational fear where like Charlie was like, oh, I'm so jealous of Tara because she liked Nick, even though that was never going to happen. I think that this would, like Nick had the same feeling towards Ben a little bit based
on his reaction here. I mean, because Ben has a history of just like, taking what he wants. Totally, yeah. Just master manipulator and Charlie's clearly not OK. Like, yeah, no, poor Charlie is going through it today. And this is when you see his head start to become fuzzy and there's like white on the sides of the screen and I'm assuming it's because he hasn't eaten it. Absolutely is. Low blood sugar.
That is 100% what is happening. And so it's kind of show that he has like his tunnel vision, he's getting tunnel vision and also like the music and the sound starts distorting, which to me makes it sounds more powerful. So it's not just that like the vision sense, like all of Charlie's senses are getting like. Diminished. And after Charlie starts having it, like kind of shakes it off and follows Nick, we go over to where Darcy and Tara and Darcy
was like back on her bullshit. And she's like posing in front of statues, like strangely, while it's Tara's like making Tara laugh and they're taking selfies. And as Tara's kind of taking this photo using Darcy's phone, Darcy gets a text from her mom. And Tara's like, oh, your mom texted you. And immediately, Darcy's playful
face is gone. It has left the Louvre and there's just like panic on her face and she grabs the phone from from Tara. As per usual, though, there is no context to any of this, so Tara's just like, OK, and Darcy just deals with it. And then it's like, let's go to the next statue and just like tries to keep going. Just I just want Darcy to be happy forever and ever and ever. I know. And she'll get there. And I think Tara does too. And and but she's again, she's
super frustrated by this. And so that's when she starts, you know? Yeah, Tara asking Darcy, she hasn't met Darcy's parents. And basically she forces Darcy to listen to her concerns because Darcy needs to listen too. Yes. No, she. Does Tara's like I have never been to your house? I've never met your parents. Do you even have parents? Like you know she's like I don't know anything about you who are you correct and. I think that's what Darcy I think that's what Darcy's
hearing. She's like, who am I like? Because you know, as we know, she's like it has a split life. She's one person at school and she's another person at home. And like Tara is like getting too close to home. Darcy and Darcy's like, no, no, no, no, This can't happen because you're not going to love me and. Who would love me? My parents don't even love me like it. Just she's like, it's like panicking is what it is. I don't. I just justice for Darcy. Yeah, at home Olivia she like.
Tries to start she tries to start like making excuses here and and to Tara's credit she's like I'm done. She's like, no, she's like, you know that's like the I love you thing comes back up again and Darcy's like, well, you were just, it was casual. You didn't really mean it and and to her's like, you know that I do. Like, you know that I do. And I and the way Darcy's face just kind of like falls, Like, I think this is where it really sinks in for her that like the shoot with Tara is real.
And like she's going to have to do something about this because like she really can't run forever from it. Like Tara is being very real with her. And Darcy is just like, it's very clear to her that she just, she doesn't know what to do with this, like, at all. That's the heavy stuff, man. It. Sure is. And things are about to get heavier. Yeah, especially for Nick. Because Charlie passes out, but luckily Nick is there to catch him, which is why it's heavier for him.
Yeah, and what I love about the the way this happens, it's the same in the in the graphic novel too. I think that like Charlie gets like the white on the edges of the of the frame, like he gets tunnel vision and all he can see is Nick. And all the sounds start distorting again before he like falls. I like the way they shot it though. It's pretty cool, yeah. I mean it definitely it it was very clear of what they were trying to do.
Yeah, exactly. And from there we jumped to Tao and L Tao has butterflies on his shirt, so obviously something is gonna happen with him and L and. It sure does. Thank you, Theora. Theor always points out the butterflies for me, so I just want to make sure that everyone knows that that line was only because Theora told me that before Ella shuts Tao up by kissing him and then promptly freaks out as one does. Tao goes after her though, instead of just standing there and kisses her again.
Relief and love wash over them even if they don't know what they are doing. But now we get huge butterflies. Oh my God, let's talk about a metaphor. So warm. I love it. I love that this is their first kiss because they are both in their element. Like the way it leads up is just the cutest. So they're just kind of alone in this room and they're like looking out the window at like the iconic, kind of like the glass pyramids on the Louvre.
And they're just. Looking and Elle is just so inspired by how beautiful this place is that she's like, I really want to draw right now. And how I was like, you should do it. I love watching you draw. And she starts drawing and then he looks out the window at the same thing she was looking out and he's like, huh, It would be amazing to film here. Like there's something so
beautiful about this place. So I love that they're in this place and they both can appreciate the beauty of this, of the Louvre. And it inspires them to get in their own artsy kind of moods. And that's when Elle's just like, yes, this is the towel that I love. And then she just kisses him while he's like planning a movie, basically because this is everything their first date was missing. Because this is a mutual activity they both love. Yeah.
Yeah, I could see. I'll like doing the illustrations for a book and then a towel making it into a movie. Thank God that's gonna be their future. Other element that I really love about their first kiss is the realism of it, because it's presumably their first time kissing anybody like both of them. And so I love Tao's. Like, I don't know how to do this. And I was like, yeah, me neither.
Did they really not kiss before? I I like, I I don't know, but I'm assuming because they're both admitting I don't know what I'm doing like, but they're just acting on how they feel, right? Which goes back to Ellen Nick's conversation, where Nick's where they're basically like you don't have to know everything to like, know you how to act on your feelings, basically.
And that's what they're doing. But yes, more of this because I'm so fucking tired of American high school crap that just portrayed teenagers as being romantically and sexually experienced people when they're like 15. And, like, that's not reality. And that's not the case for so many people. And so at that age, like, it works like this where you're just trying to figure out how to talk to your crush and you're Googling how to ask somebody
out. And then you're trying to figure out how to kiss them as you're kissing them. And nobody knows what they're doing. But you both like each other, so it doesn't matter. So I love that this was portrayed in such a freaking realistic way, like their whole thing from start to finish with like the first awkward date. And I just all of it like. This is exactly what like your first crush in high school is
like. It's not like it's it's often portrayed in American TV shows, which is no American TV shows are zero to 100 really quickly. Yeah, but like, it's like, in no way, shape or form do these two people who have never dated anybody ever before act like this. What we're watching on screen, like in America, it's so unrealistic. This is what it's actually like. And I I like the realism here. It's ridiculous, but back with the teachers he Thank you for the screenshot.
I love what they're doing. They're really doing exactly what Kara and Darcy were doing. That's what they're doing. And so, like, the art teacher coaxes Mr. Farooq into like, posing, like posing, like the painting. And it's it's cute. Like, he's getting Farooq to, like, loosen up and open up. And it's very cute. And they keep bonding until they are told that Charlie passed out. Yeah, this is teenagers running
all over the place again. Yeah, this is like the adult interrupt, the adult version of the interruptions where like the kids are trying to kiss and like somebody interrupts but like they're just like low key flirting and then the kids are like there's a medical emergency and like teachers gotta go. Damn it, there is a lot of running in this. Oh my God, there's so much fucking running in this priceless museum. It's ridiculous. You would think they'd have, like, sides.
No running if they did it before. They definitely do now. You'd think there'd be guards in the museum who are like, stop running. I mean, it happens with Charlie and Nick later, but like, it doesn't happen with anybody else who's running in this museum. It's just wild. OK. And then I have to tell you a story. OK, so like basically that messengers go to get the teachers and then they go to run back to Nick and Charlie.
So let me cut over to Nick and Charlie and like, Darcy and somebody else and Charlie's coming too. And he's like, what happened? And Nick is telling him, well, you passed out and Darcy says, but don't worry, your boyfriend caught you, which also like guys, you're in a public place. They're not out. Why would you use that word catch? That, yeah, Why would you do that? But I have to tell you how this went down in the book because it's even it's funnier the way
Darcy did this. So. So basically she's like in the book, she's like, well, at least your boyfriend caught you. I passed out one time and I fell in a pool. And Tom keeps this conversation going with Darcy, like in the background of the the the frame in the graphic novel, while like Charlie and Nick are having a serious conversation and and. And Darcy's like, yeah, well, like, I had a beanie and I couldn't see anything. And Darcy's like, why did you have a beanie on if you were at
a pool party? Like, it was like this. It was like the most Darcy thing ever. So, like, basically like, she's at a pool party in summer with a beanie on her head and it slipped. She couldn't see. She fell in the pool. But it wasn't tarry. Like, why the fuck were you wearing a beanie? It's the most darzy thing ever. It's like you try to relate to trying conversations in the
background. Yeah, it was the side conversation that was having, but like the most ridiculous scenario that she's like, don't worry Harley, I've been there. But it's like the scenario is so dumb. I love it. Now that the Darcy is done by being Darcy, I. Know I love it. You're wearing a beanie at. A ball party. I love that line for Dar. It's so funny, but it's time for a sandwich at the museum. That's it's it's, you know, the prequel to Night at the Museum. Yeah.
So they eat a sandwich. Mr. Oh my God. I tried to get Charlie to eat something, basically, because they're like, that's probably why you passed out. So let's give you something. They don't know that. That's why. But like, no they do. The interesting part is that when so the art teacher sitting down or not sitting down, he's standing there talking to Nick, talking to Charlie. And Nick are sitting down at the table and he says he's trying. He's saying what happened.
And then Charlie Interesting admits out loud he's like. I didn't eat enough today. Like he does say it to the teacher while Nick's sitting next to him. Then Mr. Farooq comes over, passes him a baguette. I guess he got from a vending machine or something. I don't know. I want that same much. I don't know where he got it and. He slides it over to Charlie. I love that that's where you
think it came from. No. Like they do have vending machines that sell stuff like that in like Italy and things like that. So it could have been. And so he slides it over to Charlie, and then Farooq, like, sits down. And like they like knuckle bump or something. And then literally 5 seconds later the Art Teacher's like, let's go. Why did he said that? Just like that sound. Like I left going to get the they did so many things that he is like, you know, screw this,
I'm sitting down when I can. These knees are not what they used to be. Man no. For real? And then Nick starts talking to him and you can tell that Charlie has a lot of anxiety and he just starts picking at his skin like under his sweaters, so. Like, Oh yeah, it's so. And before and before he gets into it immediately, Charlie's like, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Like his a reflex is to just be like, I'm sorry for being, for being broken, basically. And I love that.
Nick's like, no. And then he takes his hand under the table and he's like no like. I you have nothing to be sorry about. Like I just, I want to understand what's going on with you, you know? But so Charlie opens up saying that he doesn't eat all the time. So, like, he feels like he can control something because he doesn't feel like he's in control of a lot, which I mean, I feel like a lot of people feel
like that, unfortunately. And Nick tells him to talk to him about stuff like this when it happens because of course he really cares about him and and then he pulls out the croissant that he brought for him instead of like the baguette. So like, he's like, eat the croissant. I brought it for a reason. And it's adorable that Charlie tries the croissant before the sandwich, even though he got the sandwich first first. It's really cute.
What's interesting too, about Charlie when he's talking about? The eating disorder stuff that he's like, he's like, I have good days and I have bad days and he's like, but on the bad days I feel like I need to control it by it being eating. And he says I used to do that a lot last year. So again, it all comes back to that trauma from being outed and Charlie's having those feelings again.
And so because when he was outed, he was outed out of his control and his whole life was turned upside down, out of his control, so like. Eating disorders happen a lot when people can't control bad things that are happening in their lives, but they're like food is something I can control, I'll control that. It'll is a as a way to like get my life back kind of thing. And that's exactly what Charlie
is doing. And Charlie, I I I can guarantee season three, we're going to get into his cheating disorder stuff because this is where his plotline was always headed. Because when Alice wrote Solitaire. Charlie was in the depths of his eating disorder stuff when that book started. So like, it was always going here. And Charlie develops a really unhealthy relationship with food. But it's it's really stemming from the the PTSD of being outed
against his like control. And I want to know, too, in this conversation, like when basically, like, before Nick pulls out the croissant, I'm pretty sure Nick almost says I love you in the scene because he's going on and on about how he wants to help Charlie. Like, he's like, look, I'm not trying to change you. I'm not here to make you apologize like I'm your boyfriend. I just want I'm going to be here for you.
And he says, I'm your boyfriend, Charlie and I, he trails off, has this really sharp intake of breath, and he's like, like, he caught himself before he said something. He's like, I really care about you. I'm pretty sure he almost let that slip right in the scene. I mean, it's accurate, so it absolutely is. But I was like, oh, what you gonna say, Nick? What you gonna say? But now it's time for Charlie to find out that Nick is fluent in French. I learned that he does actually have a dad.
He's very impressed. Not about the dad, about the French thing. Yeah. So they go to see the statues and like, Nick takes the phone call and from his dad, because his dad finally fucking Dane to call him back and he like, turns away to like, take this phone call and Charlie is just like your dad. And then Nick just starts going off in French and just his face. It's the happiest I've ever seen Charlie. He's just like, this is really hot. What the fuck? And I love that when it's over,
Nick's like, do you like that? I speak French? And Charles like, no, not at all. And then Nick just is like, you're into this and he like, leans head first into this and he's like Mon Amour. It starts flirting with them in French, but then then they start like, he's like holding him and I don't know what they're doing, but they're like toppling to the ground. And then the security guard is like, this is way too gay. You guys need to fucking. Stop this.
He's like, what is that in here? Get this gayness out of the statue center. So they run away. So they start running away. So they run the fuck away, OK, but they're running away in the seat is ridiculous because they run towards the guard and they, like run towards him. They take the stairs next to this guard instead of like running out, like they ran towards the man who was yelling
at them. It was so weird, but they like full on run through this entire display, which like there's just so much running in the Louvre in this episode, it's crazy. But either way, I feel like Charlie should not be running after passing. No, there's no way a baguette solved that. He shouldn't be running for sure, and I feel like the whole school should get kicked out of the Louvre for all the running they're doing here. It's just so much. Yeah, there's a lot.
I think there's more running in this than a rugby game. I agree. So basically, Nick is like starting to feel a little more brave is like, I kind of want to introduce you to my dad. And Charlie's like all for it. And he's like, when does your dad want to meet? And Nick goes. Well, he wants to be 20 in 20 minutes at a cafe. Like, no like bitch, you gotta leave 10 minutes ago. What do you mean? And they happily go off together to meet him holding hands
because they are gay, OK? They don't just go together that they run holding hands, which my wife pointed out, that's a really ineffective way to run when you're holding somebody's hands because you can't pump your arms like you normally would. So it's actually slower to do that, but they were just trying to be gay like you said. Yeah, I have a side note that Paris's subway system is fairly easy to learn and get around. That's great. More public transportation in the world, please.
I have a side note. So when they run to the train platform the last, I love the last couple of scenes, which is like them holding hands on the subway platform and in the subway, when they get, like when they get onto the train itself. Because Charlie's face, Charlie's face, he looks so happy here. Like not as happy as when Nick was speaking French, but like really happy. And I think this is in this, this is the moment. I think this is the thing that Charlie wanted, right?
Because they're holding hands in public and they get on the train just holding hands. That's PDA in public. And Nick's happy, and he doesn't even notice. So I think Charlie is getting a little taste of really what he really wanted Paris to be, which is I just get to be out with my boyfriend. And everybody knows this is my boyfriend. And, like, I think he's really happy because he gets that in this little teeny tiny scene. Like, none of the schoolmates are looking at them.
They're just existing together as boyfriends in Paris, and no one's hide and they don't have to hide it. And I just love that. I love Charlie. I think is the happiest I've seen him and like on the subway platform, but unless you have something the 518 side note, just do it. Side side note.
If you're going to take public transportation in Paris, these two need to be careful cuz they have backpacks on The pickpocketers are ridiculous in Paris and like to the point where they will announce it on the overhead speakers like in the subway when they see someone doing it. So wow, that's wild. Yeah, you like you. You'll see a lot more people wear the backpack in front of them there. That makes sense.
But they don't care not to end this on pickpocketers because the last scene okay this scene confused me the first time I said so they get on the subway. They get on the train and then the two trains like crisscross across the platform and okay when and then okay so they're crisscrossing. And I thought the first time I watched this because this is where my brain goes. I'm like, is Ben going to be on the platform looking sad like? What's what I thought was going
to happen? I'm like they're setting this up for like the killer to be like on the platform. The. Killer on the platform, You know, like it gave me vibes like mystery thriller vibes. And I was like, OK, and then Ben's not there. And then when I was rewatching it to make these notes, I found the birds. The birds show up the lovebirds from like season one. That we were trying to figure
out. They're on the train so like Charlie and Nick are free, they're flying away with their love and I think there's little leaves too coming down from them. Yeah. Oh and they're like they're they definitely made that because the yeah leaves that is no that is hurt stopper that is not Harris. It says something in French and I don't know what it. I'm looking it up. I know you are. I can hear you typing. Sorry. That's OK. I don't know what it said.
Oh, that might be an L not A TI think that's definitely, you know, their volley. Rise away. Aww. Because the little babies are flying away to be on their own and be happy because leaves mean true selves. That's why they're all happy. Thank you for that little gem. So. And that is. Heat. Was it hot enough for you? I mean, I think the hottest it got was Nick witnessing. I mean, Charlie witnessing Nick speak French. Because that was all that was
going on in his brain. He's like, passing out today. Worth it for this. Let's be real. So I will pass out every day to hear every day talk to me like this, French. But yeah, I mean, this episode. I mean, Heavy would have been another name for this episode, because the feels were pretty heavy for not just Nick and Charlie, but everybody. And I love that towel. And Al finally got their shit together and got their dry butterflies like they deserve. Butterfly.
But if that way. Now, if you know that song, comment below because you'll make my heart happy. You have to be around my age, though, because no one else is gonna know that. Yeah, so that's a truth from Caitlyn. So if you truthfully know that song, write it in the comments. Is the next episode called Truth OK, Truth, Yes it is. I'm just like, there's a reason.
