Episode description

In a high performance episode, the Carlos and Skip talk about ridiculous scenes: blow-up costume frogs vs. ICE agents in Portland and the equally ridiculous performance male. What's really the deal with that "Chad" in the cardigan spouting on about equality, but who leans on his partner for the cleaning, cooking, and child-care? Good guy or good act?

Plus, as always, the boys fall in love and share their joys for the week.
