Plot[]
Maeve has to deal with her mother asking her to babysit her half-sister. Later on, she helps the quiz team win their match, but they ask her to leave after she proves incapable of collaborating. And then she ends up confessing her feelings to Otis, which goes incredibly badly, because Otis had done his best to move on from his own crush for her.
Otis shuts her down, but later when he and Ola are on the verge of taking off their pants, a very badly timed text from Maeve shuts things down. Later, Ola tells Otis that he has to stop spending time with Maeve.
Jean’s love life also hits a snag with the unexpected return of her ex-husband Remi, who claims to be just dropping by to visit Otis, but ends up crashing Jean and Jakob’s night in. Jean’s already feeling a bit nonplussed by Jakob’s presence in her life, and she subsequently gets drunk with Remi, and shares a kiss with him before getting interrupted by Otis coming home.
Otis’ new client is Florence, who’s playing Juliet opposite Jackson’s Romeo, but Lily is displeased by her performance because “this is a play about horny teenagers, and I don’t believe you want to have sex with him at all.” Otis tells Florence that it’s okay if she’s just not ready, and that she’ll eventually meet the right person.
However, Jean has settled into her new role as school sex adviser, and her day is filled with students asking questions. Making her understand just how badly her services are needed. Florence decides to get counseling from Jean, and through her discovers she is asexual.
Lily criticizes Jackson’s acting, and so Jackson turns to Viv for more help. Initially, she tells him no, but then they strike a deal: She coaches him through Romeo’s monologues, and he’ll help her “get jiggy” with Dex, her quiz-team crush.
Adam lures Eric out in the middle of the night for some fun — specifically, smashing pottery in a local junkyard. The next day Rahim asks Eric to become boyfriends.
