An A+ doofus brother performance if there ever was one.

We havent known Sasha that long, but I think this might be the greatest night of his life.

His perfect night is interrupted, though, when Miriam comes busting through the door with a boy problem.

Hes honestly not that bad.

Hes a national hero in his house.

The story line ends on a nice little button, too.

Its very cute, and its nice to see a different side to their relationship.

This Sasha story line, of course, is not the headliner of the episode.

Did Noah just text his friend the eggplant emoji like some sort of safe-sex bat signal?

Does this grown man have any other job other than friendly condom supplier?

hey tell me more!

This could be a serious relationship theres something bigger going on here.

Sasha and Condom Guy remain unconvinced.

Joanne is headed into this date with the exact opposite desire.

Is Morgan actively sabotaging her sisters relationship or subconsciously doing it?

Joanne is already talking about Noah as if hes the one, but she barely knows him.

She gives her sister some tough love: Shes acting like a psychopath.

If she wants to keep Noah around, she needs to be chill, casual, fun.

You see where the problem may lie once Joanne and Noah meet up?

This date goes off the rails immediately.

A perfect vibrator name, to be honest.

This is not an in-and-out (not that way) sex shop visit, though.

Noahs trying to forge a deeper connection.

This is not a good look for the rabbi, especially if his boss finds out.

Joanne and her stalking skills are here to save the day.

That was not Mrs. Goldberg.

Mr. Goldberg will want to keep this little meeting just as much a secret as Noah does.

Its a bummer for the real Mrs. Goldberg, but our guy is very relieved.

Keep up the good work, Rabbi Cohen tells him.

With dinner plans ruined, Noah takes Joanne back to his place and whips something up for them.

She is very impressed.

Again: Are our bars too low?

Even more impressive: Noah isnt scared to be upfront about his feelings.

He noticed that Joanne got a little weird when he asked about her fears.

I felt that, she responds.

I mean, when you asked me my biggest fear in the sex shop, that felt weird.

But what Noah means, of course, is that she didnt seem interested in connecting.

Now its Joanne whos relieved.

Shes relieved not to feel like a psycho for taking this new relationship so seriously.

And then shes ready to open up about her biggest fear.

Well, sort of ready.

She does need to turn around so she isnt looking Noah in the face when she says it.

Shes impulsive and obsessive and, yes, does some really weird shit.

Friends, I gasped.

What a fucking line!!

I mean, I think hes quite sincere, but holy shit, I had to stand up.

I dont know; Im sweating.

Im also so grateful these two finally take this show to the bedroom.

It was about time they got laid.

We all needed it!

It didnt scare him off.

Im actually really into it, he adds.

And isnt that what everyone wants?

Someone who is down with your brand of crazy?
