We always knew Joanne and Noah were headed for this conflict.
Well, folks, Rabbi Cohen walks into Noahs office and completely blows up his life.
He tells him that he just learned that its actually pronounced Zen-day-a and not Zen-dye-a.
Its mostly the second thing that blows up his life.
Not all hope is lost: Rabbi Cohen reminds Noah that Joanne could always convert.
He suggests talking to her about Judaism but starts with the fun stuff, obviously.
Unbeknownst to him, Noahs timing isnt great.
Shes proud of herself, too.
Im so glad were adults, she says to Noah.
This all sounds healthy and good, right?
Youre changing everything about yourself, she tells her.
We used to make fun of girls like you.
She would never change for a guy.
Shes taking a stand at the exact moment Noah is going to ask her to change her entire life.
While Joanne is trying to be more herself, Noah is not-so-subtly trying to hype up Judaism.
My guy is working hard!
But dont sleep on Sasha: Hes working hard, too.
Sasha is a national hero; protect this man at all costs.
She confronts Noah, holding back tears.
The guy is blindsided.
He definitely hasnt been texting with her because they miss each other so much.
He would never do that, he tells her.
Hell even let her check his phone to prove it.
Hey, maybe change isnt always bad!
Its kind of nice to watch a character grow before your eyes.
She marches over to her sisters place, furious.
The two get into a huge fight.
Joanne says that Morgan is lying to her to mess with her relationship because shes never supported it.
He doesnt want me to change!
she yells at her, which, like, shell probably regret doing in about twenty minutes.
The whole thing ends with a bunch of fuck-yous and door slams and its honestly pretty intense.
What about the podcast, guys?!
Does anyone care about that plot point anymore?
This is the moment Noah decides to ask her if shed ever consider converting.
On one hand: Now?!
On the other: Its probably smart to bite the bullet before this thing gets out of control.
I dont know, he responds honestly.
Wheres Sasha with his terrible (perfect) New York accent when you need him?
