Jean Milburn has never been perfect.

She learned all the tools, so she thinks she can do it alone.

But no one can.

And yet she still thinks shes above it.

What brings on the realization is an argument with Otis that feels brutal even for them.

Why are you suddenly acting like a parent?

She needs to take care of herself to take care of her kids.

Also, Joanna is still around.

Jeans most important relationship on the show is with her son, and their scenes together remain her strongest.

Their unpleasant fight wouldnt have happened without the multiple Ls Otis takes earlier that day, of course.

But I like that the show uses an unfair comparison to nonetheless highlight the fact that Otiscanbe sexist.

But it quickly backfires when she owns up to her mistakes and comes out as asexual.

O leaves with more support than ever while Otis gets canceled.

Maeve has had a bad day too one that was spent arranging an intimate funeral for Erin.

She also receives shocking news from Aimee: She and Isaac like each other!

Her initial reaction, a few stunned bursts of laughter, is pretty funny and benign.

Its clear that both Otis and Maeve need their first official date tonight to be great.

The distractions shes seeking out are temporary.

(He got in a motorbike accident, which tracks.)

It gives Maeve the perfect excuse to get drunk with her, putting Otis in an uncomfortable position.

Eventually, theyre kicked out for throwing popcorn, and Maeve takes Otis to the abandoned Moordale Secondary School.

Its at that point that theyre discovered by the cops and Otis is forced to call his mom.

After three and a half seasons,thisis when Jean and Maeve finally meet.

Maeve and Otis arent the only couple from Moordale out on the town that night.

Cal and Aisha share a meaningful moment afterBrief Encounterwhen Cal asks why Aisha didnt request subtitles for the screening.

But they also remind Aisha that she has a right to ask for things.

Its a sweet sentiment.

Viv and Beaus date, on the other hand, is a bit more complicated.

The scene ends on a happy note with Viv and Beau admitting theyre falling for each other.

Its through the people we love that we often come to understand who we are.

All the Good Things and the Bad Things That May Be

Is that the chile sauce?

Yeah, peri-peri for the peri-perimenopause.

Michael wants to get back together with Maureen, but shes opposed to it for the time being.

Its a great moment visually, too, with Eric getting enveloped by light.
