Do you find this surprising?
But no, thats just Freds way, and both he and Susan seem quite happy.
Joel couldnt be more thrilled for his friend.
Joel loves love and loves that Fred has so clearly found it and thinks that Susan is pretty great.
That thing about Susan helping Fred tie his shoes every day?
Sam, quite clearly, is put out of sorts.
Its a super fun time.
Maybe she worries it means shell be seeing less of Fred after just getting him back from his sabbatical.
She just lost her sister, and now shes going to lose Fred, too?
We know from last season that Sam closed herself off to most people.
Joel seems to recognize this about Sam, at least to a certain extent.
Youre gonna be all sweet to me when Im being a cunt?
Kind of ruins my thing, she tells him.
At least shes self-aware.
She might not be enthusiastic, but she is supportive.
Of course, they do.
Sam doesntdoAve Maria or any music full of sweet little notes.
She stresses about this to Joel while the two are shopping for Fred at the sex toy store.
Resolved to sing the song for Fred and Susan, Sam comes up with a plan: Singing lessons.
Youre just there, like a creep.
The whole situation is bleak as hell.
At least Sam has Joel?
Although, honestly, maybe having a witness only worsens the whole thing?
An already awkward situation made even more so by this guy and his gusto for opera music.
So did I, she responds, I think I just wet my pants.
This doesnt stop Sam from her mission.
But the adventure has only just begun, friends.
And what an adventure it is for all of us.
This delicacy, made by none other than Brad, is known as St. Louis sushi.
Whats more universal than shoving food into your face that is possibly disgusting but also maybe not that disgusting?
Thats life, baby.
Her eyes go wild and she bolts.
Joel calls it a new level of intimacy for them, and he isnt wrong.
Theres no going back from this new stage of friendship, the poop stage is an eternal one.
The kicker of the whole thing, of course, is that Sams out of toilet paper.
Oh Joel, oh no, I have some real bad news for me, she says.
Sometimes life just comes in and tells you it loves you back, she says to the receptionist.
