Yaaas, I'm so glad Otis sees Adam as I do! I honestly don't understand why do people support him over Rahim. Rahim was sweet from the first moment and didn't have a single bad word towards Eric (or anyone else). Maybe Eric feels "special"(?) because the bully started to have feelings for him, but I 100% agree with Otis - Eric hid this fact and their sneak-outs because deep down he, too, knows that Adam is not a good person.
And how glad I am that he realized this and chose Rahim!
I saw that coming from Ola when she accidentally leaned a little close to Lily in the previous episode (or 2 episodes ago?). Though the way she handled things with Otis and Lily... eh, really not the best thing to do. Spontaneousness might have its advantages, but in this episode Ola showed us its downsides. Think before you act.
Arg, again with pansexuality. SHE'S BISEXUAL! Jesus!
I'm a bit annoyed with the "will they, won't they" that just keeps dragging now. That text Otis sent to Maeve feels like such a cheap plot device just to keep them separated even though Ola broke up with him shortly after. When will writers learn that you can have the main characters as couple and still keep the show going? There's so much to explore in relationships and we have so many interesting side characters/plots in this show.
And I hope Jackson/Viv (and Meaeve/wheelchair guy) will stay platonic friends. They could be a cute couple, but this season just had too many people hooking up with each other already for my taste and writers need to learn that platonic relationships are a normal thing.
So glad that Adam's mom wants a divorce. She deserves better.
Another solid episode of Sex Education, man I really feel for Aimee and her emotionally processing the sexual assualt situation, I hope people like her boyfriend are there to support her through the trauma. Regarding Maeve, it looks like her relationship with Erin is finally imrpoving, after Erin started taking accountability for her actions instead of finding excuses for abandoning Maeve and becoming an addict like she was doing at the NA meeting, and now its looking like Erin and Maeve's relationship is improving, with that heartwarming scene of Erin admitting her choices is what led to this, and then painting Maeve's nails. Also, Maeve and Isaac's relationship is nice to see, tho Isaac is such a smug and kinda dickish person, he seems to be a decent guy deep down, and its nice Maeve has someone who she can relate to, Im ennjoying the moments between them and hope we can see more of their friendship. Also, poor Otis, he just had to choose Ola instead of Maeve, and whats worse is that Ola was falling jn love with Lily, now Otis is just a single man who was dumped by Ola. Also, its sad to see Adam be so self-hating and denying of his sexuality, honestly he isnt that bad of a fit for Eric, Eric always seems to be so happy around Adam now, tho I see why Otis was so opposed to it, given that Adam was Eric's bully for years. Looks like Eric is dating Rahim tho, he's a sweet guy to so im not really opposed to it. Also, man I feel bad for Jakob, yeah I agree with Jean that it just felt like he was everywhere all the time, it mustve been pretty suffocating, but my guy didnt deserve being cheated on, looks like Jean x Jakob is over now. Also, man fuck Remi, he really is a shitty person who just cant stop cheating on his partners, and using father and son bonding as an excuse for Remi to escape his problems after cheating on his new partner is such a shitty move, I feel bad for Otis for having him as a father. Also, goddamn Jackson and Vivian are such cute friends, I love seeing all the moments between the two, with today having Jackson help Vivian win over her crush, also the moment when Viv and Jackson were walking on the bridge was so sweet, I feel bad Jackson, its clear Maeve was something special for him, watching him open up about that hurt. Also regarding Jackson, I really hope he finally just tells his parents that he doesnt care for swimming, and the school play is something he is actually passionate about. Also, poor Mrs. Groff, Maureen clearly wants to stir up some passion in the relationship again, but Mr Groff just isnt really sexually interested in her anymore, man am I glad they're getting a divorce and Mr. Groff is fucking off. Also, rip Maeve x Otis, my guy really had to say he cant talk to her anymore right before getting rejected by Ola.
Ola's character was really ruined in this episode with the way she gave Otis an ultimatum, that was really unlike her. But I guess that's life. Only proves that when you feel you have to give your partner an ultimatum - the relationship is already doomed. Too bad she realized it before Otis sent Mevae that message. But that might be a lesson to him as well, play it less safe and to try to go with what he really wants.
I feel we didn't get enough of Rahim to decide who's better for Eric, him or Adam, he must have some other hidden issues as well, like how he got to England in the first place, and why he lives above the store, who are his parents etc.
I hope we'll get more of that in the remaining episodes of the season
I'm happy Ola and Otis aren't together anymore and that Maureen wants a divorce, yeehaw!
What I love about this show is the complicated relationship between each characters
i feel like people who are surrounded by non-homophobic people forget that people these days still grow up in homophobic homes. Otis said "then why are you [Adam and Eric] sneaking around after dark" like it's easy to admit to yourself that you're not straight let alone be comfortable enough to not be afraid of people's reactions. IT'S NOT EASY TO BE COMFORTABLE TO BE QUEER IN PUBLIC. And it's not like Adam can afford losing any more support from his parents, he cannot allow himself to do anything out of the norm. Eric should know what it's like to be afraid to be yourself, that was his season 1 arc!! And Eric has a supportive family and didn't have the toxic masculinity of being jock from high school. Also, let's be real he chose Rahim only because he's out and that's not fair for him. Eric clearly doesn't have the same mindset (their 1st date) and interests (isn't enjoying the book Rahim gave him). So what's he's loving is the ability to love openly. But Rahim deserves to be loved for his personality.
And Ola expecting Lily to take her in with open arms... IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY ACCEPTING YOUR SEXUALITY. For Lily this realisation that she has feelings for girls is world-shifting. It changes how you think about the world and especially about yourself. What is normal and where do I fit into that? And the soul crushing realisation that your life can literally be in danger, you can be harassed, you can be disowned or permanently change the relationship between you and your closest family.
So stop pretending that people who choose to stay in the closet or are in denial about their sexuality are wrong or bad people for doing that. it's not like we really have a choice
Oh, the sweet drama xD
Ola and her dreams about Lily. And how she has to tell everything to Adam xD
Adam being Adam.
Remi, Otis, and Eric hiking <3
Remi: "No, we're not getting a fucking hotel!"
Jakob continuing to make lots of noise while Jean feels guilty.
Otis telling Ola "I love you", Ola breaking up with Otis followed by Ola kissing Lily and getting rejected. Now both Otis and Ola are suddenly alone... :o :D Otis just shouldn't have send that text message to Maeve...
PS: I feel so bad for Maureen Groff. Michael isn't beating her or anything but he's just so emotionless :o Quite sad...
PPS: At least Eric and Rahim are back on track! I really like that. Feels so much better than Eric and Adam. I hope Adam also finds someone.
hey, that everybody got screwed and got along at the same time in this episode.
I have to go and do homework. :joy:
"You don't end up in end up in bad situations, you make bad choices"
OMG, so much going on, so many broken hearts!
ask yourself... why have you been hiding it?
Finally a sensate thought.

“You dont end up in bad situations, you make bad decisions.”
Yupp. No excuse.
Also that neighbour in the wheelchair. Unpopular opinion but only because you’re in a wheelchair doesn’t give you a free card to be an asshole. But w/e they’ll probably start liking one another or something.
“Vaginal pleasure doesn’t diminish with age or lack of contact.” Noooo, but it can by trauma and other mental issues, which I suspect “not getting touched by your significant other for 6 years while longing for a physical relationship” might provoke. Strongly.
Yikes. Remi’s got some problems. He came off so differently in the first season. Like he’s really mellowed.
”I want a divorce” yeeeeeee, you go girl! Good for you!
Nice fade into a sort of “your bowl my mangos” kind of image.
And I absolutely loved the ending. Ola really has been annoying me way more lately. And she used to be so cool.
