He didnt reach her by railway.
He didnt reach her by trailway.
He didnt reach her by jitney.
Last episodeended before we could see her reaction and, of course, shes smitten.
The look on his face in that second says, Seriously?
I took an Uber with a box of LED candles and thats not even good enough?
But he says yes and they go in for a night of fond remembrances andperiod sex.
In her confessional, Lindsay says he has to prove himself before I take him back?
Hold on a minute.
I was about to rail at Lindsay for having unrealistic expectations of Stephen.
And she still does.
But she has made her needs very clear.
At this point, if Stephen comes back into this relationship, its his fault.
This relationship is no longer her problem, it is his.
This is the unwritten subtext of what Paige and Perry, the Snuffleupagus ofSummer House,are going through.
Sorry, but right now Carl is in a good enough place to sleep with him entirely sober.)
What they mean by in the house and hanging out with friends is being on reality TV.
Hannah, shockingly, gives Paige some good advice.
Thats actually a really good mantra for anyone who feels stuck.
This is actually a difficult and somewhat interesting (for the reality television arts and sciences) predicament.
Its a strange calculus that most people dont need to deal with.
Its an easy compromise and what employer could be opposed to that?
Thats what we all really want for her future, right?
He looks like an Icelandic music producer with bad tattoos and limp hair.
The energy between them seems a little bit like a snail on a Xanax bender.
Thats not what creeps me out about Des.
Its something about how he is justdyingto be on television.
Did he start dating Hannah to get famous?
I doubt it, considering hesbig in Ireland.
(That is sort of like Stravy being tall inHobbiton.
Sorry, but he came back.
Hes asking for it!)
Im not trying to be sex-negative; I once edited a homosexual pornography webpage.
(Hey, one-minute sex can be great.
Sometimes you just need to get er done and go back to your day.)
I mean, cool.
But this is a table of people youve barely met.
They know youre banging.
No reason to rub their noses in it.
This has to be enough boning, right?
Now, come on.
That was awkward and I think I might have thrown the porn star out of the house?
(If I did, sorry, past roommate, but I was still right.)
Both Hannah and Des confess that they have never fallen for someone like they have for each other.
That makes me happy for them.
But theyre one of those couples whose happiness exists in a heart-shaped bubble.
Lindsay thinks the same thing.
She wants the same thing.
(Sodoes Joe Gorga, for that matter.)
But the bubble is never sustainable.
Eventually, it will pop.
