I love that Joe keeps asking himself, with no irony, “Maybe I am the problem?” Like yeah, Joe, of course you are the problem, you’re a fuckin’ psycho! Naturally, when Joe goes to the library, where the lighting is soft and warm and he is safe in the embrace of hardcover books and the people who adore them, Marienne drags his hair for being “very Patrick Bateman meets Venetian gondola.” For totally normal reasons, Marienne needs Joe to pose for her and answer flirtatious questions about his favorite childhood literature so she can … draw a picture of something that isn’t Joe. Also, when I found out that they were angling to get Henry into the Ashman School - after ALL this hype about moving to Madre Linda for the excellent public schools - I lost my mind.

“Bored housewife yearns for torrid affair with hot teen next door” is the free space on the Suburban TV Tropes bingo board, so, glad to see everyone leaning into their clichés here.
#DEEPIN GRUB THEME SKIN#
A+ to the hair and makeup department this episode.īut maybe Love’s skin is aglow because she is keeping a secret: She’s stayed in touch with Theo, “helping him” from afar by ordering him Ubers when he’s too drunk to drive and by thinking about their one passionate kiss. It looks phenomenal all episode, as do her outfits, which I know is supposed to be a bad sign because it means she’s fully assimilated, but who cares? Joe’s douchey shellacked look for the family photo is also perfect styling-as-character work. Even though I, like Joe, am underwhelmed by the social offerings of Madre Linda, I do like that this therapist tells him he needs to have friends outside of his marriage, which is a wise counsel I wish more couples took seriously.Īlso, Love’s makeup looks fantastic. Whatever, anything to make Henry happy! Parenting is about sacrifice! Love tells the therapist that Joe has had a harder time making friends than she has - his only friends are at work, and by “friends,” he means Marienne, the latest doomed object of his desire. Joe keeps telling himself he can live a life so dull and empty he doesn’t even bother jerking off in the shower anymore he has also been struggling to stay hard for sex with Love, who no longer excites him because she is not committing and/or covering up a homicide. Joe has become obsessed with tending to the lawn (I laughed out loud at his line reading of “The lawn is the foyer of the home”). Love and Joe report to their therapist that they are “just a normal, boring suburban family” now.
Six months have passed since Love killed Natalie. But alas, the spark goes out of their relationship. Boy and girl have a baby, settle down, buy a house in the suburbs, kill ONE more person on purpose, and also one more person, but by accident, but still, and then they pinky swear: NO MORE MURDERING. Boy and girl have a romantic courtship and thrilling sexual escapades and commit a smattering of manslaughters. It’s a tale as old as time: Boy meets girl.
