Slightly less belated than last time, have a reaction post for all your episode reaction needs!

I hope to catch up in the next day or two myself, but what an episode title.

ETA: Please feel free to spoiler away to your hearts' content in the comments!

I'm honestly afraid to comment because I don't want to spoil you! Do you read notifications before you've seen the episode?

(I see no one else has commented either, so you maaay want to let us know because I'm wondering if others have similar concerns.)

I was so shocked by the discovery of the reveal, and immediately rewound to watch the entire scene again.

Because I couldn't imagine Jason figuring anything out! But when you watch the episode, it all makes sense, and he's completely in character. And it explains so much of the season arc, too! Janet dumping Jason made sense for Janet, but Janet being so irritable all the time, for a lot of what were problems of her own making, were so surprising. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed watching her being annoyed at being taken for granted. But so much of it seemed to be her own doing, as the Janet babies shouldn't have been causing chaos she couldn't manage. So now it makes sense.

Also the original punching shirtless demon fakeout had clearly been a trap, so this is nice.

I'm so proud of Jason! If there's anything in this world he actually pays attention to, it's definitely his not-a-robot not-a-girlfriend. He even corrected Michael later! That's so touching!

Plus it was kind of fun how obviously into his sudden moment of intensity Eleanor was. You keep taking pleasure in the little things, Shellstrop!

(And thank you so much for including spoiler space! In the future, I'll make it clear that I'm setting aside all my notification emails until I've watched the episode myself, but it warms my heart that we have such thoughtful commenters here!)

Oh no, you're so considerate and I completely did not see this, because I wasn't reading my comment notifications! I'm very sorry for the confusion -- I'll be sure to make a note in future posts that you can 100% spoiler away without fear!
