LAST EPISODE: The integral plot points were introduced, Patrick went on a date and threesomes erupted.
Before I get into my thing, I recently read in the Metro [British Tube-based newspaper for commuters] an article about Jonathan Groff and this very TV show. I didn’t get to read it all the way, but I remember that both Groff and Patrick are 28 years old. And I can’t be arsed to upload any pics.
This episode begins with Patrick looking like a U-haul lesbian and Agustin helping him, because they are moving things into a car. They make this remark: “You’re such a racist!” “I’m Latino!” “You’re from Coral Gables [, Florida]”. They and Dom joke about fuck buddies, because Pat wants an uncircumsized Mexican for a fuck buddy. They end up in the car listening to techno music and being paranoid. San Francisco is beautiful:
So they go into a basement apartment – Agustin’s in Oakland. “What if Frankie got done up the butt by 20 muscle bears?” Pat asks to Agustin. Pat wishes Agustin goodbye. Dom gives it three months before he comes back. Pat gives it five or six. The music is now indie, and not techno. No, actually, it’s techno. San Francisco is still beautiful.
Dom meets some heavy-accented guy at a cafe. It’s Ethan! They finally get to introduce him properly. Ethan wants them to start again, and Dom is astounded. There’s an in-joke about a framed collage of nude men shaped like a unicorn:
We’re back at the video game workshop… no, screw that, he’s working from home and he searches “Uncut Latin Cock” on Google Images. Well, we know what’s a popular search these days! Dom’s on Grindr, not looking for Uncut Latin Cock. He finds a 28 year old twink, and he appears in a blink of an eye. They live in the same aparment block, then they have sex. First actual sex scene on the show!
So Pat is meeting up with Richie on the street, and they go on a date. Richie has Jesus on his necklace. They drink some beer and it looks like the beginning an anti drink drive PIF. There’s a song on that Pat likes. Dom and Roommmate Girl – Doris – talk and eat (I think) pineapple. Or is it cheese? Now back to Pat and Richie, and they club in the Castro. And they are dancing to a song which goes “Take me to your mommy’s for dinner! Take me to your mommy’s for rice and beans!”. Then Agu and Frank are eating pizza and watching a drag show.
Now, Pat and Richie are dancing to Erasure in the club. It’s like that episode of Buffy where they’re in the Bronze, and everyone is slow dancing to some indie song, except for one couple who are looking at the camera and doing some quasi Macarena, but if it was Erasure and everyone was doing the quasi Macarena. And Richie might be moving into Agu’s room, and Pat offers him mac and cheese. They kiss, and here it goes!
Cut to Dom in a hotel with Ethan. Slow chat. They dump each other and swear a lot. He goes “Once a methhead motherfucker, always a methhead motherfucker!” Richie and Pat are close to getting it on, and Richie has very tight jeans. Unfortunately, Richie leaves Pat to go back home. Meanwhile, at Agu’s, he’s putting the unicorn gay porn frame picture up in his undies, and cut to Patrick eating kale salad with chicken – actually his mac and cheese – and talking to Agu. Turns out, Richie is cut, and Patrick calls himself a racist. End of episode, replay of Erasure song.
