Sex Education Season 4 Episode 3 Review: It All Comes Crashing Down

Everything has modified, and it is arduous to inform the place issues will go subsequent for all the key gamers.

Sex Education Season 4 Episode 3 ended with a surprising cliffhanger that is positive to offer the make-or-break subsequent steps for Otis and Maeve, and sadly, it looks like they’re headed for catastrophe.

It is clear that Otis spending the night time at Ruby’s would result in catastrophe, however even when their night time was strictly platonic, Maeve will battle that her boyfriend was along with his ex-girlfriend in her time of want.

Something needed to occur to deliver Maeve again to city, and her mom’s overdose means she’ll be again residence, probably endlessly, and he or she’ll be leaning on her mates for assist.

Otis will undoubtedly really feel responsible for not being there for her, however how will Maeve really feel when she inevitably learns the reality?

The excellent news is that Otis and Ruby appear to have merely fallen asleep, however the optics of that won’t go down properly with Maeve and different observers.

Otis has been battling these emotions of being unnoticed by each Maeve and Eric, whereas Ruby has nobody in her nook, so they appear like a pure match as mates.

Cal: Are Aries purported to be suitable collectively?
Aisha: Hmm. Big fights, however superb make-up sеx.
Cal: Whoa!

Their previous will give folks pause in the event that they ever say they’re mates, however perhaps they will be capable of hold issues strictly platonic.

They nonetheless care deeply for each other, and Otis was shocked that Anwar and Olivia shunned Ruby.

It’s not unusual for youngsters to search out new mates, and in the event that they’re now in several faculties, staying involved with the folks you used to name your pals is troublesome.

Ruby’s storyline is unhappy as a result of she has this robust exterior as a result of she’s been damage a lot up to now, and it is unhappy to assume that if she had been a bit extra susceptible together with her new classmates, she’d most likely have all the buddies on this planet.

Hearing the true extent of O’s bullying once they had been at summer season camp up to now paints the intercourse therapist in a really totally different gentle than earlier than.

Now it is evident that O feigned ignorance to Ruby on Sex Education Season 4 Episode 2 as a result of Ruby going public within the faculty with that story may smash the facade that’s O’s life.

The battle between Otis and O will proceed to assemble steam because the collection progresses, and I hope Otis will not use O and Ruby’s previous to get forward.

Otis was contemplating it when he informed Ruby that this might be what they should take down O as soon as and for all.

Can you hurry up? Some folks truly must take a shit!

Using that info with out Ruby giving the inexperienced gentle would not simply be horrible; it could be full character assassination for Otis.

On prime of that, Ruby would not be capable of forgive him and could be ridiculed. Many observers who do not learn about Ruby’s previous struggles and what she’s coping with away from faculty would love nothing greater than to see her introduced down a number of pegs.

But Ruby’s arc is attention-grabbing as a result of it harkens again to the previous saying that you just by no means know what somebody’s going by way of behind closed doorways.

The identical might be stated for Maeve. The approach she’s been handled by Thomas, her egotistical professor, has knocked her confidence.

On Sex Education Season 3, Maeve realized she will obtain her objectives irrespective of the obstacles, however this man goes out of his approach to make sure she quits the college and returns residence.

It’s arduous to shake the sensation that he thinks her work is superior, and he does not assume she deserves to have that stage of expertise as a result of that is the one motive he might be performing like that.

Maeve is slowly getting a masterclass in how cash makes the world go spherical and the way payoffs are extra frequent than folks imagine in establishments.

Hearing Ellen boast about getting the internship will need to have been arduous as a result of Maeve knew effective properly her peer did not get the function on her personal deserves.

Ellen taking the story of Maeve’s previous out of the trash can can go one among two methods, however given Maeve’s character arc, she’s destined for extra heartbreak than earlier than.

Let’s hope she will return residence and assist her mom get higher and that Otis might be by her facet as a result of Otis is not proving to be probably the most dependable particular person.

The identical can be stated for Eric. Eric and Otis’ bond has been so robust since Sex Education that it is painful to see the 2 mates embark on very totally different lives.

Eric spent lots of his time in class worrying about being his genuine self, however at Cavendish, he does not really feel judged and has discovered a bunch of mates he feels very comfy with.

Otis: My telephone’s out of battery, and my mum’s gonna be apprehensive, so I…
Ruby: Charge it right here, after which I may offer you a raise residence?
Otis: Uh… I’d actually higher go.
Ruby: Look, let’s meet up tomorrow morning and work out subsequent steps. And I feel it is best to speak to Maeve. Just let her know that you feel left behind.
Otis: I’ll. Thanks for every part.

But that is to not say it is going to all the time be that approach. Obviously, Otis was solely going to the nightclub as a result of he needed to assist his pal.

The mark of an excellent pal is once they’ll be there, no questions requested. Eric preserving Otis away from Abbi, Aisha, and Roman will solely drive a wedge between them.

Then once more, Otis has been pulled in lots of instructions, however I hope he does not blame Eric as a result of he slept over at Ruby’s.

That would suck—massive time.

Adam’s breakthrough along with his father was satisfying as a result of it was an natural path for this storyline.

Michael is slowly however absolutely starting to know deal with parenting and rebuilding that connection along with his son, and it is making for good TV.

Having this father and son speak about their lives was one thing I by no means thought we would see, however they lastly felt comfy with each other to talk issues by way of.

I do not know whether or not that may final, however I did not count on Maureen to be jealous that Michael was shifting on.

Otis: Hey. Sorry, my telephone was out of battery. Um, Maeve, I’m actually sorry we fought. And I stated some silly issues. And I ought to have been extra supportive. You had been proper. I… I used to be being…
Maeve: Otis, it does not matter. I’m going to the airport. My mum’s in hospital. She’s had an оvеrdоsе. It’s severe. I’m coming residence.

Michael was nonetheless holding on to this hope of a reunion till Sex Education Season 3 Episode 8 got here alongside and adjusted every part.

Are we to imagine they will finish the collection collectively? Part of me thinks that will be a disservice to their character arcs, so I hope they’re each at peace and might transfer on.

Jean’s breakdown was heartbreaking. Gillian Anderson is killing it this season as her character faces one thing she by no means anticipated.

Jean has been so accustomed to being unbiased that asking for assistance is proving to be troublesome for her.

She’s determined to speak to somebody who genuinely understands her, however one thing tells me her sister is enjoying the lengthy con right here.

We know she’s broke and will cross as Jean, so I hope she does not attempt to get a line of credit score out in her title. We know from their varied interactions to this point that Joanna can lie very properly.

What are your ideas on these revelations about O?

Are you stunned Otis slept over at Ruby’s?

What do you assume will occur when Maeve returns?

Hit the feedback.
