Some pretty groundbreaking and beautiful gay fiction during this episode. Really wish I had this kind of content on my screen a few years back in high school, would really have helped me. We start to see an essential transformation in Nick during this episode bolstered by the visibility of queerness that is so essential to a young developing queer mind. The episode is so god damn visually appealing. From Charlie's friend's bedroom, to Tara on the dance floor with her girlfriend, to the lil animations when Charlie and Nick kiss.

The episode feels vibrant and feels like it's breathing. The acting is on point from everyone especially Joe and Kit. Their eyes and facial expression scream out where their characters are at. Charlie is looking for love with some self acceptance in his soul and Nick wants to feel his embrace but his facial expression convey that all too familiar internalised homophobia. Two great character moments that will forever be remembered.

Great messages for the young queer mind.
