The protest scene alone is one of the best scenes in the whole show and the build up to it in the first 10 minutes is quite tense. Michael also shines in this episode perhaps being the best he ever has in this show and his speech was remarkable. A throughly entertaining episode that proves how good season 3 has turned out to be.

This was a pretty well paced and well written episode which provided closures and climaxes to the event that were being built up in the previous episodes. The students showing their protest against Hope, Michael finally confronting his feelings and admitting them to the right people, Otis and Maeve, Lily's storyline, etc. Were all extremely satisfying. The music this season is also amazing, keeping up with the trend. Let's see how things turn out in the finale.
Definitely the best episode hands down

While I do absolutely agree with teens needing to be more sex positive, I'm not sure the way it's portrayed in this episode is entirely the right way. Information, agency and trust are key words as according to Dr. Milburn, - but actually suggesting that songs with vulgar albeit comedic lyrics as the school anthem is NOT sex positive. And this kind of thinking could potentially be damaging even for the "mature audience" it was intended for.
Obviously, IMDb is not the place to make moral/ethical judgements but it is a place to put your personal thoughts about the episode.
Anyways, wanted to put thoughts as this episode seems to be highly rated.

Probably the best episode of the show so far ! And probably the best Netflix show so far!!

Wow!!! Everything about this show is brilliant, amazing how u can take something that tbh sounds a bit stupid and immature like sex in high school and make it so funny, so touching, so Amazing. Way more than just a "sex show"
Nervous to see what happened to jean!
And finally!! Otis and Meave!

This! This is what we been waiting for! The uprising of the students standing up to hope, issac FINALLY gone (thankgod 🙏), and OTIS AND MAEVE!!! So much more happened too that they packed into this episode and it all just fits so well. This season is definitely an improvement over the 2nd. Almost as good as the beloved first season.
That was incredible!!

WOW... so I thought the last episode was a real tear-jerker, this one got me like no other episode has. I literally had to pause a few times to just process my emotions. Every single second of this episode threw me for a loop, and I was not ready. This penultimate chapter of the season is like a crescendo to the beautiful harmony that is season 3 of SE.

Woah a lot happened in this episode but i loved it

Great episode! I loved seeing them all come together and rebel against the head teacher. Especially Ruby coming out of nowhere and assaulting Hope lmao. Also i love to see Jonathan's character developing and im actually starting to like him a bit! I can't believe he slept with his ex wife too and told off his brother! Other than that a few things annoyed me this episode like Eric telling Adam he cheated... like just keep that to yourself 😖. Also Maeve and Otis aren't good together and their storyline has been going on for 3 seasons just put it to rest are they gonna get together or not? Last thing what is going on with Cal and Jackson? I can't wait for the season finale just wish they had more episodes.
Protest!

I don't know what happened to this character Hope. He seemed good since the beginning of the season. How could she be so disgusting that she locked Cal in a room?
By the way, I like the process of student protests. Viv did a great job. But where is the recording? I expected this scene so much, where the recording is being played in front of all news reporters.
Again, the last scene of Maeve and Otis is satisfying enough.

The whole headmistress role was stolen from Harry Potter, but then she goes completely off the rails in the previous episode and then a random student starts beating on her and she beats back. What the hell? That didn't even make sense. I get that they were trying to build up to some sort student protest, but locking trans students in classrooms so they won't be seen, and don't even get me started on the idiocy of the psycho headmistress stealing the personal property from students and locking it up for a week. In no sane world would any of that ever be tolerated and that was just bad writing all the way around the block.
Season three in general was a huge disappointment, especially with the whole stupid headmistress stuff and now cat fights. The writers have run out of ideas.

This episode is full of incredibly powerful scenes: The conversation between Lily and Otis, the therapy session with Jacob, the scene where Maeve has to take her mother's other daughter again, Michael Grove's speech against his brother, the shock scene with the complications after the birth and the last scene between Otis and Maeve are all masterpieces. Only that silly scene where Hope and Ruby fight is a problem, but I can sign that.

I'm really loving Amiee's arc.
And now, Michael's, too.
No longer really want Isaac to get run over by a garbage truck. Maybe just a pickup truck.
And if Maeve and Otis kiss right now, it gets a 10. And there it is.
And, I appreciate inclusion and love between whoever, but for whatever reason, this show starts with way too many sex scenes, I know "Sex Education" but life is more than sex.

If isaac want Maeve fully sure to him he should have let maeve back to otis after he knew about otis real feeling to maeve, he can't hope any better result when he already knew actually maeve had feeling also with otis, un ethical demands of isaac he didn't have a chance of maeve feeling at all if it were not deleted, poor isaac though he is a good dude indeed.
Disappointing

The scene where the students rebelled against the head teacher was stupid and not funny. All series the characters all become likeable in there own way and in one scene it made them all look and act like horrible, spoilt and thuggish unlikable people. Such a shame.
such a shame
wwwachaghaei19 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Such a shame especially when the first 5 ep where going so well, then the last ep and this full with events that doesn't make any sense at all like in ep 6 where hope say those thing was completely out of character for hope! Like she had zero reason to say those!! She just said that casually and then in this ep rubey coming out of nowhere and HEAT the HEADMASTER and hope gave up after getting beat up by a student and leave just like that😂 that was just one of the most stupid thing I ever seen in a show.
Dumb and Unrealistic
sauerkraut7721 September 2021
I'm not sure what hope(the headmaster)actually did in this show to deserve that character assassination, she's completely normal throughout the season, maybe a bit out of line with the whole abstinence stuff, but that too felt a bit forced for her character.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, she becomes this evil bich that says mean things and deserves to be trashed by the whole school.
Started so well, this and the previous episode kind of ruined the season for me...Feels to me that the writers wasted too much time trying fix some kind of narrative on how kids/students should behave in school or maybe even adults in real for that matter. Left with a lot of plot holes and dead character lines, all to fit their agenda.

Weak episode
mohandeskyan9 October 2021
I enjoyed whole season but this episode was the worst ep ever!!! The way they treat headmaster wasn't interesting at all... all things happen in this ep was completely unreal and out of mind...i think this ep was awful.
Such a promising start

But.. ruby literally assaulting the princple? This was the worst scene of the show for me,i enjoyed the season till the moment ruby broke up with ot,this couple carried hard the season but the writers must repeat the narrative of make us in love in a character but than completely ruin them,usually the execution is good but this time it left an horrible taste.
What kind of message are they trying to deliver?
Shergo78 January 2022
This is insanely absurd. How are the creators of this show ok with promoting chaos and encouraging young adults to act in such disrespectful manners and not care or respect people of authority? I cannot get my head around this. They are showing the headmistress to be a villian while all she is doing is working to better the school.
Shame on you Netflix.

Very weak & boring episode.
philadams-9872325 October 2021
It seems this season is just getting more & more dull by the episode. It really seems so disjointed & all over the place. I think the shine is wearing off after a great season 1 & 2. Is there really a season 4 planned? Such a shame.
