Sex & Nudity

  • Cathy, Marlene, and Rebecca go out to a buffet lunch, which turns out to be a male strip club. Men are seen in various states of undress (most shirtless, many in small briefs, but never nude). They are offered penis-shaped lollipops when they get there (called "lollicocks").
  • While at the strip club, Cathy wins a personal strip dance. The man takes off his shirt, and Cathy looks very uncomfortable. He then takes off his pants and is seen in small, shiny briefs, and Cathy gets up and walks away. Marlene cheers the stripper on throughout the sequence.

Violence & Gore

Profanity

  • "Fuck" is used occasionally in this episode, but not as frequently as others. "Lollicocks" is said once regarding the strip club treats (see Sex & Nudity). Rebecca angrily calls Sean a "cunt." Other, milder profanities are included in the episode.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Alcohol is served and consumed at the strip club.
  • Cathy does a coffee enema (offscreen) and is seen seemingly jacked up on caffeine.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A coworker of Paul's emotionally describes watching her husband lose his battle to terminal cancer.
  • Cathy tells Rebecca to realize her life is pretty great before she dies and maggots eat her eyeballs out.
