2. McKay rejects Cassie.
During a hang out at McKay’s house, Cassie attempts to instigate sex. McKay would rather talk about his football issues at college. He inadvertently insults Cassie in the process. “Why do you have to make everything sexual?” He asks her.
Later that same night, McKay texts to apologize. Cassie is somewhat distant until he mimics her move from earlier. He begs for nude pictures.
Cassie eventually relents. You get the feeling this is the only way she knows how to be intimate and have to wonder why she has an issue connecting on an emotional level. And does McKay care about her, or does he view her as someone to vent to and have sex with, nothing more?
1. Who is ShyGuy118?
Jules continues talking to guys on the same dating app where she met Cal. This week she meets ShyGuy118. Their chemistry is instantaneous, and Jules becomes addicted to chatting with him.
Conversations range from casual to deep and searching. A clear connection forms between them. The end of the episode reveals ShyGuy118’s identity as none other than…Nate!

Odds & Ends
- I love that Jules watches Madoka Magicka.
- At this point, it’s unclear if Nate knows about Cal and Jules. Could he have watched their DVD?
