The rest of the season up until this point was a total grind, but this ep made me sit up and get involved. I see Brenda Strong was the director (plays Bryce's mom) and she knocked it out of the park. The chemistry between the characters was suddenly great, there were genuinely funny moments and I actually liked Clay for the first time! (Spoilers) His first sexual experience was endearing, awkward and self-deluded - in other words, it felt real. And what a great ending! Shame the writers completely wasted that great set up in the opening of the next ep (however, thankfully overall, its another very good episode).
