Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
As the series opens, Molly (a luminousMichelle Williams) finds out she is dying.
Her cancer is back, and it is now Stage IV.
This is an apt metaphor for what Molly has been doing with her life up until this very moment.
Dying for Sexfollows Molly as she embarks on a journey of sexual exploration.
What would you do if you were given only a short time to live?
How would you look at your life?
What changes would you make?
Would you be brave enough to make them?
Thats a huge downer.
Also, read the room, guy!
Your wife is dying, and all you’re able to do is focus on yourself?
Mollys internal voice-over begins to kick into high gear as she wills herself to say anything to assert herself.
Apparently, dying women and their big emotions are too much for some men to handle.
Shes lovely and wonderful.
To Molly, Sonyas admission is a bright window into a world full of possibility.
When Molly leaves the hospital, she runs away from Steve yet again.
Again she calls Nikki, and again Nikki races to be by her friends side.
Molly drops a bombshell: Shes going to leave Steve, and she wants Nikki to die with her.
Its a big, huge ask.
Dying with someone isso much to ask, but whats the alternative?
Let your friend die alone?
She immediately signs up for a dating app and delights in receiving all the dick pics.
And she can control the dicks.
Again, Molly backs out of the situation, scooting out of the elevator and apologizing profusely.
Admittedly, her afternoon is pretty amazing.
Whatever works, girl!
Then, she gets deeper into the internet, jerking it alongside a cam boy on some random site.
Molly freaks out and calls Nikki to the hotel to help her handle the situation.
So its up to Steve to rectify the situation.
But when he sees the video, he has a very different reaction than Nikki.
Instead of being beguiled by his wifes face contorted in pleasure, he says hes disgusted by the image.
Clearly, hes incapable of seeing her the way she needs to be seen.
She gathers some of her possessions, including an adorable desk lamp, and walks out.
All she asks is that she can remain on Steves insurance.
For the third time that day, Molly debriefs with Nikki.
Molly asks Nikki, Do you think he can tell Ive come six times today already?
He probably cant, but he definitely can tell that shes down to hook up.
The two leave the bar in an Uber, and Molly cant contain her excitement or lust.
She starts making out with the guy and then they begin lightly fondling one another.
The guy is so aroused that he starts to come, and Molly is giddy and delighted.
