This makes the usually levelheaded Venitas behavior makewaymore sense.

Its hard to get mad at the show for this.

We all know that the reality were watching is one that is mediated.

Most of the episode, once again, was relegated to Shep and Sienna breaking up.

Thats what is weird.

However, once Craig tells Shep what he is doing is stupid, he must let it go.

Austen is right, Shep isnt going to listen to them anyway.

Shep goes to meet Sienna and gives her the necklace, which is even more awkward than we anticipated.

He sounds like a 14-year-old boy when he gives it to her.

Its a megalodon tooth, he tells her about the necklace.

Its a prehistoric shark thats bigger than all the other sharks.

Do you like it?

When she says yes, he says, It accentuates your wonderful chest.

Okay, thanks, Shark Week.

They wont be slow dancing because Shep is officially broken up with.

Do it a million more times.

Shep tells her that they were, but they just had different views on it.

We didnt have a label on it, she says.

Shep replies, I fucking hate labels.

Were just having fun!

he said to every coed he met on King Street.

Its all too much, it is all weird, and, again, it is giving junior high.

However, the best and most touching scene of the episode is between Craig and Austen.

It starts as a fight with the group when Austen accuses Craig of being an embellisher.

Oh, how I laughed.

Oh, how I cackled.

Oh, how I almost tinkled a little bit in my undies.

Put this on a pillow and sell a million of them, Craig.

This is why you will always be one of the greats.

However, I am conflicted about the rest of the scene.

Thats when Craig drops a bomb.

I cant because I dont have any leash on myself.

Thats any addict, he says.

We also go into his previous struggles with Adderall through some flashbacks.

Is he talking about pills?

Is he talking about booze?

Is he talking about a combination?

Is he getting treatment?

Is he in a program?

We all have plenty of questions.

Okay, I take back all the questions about his addiction.

They end the convo with Craig saying, Lets find our new quality time together.

Thats all Austen has been asking for all season; he just needed Craig to come around to it.

from the treachery of production, and Shep has finally been dumped.

Can we finally retire from this never-ending trip?
