Season 6: Episode 4: Let the good times roll

Fresh off of Preacher’s trial, everyone has decided to turn their attention to Mel and Jack, VR’s royal couple, lest we forget. And the writers have decided to serve up the wildest, craziest night we have EVER seen!

Brie and Kaia, Mel’s nearest and dearest, are throwing her a bachelorette party.

Joey’s flying in for the big day out, which is awesome because these sisters have a lot to catch up on. Like how Mel is getting to know her real father.

This seems like a weird time to meet your sister’s dad. Like, there will be NO OTHER OPPORTUNITIES to introduce these two people? Doesn’t Joey live within driving distance???

Well, whatever… Mel’s got it all under control. Good thing, too, because this bachelorette party is about to be wild: just look at the boas!

Brie and Kaia are feeling flirty tonight! Brie is hot and heavy for Mike, which is good because they have been having a hard time since her closing argument at Preacher’s trial (yesterday?).

If she can just distract him with sex, she won’t ever have to talk about her emotions. Who would want an emotionally intelligent bf anyway?

Meanwhile, Kaia wants to talk town hotties. She’s really trying to forge a bond with Brie by letting her know she thinks Brie’s ex is cute.

I find this to be a really concerning way to describe YOUR CO-WORKER…

But I guess Kaia and Cameron went to the same mandatory HR training program.

Anyway, these ladies are out for a whole night of “fun.” Mel is excited to FINALLY bring her two worlds together:

This is not okay. It will NEVER be okay.

And things are about to get crrrrrrrrrrrrrrazy!

Wait, sorry, wrong cultural moment.

This is the kind of wild night that could only be enacted by Messy Mel!

We are definitely familiar with these party personas! They’re soooooo crazy! So, no surprise when Mel really sticks it to a karaoke heckler(?) in classic Messy Mel fashion:

The heckler responds with a sick burn!

What matters here is Mel has TWO friends and one SISTER. Don’t get it twisted!

Meanwhile, Jack has a whole battalion of battle buddies who have come to town to celebrate his impending nuptials. And this was 100% written by a man who has BEEN TO A BACHELOR PARTY.

Unfortunately, Jack and Preacher have to have the same conversation with these dudes that *I* have to have with my children every time we are at Chili’s.

I say:

And then my partner closes with:

Parenting is so hard. No wonder Lizzie — still livin’ that PSA life — is unhappy. First of all, sometimes people have the nerve to send you perfectly practical stuff for your postpartum period instead of cute onesies!

And since plot, she naturally turns to Rick to share her concerns.

Like Mel, this poor woman has no friends. The only social circle in this town is +50. But, because this is a wild night, we need to underline the fact that these ladies are still seeing plenty of action!

I fully appreciate how horny this show lets women be… right up until they get pregnant.

Also, if THIS happens on SATC, I can only imagine what happens in VR when you talk about who you’ve slept with:

Unless you’re JE, who has only ever been with Nick.

Anyway, because “drunk” Brie and “drunk” Kaia “forgot” to cancel, a “stripper” walks into the bar. And without any hesitation, the sewing circle volunteers to accept this incredible performance.
