This is the episode where we really see everything the show has to offer. All the big themes and relationships start to come to maturity here.
This episode gives us comedy, social commentary, a lot of second-hand embarrassment, and, best of all, romance.
We also start to see this show is really unapologetically a queer show that centers values such as honesty in relationships, body positivity, and a refusal to take on toxic shame. The episode delivers some lovely anti-racist and anti-classist commentary as well.
Lucius slays here. This is arguably the best episode for really enjoying this character. On a ship full of LGBTQ+ pirates, he's "the gay one" and this episode is why.
