Sex & Nudity

  • There is a scene at a party where one of the teens says that there is a girl upstairs having sex with anyone and asks who is up for it. He accuses a boy of being a virgin and everyone joins in taunting him.
  • Graphic sexual references. An elderly man describes in detail, using crude terms, the size and nature of his penis and testicles. We see his pants around his ankles as he's hoping to show an elderly woman his "package."
  • Marlene tells Sean that "old people get horny, too" and to quit "c-ckblocking" her.
  • There is a scene where Cathy and Lenny are having sex. He is seen naked from behind thrusting between her legs. This is shown twice, for a few seconds each time. Lots of kissing and groping during and before the sex scene.

Violence & Gore

Profanity

  • "F-ck" is used numerous times throughout the episode, sometimes as a reference to sex. "C-ckblocking" is used once. Graphic sexual dialogue. Milder profanities, as well.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Paul gets drunk at a dinner celebrating his promotion and behaves erratically.
  • There is also a scene where the main character's son goes to a party where alcohol is served to underage teenagers. The son is 14 and the others at the party are 16.
  • There is a scene where the main character asks her class of teenagers if anyone knows anything about a bottle of pills that dropped on the floor after class the day before. A man comes in and asks why she has Ecstasy tablets on her desk. In a later scene they are seen taking the tablets. It is pretty obvious that they are high in later scenes.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • A comment about a drunk teenage girl being willing to "f-ck everyone" who wants to might be unsettling to some people.
