Ok! Here's the problem. I like this show, but time and time again it disappoints with LGBTQ+ storylines -- especially given how much they promote them. Why have them if they're not going to get as much attention as the others?! We got plenty of Lilette and Robbie. Again. But what else is new there.
Overall, good episode, I guess. They shoved Simon and Jeremy in the background, though, and that's what I mean about the LGBTQ+ storylines. They got one scene -- ONE SCENE -- despite how much the promo hyped it up. Kind of disappointing, really.
Good to see Michael, though. I want to see more of his storyline continued because we haven't yet. At first, I loved the gentle way they were developing the Michael story. They weren't making it a loud, in your face story because it's not. This is life, every day. When he got his little victory of changing in the men's room, I cried and celebrated right along with him. But, since then, nothing has really happened with his story.
Simon is so torn between what he is feeling and what he's been indoctrinated with his entire life. Obviously, the club is giving him the opportunity to finally explore the feelings he's always had, but I'm sad that he felt like he couldn't do the study night/"date" with Jeremy so he asked Annabelle out instead. In the end hearts will be hurt. I hope he can gain confidence and grow comfortable in his own skin.
The ending was great. Glad they got their set! The only problem, though, is stories are getting more attention than others. I still have the same questions I did when I started watching this show, which shouldn't be.
I give "Bring Me Stanton" a 7.2/10.
