Hello AYTO fam. I did a bit of traveling this week, so I’m behind on my television watching. I know, it’s a real shame. But I finally got around to watching this episode, so here is your recap. Get it while it’s hot (before you watch the new ep tonight).
Why does Cali look so excited, you ask? I will get to that. Hold your horses.
First, we have to go back to where we left off last week, with Lewis telling Asia that he didn’t find her attractive . . .

Sometimes the best way to work through your feelings is to write them all down. That’s exactly what I’m doing here with Lifetime’s latest thriller television show You, starring Penn Badgley, Elizabeth Lall, and Shay Mitchell. It seems as if this show has been generally well received, and yet there’s still so much about this show that lands in squarely in the “guilty pleasure” zone for me. So what is the deal with You? Is it good or is it so bad it’s good? And why can’t I decide?
Time to get to the bottom of my feelings about You…

In August of this year, indie-rock (punk-disco-pop?) musician Mitski released her highly-anticipated fifth album, Be the Cowboy. Her last record, Puberty 2, was widely acclaimed by both critics and plebs like us; one song, “Your Best American Girl,” even managed to place at #16 on NPR’s 200 Greatest Songs by 20th Century Women. Needless to say, expectations for her follow-up album were exceptionally high. Of course, Mitski surpassed them anyway, because she is our queen.

Mary tells you a little bit about Parnassus, an independent bookstore in Nashville, TN that you should definitely check out!

I just needed to start with this gif because, wow, this was the big bombshell of the night. Not that it was totally surprise, but dang, the way Lewis laid it all out there for Asia at the end of this episode was HARSH. It’s all anyone is talking about. And by that, I mean, it’s all I’m talking about because I don’t know many other people who watch this show. Where y’all at?
But more on this later. Let’s start at the top. Apparently there was a cliffhanger at the end of last week’s 2 hour episode. So let’s rewind and go over what went down.

Oh my word. Last week gave us two hours of Are You the One drama, which is par for the course for plenty of other shows. The Bachelor often overloads us with 3-4 hours in one week. Love Island is basically on, like, all the time. But in Are You the One land, two hours of television in one week is a LOT OF DRAMA. I’m feeling a little motion sick from trying to follow all of it, but I’m putting on a brave face and delivering it all to you in this recap.
We start with some Daniel and Samantha drama. Let’s set the stage.

It’s an accepted fact that Bryan Fuller’s Hannibal ended too soon. But during its three-season run, the tense, homoerotic love between titular serial killer Hannibal Lecter and FBI profiler Will Graham managed to burrow into our weird, murdery little hearts and wreck us for normal relationships.
Here are seven moments where Hannibal made me want to rip out my own heart and… well. Feed it to someone else.
(Spoilerish things after the cut.)

Take a moment to center yourself. Because it’s about to go down in this recap.
Hello. And welcome to this very late recap of last week’s Are You The One episode. My bad, y’all. I have a life. JK I was taking a lot of naps and spending quality time with my cats, but you know, that sounds like a pretty poppin’ week to me, so back off.
Look, do you want this recap or not? Let’s go.
