OOfff that confession was amazing. It's not what I thought she was going to confess to. I love that she leaned into - "What's burdening your heart?" - rather than "confess to betraying boo." It was more foundational and more growth in terms of starting to let herself just live without having it all figured out in a way that would make living and loving safe. I kinda disagree that it's about having a man tell her what to do. When she said "I want someone to tell me what to do," I like what you guys said that her arc is her coming back to life. I kept thinking of what the therapist said - do you want to fuck a priest or do you want to fuck god? Like she wants to trade us for a god to tell her how to live an unfettered/unconfused/safe life. And she needs to let go of both us and the fantasy of choices that can shield her from loss. I think letting herself love despite the risk of losing might be some of her journey in season two. Love watching along! It's a great way to be forced to analyze a piece of art. Different viewing experience.

A lot of powerful moments in this episode. When Fleabag's inner monologue comes out ("His beautiful neck"), the priest looking directly at the camera, and of course the confession booth. I still don't know how to feel about that scene, but I think that's the point: it creates complicated feelings.

Thank you! This is our first time watching this amazing show, so we very well could miss something. This season very much feel like redemption and her acceptance of love.

Right? Oh, I feel so good every time the two of them are on screen. They have amazing chemistry and it is my favorite part of the show.

I remember feeling so shocked the first time the Priest looked directly at us - I got chills all over. And I think you’re right: he’s picking up on her fourth-wall breaking because he sees her better than most people do. So looking forward to your reactions to the next two episode - but also so sad that the show is nearly over!

We are super sad too! Luckily this show is super rewatchable so we will be watching it alot in our freetime!
