In last week’s debut of “Unity,” we witnessed a clash between adulthood—embodied by the married couple, Jake and Emily—and the perpetual adolescence of Zoe, Emily’s carefree sister, and Max, Jake’s laid-back best friend. This week, however, the narrative shifts towards a playful battle of the sexes, with the women clearly taking the lead.
Zoe Steps Up
Despite her carefree lifestyle, Zoe emerges as the most proactive member of the group this week. After Emily confides that her intimate moments with Jake have become routine—Jake’s go-to move is placing a pillow under Emily’s head before they get intimate—Zoe encourages Emily to embrace her hidden fantasies and announces she’ll take the kids out for the evening so Emily and Jake can reignite their passion.
Zoe’s next mission is Max. Finding him napping on the couch during the day, she splashes cold water on him and convinces him to assist with her party-planning venture by flashing him a quick view of her assets. It works—one brief distraction and Max is up and ready to help. Zoe’s unconventional tactics may raise eyebrows, but she’s determined to get things done.
While babysitting that evening, Zoe and Max end up at a lively pizza place for kids, complete with a bouncy castle, and surprisingly, they start having fun. Still on a mission to elevate his status, Zoe tells Max that his thinning hair resembles a comma rather than his claimed “intentional style.” She decides to train him to land leading roles, successfully persuading him to toss his pizza aside, although this transformation seems like it will be a challenge.
Jake and Emily’s Awkward Encounter
Jake’s dedication as a sound technician on a low-budget TV show goes unappreciated. Following a dispute with the director, who opts for unrealistic sound effects instead of the authentic recordings Jake painstakingly captured, he finds himself sidelined for the day.
Returning home, Jake is greeted by Emily, dressed provocatively in a form-fitting black dress and fishnets, yet they struggle to connect within the realm of fantasy. Jake’s requests for a snack and his desire to collaborate on the role-playing are met with Emily’s attempts to assert her dominance. With a new lock installed on the bedroom door, she urges him to submit, but they waver between reality and fantasy: Emily wants Jake to stop talking and follow her lead, while Jake craves a sense of partnership and even asks for a banana to curb his hunger.
The evening seems to take a steamy turn when Emily playfully spanks Jake, who appears intrigued, but everything comes crashing down when she inadvertently strikes a sensitive area, leaving them on the couch with Jake applying a frozen treat to soothe his injury.
Most Symbolic Moment of Gen-X Life
Emily dressing up, applying dark eyeliner, and singing along to “Let’s Go to Bed” by The Cure with her gurgling baby nearby.
Best Description of Max’s Laziness
Emily explains to Zoe that Max sleeping on the sofa at noon is akin to “a beached whale situation: you have to wait for the tide to come wash him back in gently.”
Best Quantification of Zoe’s Teasing
Zoe tells Max her flashing will be a “Mardi Gras moment: ‘throw me something, mister’ and then it’s over.”
