In the latest episode of Unity, the series explores the clash between adulthood—represented by married couple Mark and Lisa—and the resistance to maturity embodied by Zoe, Lisa’s carefree sister, and Jake, Mark’s laid-back best friend. This week, the narrative shifts towards a confrontation between the sexes, and the women clearly emerge victorious.
Zoe Takes the Lead
Despite her chaotic party-girl persona, Zoe surprises everyone by displaying the most decisiveness among the group. After Lisa confesses her intimate life with Mark has become mundane—Mark’s idea of excitement is merely adjusting a pillow for her comfort—Zoe encourages Lisa to reveal her dominatrix dreams. She boldly announces her intention to take the kids out that very night, granting Lisa and Mark the chance to rekindle their romance.
Zoe’s other endeavor involves Jake. Discovering him dozing on the couch in the afternoon, she douses him with cold water and entices him into helping her with her event planning business by flashing him. It’s effective—within moments, Jake is up and ready to assist. Her unconventional strategies may raise eyebrows, but Zoe is determined to make progress.
While on babysitting duty, Zoe and Jake find themselves at a lively children’s pizza venue, complete with a bouncy castle, where they actually enjoy each other’s company. Yet, Zoe isn’t finished with her “Empower Yourself” mission; she comments on Jake’s thinning hair, comparing it to a punctuation mark rather than the “intentional look” he claims to sport. She decides to train him for leading man roles, managing to persuade him to toss his pizza aside, but it’s clear that this transformation will be a challenge.
Mark and Lisa’s Unsuccessful Evening
Mark’s dedication as a sound technician for a cheesy television show goes unrecognized. Following a disagreement with the director, who chooses to use unrealistic wolf howls instead of the coyote sounds Mark recorded, he finds himself sidelined for the day.
Returning home, he discovers Lisa in a revealing black dress and fishnets. However, their role-playing session fails to align. Mark craves a sandwich and wishes to participate in crafting the fantasy, while Lisa insists on dominating him. She has even installed a new chain lock on the bedroom door, trying to coax him into submission. Their back-and-forth blurs the lines between reality and fantasy: Lisa urges Mark to stop talking and follow her lead, while Mark wants to feel a partnership and asks for a banana to stave off his energy dip.
Things take a turn when Lisa attempts to spank Mark, and while he seems to be enjoying it, the moment backfires when she accidentally strikes him in a sensitive area. They ultimately wind up on the couch, watching television, Mark applying a Strawberry Shortcake ice pack for relief.
Most Symbolic Gen-X Moment
Lisa, getting ready, adorns herself with dramatic black eyeliner while singing along to “Let’s Go to Bed” by The Cure, her gurgling baby nearby.
Best Description of Jake’s Laziness
Lisa likens Jake sprawled on the couch at noon to “a beached whale situation: you have to wait for the tide to gently wash him back.”
Best Measure of Zoe’s Boob Flashing Duration
Zoe tells Jake it will be a “Mardi Gras flash: ‘throw me something, mister’ and then down.”
