Previous: Episode 2.6: Yep, they had sex. Plus Judy grows a heart, Torsten a brain, and Amber the noive. With an orgasmic bonus
I originally entitled this review "Torsten gets..... it.....up," but it drew the wrath of the censors, so..
Kelvin and Keefe have returned to the God Squad, but muscleman Torsten (Brock O'Hurn) challenges their authority. He's the strongest, so he should be the ruler.
The Second Cross-Raising Test: This time the contestants not only have to carry the gigantic phallic symbol, they have to push nto an upright position. So whoever achieves a proper erection is the leader. And it goes on like that. What do you expect from a society dedicated to homoerotic desire?
First Torstein tries, and succeeds! "He got it up!" Liam exclaims. A proper erection!
It's Kelvin's turn, but since he is injured, Keefe goes in his stead. First he strips to his jock strap. "You don't have to...." Kelvin begins, but then he likes what he sees and says "Ok."Keefe tries, but staggers under the heavy weight. A concerned boyfriend, Kelvin yells "Get it off him!", and the contest ends.
Moderator Sky (Joel Rush, left and below) asks: "Do you concede?"
Kelvin kneels and indicates that he does. Torsten achieved the best erection, so he will now lead the God Squad.
Sky: "Clean your underwears out of the master. Torsten stays there now."
Two questions: Why underwear, and not all of his clothes? Because underwear has a sexual connotation. Kelvin's erotic supremacy is over.
Why underwears? Usually underwear is a mass noun, like water or rice. It doesn't have a plural. Sky is referring to two sets of underwear, Kelvin's and Keefe's. They share the master bedroom, so both are ejected.
Jesse tries to man up: Jesse and the family watch Wonder Woman (har-har) and discuss who shot the Cycle Ninja. Everybody thinks that it was Amber, which Jesse continues to find emasculating. Amber mollifies him: you were trying to help. You're just a terrible shot. This was not a symbolic castration, but we can still find a parallel with Kelvin's loss of power with the God Squad.
She continues, whispering in his ear like Lady Macbeth: Why do you need your Daddy's permission. You're a man, aren't you? Take care of the Junior problem yourself: "Just do it. Send a fucking message."
Left: Justin Deeley as Macbeth
Inspired by a painting of David and Goliath, he distributes slingshots to the men's group and asks for volunteers to go to Memphis and "beat the shit out of some guys." He needs a second chance to "be a man."
