Robert: "I'm honoured to meet my brother's better half and clearly his better looking half."
Brian: "Well, not quite half."
After last week's episode solidifying a throuple scenario for Max, Avery and Tristan, this episode was for the gays and introduced a throuple that would be more impacting on Robert. Though that wasn't a negative impact.
Robert's younger brother, Craig (John Stamos) boarded The Odyssey for Gay Week and with him came two lovers - Brian (Cheyenne Jackson) and Riley (Johnny Sibilly) for good measure. All three being recovering alcoholics and throughout the episode, all three being shown to genuinely love each other. That wasn't the issue for Robert.
The issue instead was the fact that it appeared that Craig appeared to be going off the wagon and when he hit his head, there was a lot of alcohol in his bloodstream. The actual reason behind it though was a bit more unexpected than a simple relapse but at least the episode ended with Robert and Craig on better terms with each other.
Of course they weren't the only ones focused on during Gay Week. There was a straight couple who had their baby,a bunch of TikTok influencers who got quite a bad dose due to sweet potatoes and there was Marsha (Caldwell Tidicue). For Marsha, her wig caught fire but it led to a defiant performance at the end.
As for the throuple this week - Avery was the only one who wanted to maintain the arrangement. Both Max and Tristan got cold feet and for very similar reasons too. However going by next week's trailer, there will be bigger consequences to that one night stand that Avery wanted a repeat performance of.
- Max is a daddy, Avery a femme, Tristan a twunk, Robert a silver fox, Corey a twink and Rosie a masc.
- Tristan really laid it on thick about his love for Avery, complete with a comparison to Tikka Masala crisps. Did him and Vivian break up between episodes?
- Standout music: Marsha lipsynched I'm Coming Out to close out the episode.
- Chronology: Not long from the events of the previous episode.
Oh, Daddy! was fun but definitely could've been a bit gayer, lol. No, the guest throuple were great but there was a bit of a missed opportunity with the recurring LGBT characters and the main throuple soured quicker than expected. Max and Tristan's rivalry even got out of hand in this one.
Rating: 7 out of 10
