Season 2, Episode 5: Going For Gold

While there's still some politics to go over, Brooke quickly gets into the only thing that seems to be unifying the nation — or is it?? — the Olympics. While the Opening Ceremony admittedly was bonkers (but maybe in the best of ways…), America is once again divided, and this time, over whether a tableau featuring drag queens et al. in the ceremony was an homage to the Greek god Dionysus (it was confirmed that it was) or an outrageously triggering parody of The Last Supper that has the Christians up in arms. Was there a ménage à trois as well??? Answer, yes. But we also have the US women dominating the medals, our favorite new Clark Kent aka Stephen Nedoroscik, hype man extraordinaire Flavor Flav, and surfers and Colin Jost surviving Tahiti. That and a lot more, including Robert Downey Jr.’s return to the Marvel universe.
