Hella Shook: What Goes On Insecure?!

Source: HBO

This week's episode of Insecure was properly named-- it had all of hella shook. After trying to recover from last week's episode of pure shenanigans (Lawrence and his threesome, Issa and Daniel reunite, Molly is faced with a proposition from a childhood friend) aka a plethora of poor decisions, the saga continued.

Because of how relatable the series is, watching EVERYone make these terrible decisions makes one feel like they're watching their best friend make these mistakes. Issa being (back) with Daniel, Lawrence and his social media stalking, completed with Molly and Dro, episode 5 was a large ball of stress. 

First off, I am absolutely here for Issa and her hoe-tation. However, she is breaking rule #1 by having an old fling that she actually has feelings on the roster. That is the quickest way to make your night rides get extremely turbulent. Feelings should be far, far away from all appointments.

Next we have Lawrence. Even after his night of threesome on aisle 3 sexcapades, he still found himself doing a drive-by on Issa's place; proving the theory that "men don't heal, they hoe". However, I want to give a special shoutout to Derek, the friend that we ALL need in times like these. As Lawrence caught himself being emotionally perplexed about seeing Daniel and Issa chatting in a post, Derek quickly brought him back to a sharp reality: there is fault on Lawrence's end as well. No, cheating is not okay. But sitting on your ass for two years, also not conducive to a relationship. Thanks for your wisdom Derek.

Lastly, Molly oh Molly. The stress that was her decision to fold for Dro. Something tells me that this not going to stay at a one night rendzevous--  especially since this is who she broke her celibacy streak for. Open marriage or not, this opened a door that I don't think Molly is ready to walk through.

I'll have a bottle of wine ready for myself to get through next week's episode; I'm sure I'll hella need it.
