THESE THEMS

Confused as to why she gets nauseous during sex, Gretchen visits the gyno where she meets non-binary dogwalker Vero, who has serious anxiety at the doctor’s office. Gretchen looks to her best friend Kevin for advice while Vero calls their bestie Asher for emotional support. We follow the very different experiences of Gretchen and Vero during their appointments.

Kevin unpacks Gretchen’s possible queerness at NYC’s oldest lesbian bar, Henrietta Hudsons. Asher makes the decision not to out himself at work and meets up with Vero, who is newly committed to “training the straights." Kevin flirts with Asher while Vero suggests a plan to Gretchen that may help them both out on their journeys.

Gretchen gets schooled by Vero about the queer spectrum. Kevin and Asher go on a first date. Vero and Gretchen venture back to Henrietta Hudson’s in an effort to get Gretchen laid. She flirts and fails before meeting T.I., the hot DJ at the lesbian bar.

Gretchen and T.I. have a steamy first night together. Vero accidentally throws a party while Asher is house-sitting. Kevin comes to the party to meet Asher, where Asher reveals something he hadn’t disclosed before.

Gretchen and Kevin discuss Gretchen’s hookup. Kevin is confronted by Gretchen about his transphobia. The two meet up with Vero and Asher at a gender identity party that, unbenownst to them, is not nearly as queer as they thought.

Gretchen gives T.I. an unexpected visit only to find that they had company. Sobbing, she meets up with Vero at a pop-up queer burlesque class. Kevin educates himself on trans issues and Asher makes a decision about coming out at work. In the burlesque class, Gretchen reclaims her sexuality in a brassy musical number.

In the Season 1 finale, we see how our core four are navigating their week. Gretchen has… a LOT of sex. Vero plans for their new queer party at Three Dollar Bill in Bushwick. Kevin devises a way to win Asher back. Asher experiences what it’s like being out as trans at work. The four main characters come together at Vero’s party, which includes another musical number, lots of feelings, and - spoiler alert - a happy ending.
