I Just Need Some Company

Tracey feels unwanted, after meeting Emma, Connor's girlfriend. Boy Tracy, Tracey's cousin, talks her into going to a party with him. Candace and her boyfriend go with them. Tracey's mother is planning a meeting for her church in the community where she lives but gets some push back from the local government. The party that Tracey, Candace, Boy Tracy, and Candance boyfriend go to turns out to be a sex party. Tracey is conflicted but decides to go in to the party. Things don't so quite how Tracey imagined they might

Thoughts

This was a decent episode. The part with Tracey's mother was the weaker part of the episode. I was surprised by how far they pushed the envelope at the sex party.

Replacements

Tracey's mother puts conditions on her moving back in. Tracey tries to fulfill those conditions and fails miserably.

Candice tries to replace Tracey with Cynthis, Tracey's younger sister. She gives it a go but it doesn't work out.

Tracey replaces Conor with Ash, a guy she meets while trying to hand out fliers for the church where her mother worships. Ash isn't open about it, at first, but he has a fetish for black women.

Thoughts

Jonathan Bailey played the part of Ash. I have also seen him in Crashing, where he was part of the regular cast of the show.

WTF Happened?

Three months have passed since the end of Season One. Tracey has a job working in a convenience store. She hasn't seen Connor in a few months. She sees pictures of him with another woman. Connor stops by the shop. He wants to talk. She tries to make like she has a celebrity boyfriend, Stormzy. She gets help from her cousin Ola faking the celebrity boyfriend routine. 

Thoughts

It has been about six years since I watched the first season. I think it was on Netflix at the time. I took a break from Chewing Gum after I finished the first season. The show was pulled from Netflix soon after that. It's available on Hoopla now. That's how I watched this episode.
