Tonight’s episode of Sensible Minds was a little bit of a wild one. 5 women from the identical faculty are seemingly pregnant – sure, on the identical time. You’d assume that this was some type of “pregnancy pact” that all of them selected, however no, that’s not the case right here. Why? As a result of neither of them are literally pregnant. They solely assume that they’re.
When Sarah is available in for an ultrasound, the sonographer has Carol and Oliver are available to watch. With each cause to be confused, Oliver has no concept why he was requested to watch till he sees that there’s, in actual fact, no child. Now that is the place issues acquired a bit odd to me: Sarah’s physique was reacting in a method that actually made her consider she was pregnant. She regarded like she was in her second trimester and her hormones triggered her to really feel her physique “preparing for a baby”. After her appointment, 4 different women meet her squealing in pleasure at their future bundles of pleasure that can by no means come.

Now, how is it that their faculty has failed them so badly that they’ve satisfied themselves that they’re pregnant with out the… regular exercise it takes to create this actuality? That’s the one factor that I saved considering all through this episode, however then once more the thoughts is such a fancy factor that I can’t maintain it towards these younger women; one thing is certainly up.

Oliver and his crew return to the highschool with (Mandy Moore’s “Candy” taking part in on this scene was pure nostalgic pleasure for me so thanks!) the aim of discovering out what occurred to the ladies and if the rationale all of them consider they’re pregnant might be as a consequence of a shared traumatic occasion. We come to seek out out that these women discovered “WitchTok” and forged a spell to make all of them pregnant. Please think about me breaking the fourth wall after I heard that. It will get even higher; the rationale they acquired to “WitchTok” and tried to get themselves pregnant is as a result of their pal Samantha, who actually was pregnant, needed to depart the varsity and thus separated from the group. They didn’t need her to really feel alone in order that they casted a spell to conjure up their pregnancies. Bear in mind after I stated Sarah’s physique was reacting in a method that made her consider she was pregnant? Effectively, being that she was the closest to Samantha, shedding her pal hit her rather a lot more durable, and that stress triggered pseudocyesis: a false being pregnant.

What I totally loved about this episode was studying extra about Oliver’s father. Up till now (admittedly I may’ve missed one thing) I believed that his father was useless. Tonight’s episode led me to consider that he could have been misplaced this complete time. By means of Oliver’s flashbacks we be taught that whereas tenting within the woods, his father wandered off, leaving Oliver to fend for himself. As time handed, Oliver grew involved, however stayed in place hoping that his father would come again for him. It isn’t till an officer finds him that he realizes his father was gone. That was the final time Oliver noticed his father and that breaks my coronary heart. It’s no surprise he cares for his sufferers the best way he does. I want that in time he is ready to do one thing for himself and permit himself to be glad reasonably than hiding behind his work.
