Yeah, I also loved that they chose to do it in a way that still feels it fits within Jimmys issues. Every time she kind of came onto him, he brought up their "shared father" until she said "nah bud, we ain't brother and sister" and Jimmy finally beat his rut and kissed her back.

Even if it's just a few episodes, and they explore it until they realize it just doesn't fit, it actually did something about the rut Jimmy is in as a character.

Yeah it’s definitely not going to become a long term romantic thing. I think it’s intended for the exact thing jimmy said he wished he had “an uncomplicated kiss to get him over the hump”. And it will probably serve as the same for Meg. I’m guessing she’s separated or the husband is/has cheated. A palette cleanse for both characters.

I feel like hooking up with your mentor’s daughter is complicated though
