The onslaught of motherhood and the loss of whatever freedom she once enjoyed (and which Brodie’s arrival has reawakened, in a way) has left us feeling adrift. Take Ruthie, who gives the episode its title. And such is the through-line of this sophomore outing, which finds ways of making sex central to how we understand Stephen Dunn’s reimagined QAF characters. Getting off, as it turns out, is on everyone’s minds. And yes, kudos to the QAF team for giving, in true Girls-style, an actual come shot that immediately made me want to ring up the props master to learn how they got the consistency (and the trajectory!) oh so accurate. And soon, they begin coping with the mess that is their lives by making, well, the kind of mess a lot of us make when we want to ignore the life around us. They’re each laying in bed - lounging, more like. Because even as we begin with a dour reminder of what took place all those weeks ago, our cast of characters is otherwise preoccupied. It’s apt that the first lyrics we hear in the second episode of Queer As Folk, which takes place six weeks after the tragedy at Babylon, are “Hot, hot, hot” (courtesy of Last Artful, Dodgr’s “Hot”).
