Where did we leave off with Sex Education season 2? Well, Jean and Otis are on the rocks over Otis’ sex clinic, Maeve and Otis are on the rocks about Otis’ behavior towards Maeve after she confessed her love for him, Maeve and her mother are on the rocks after Maeve calls social services to report her for drug use — it’s a bit of a mess, really.
It’s not all terrible, though. Eric and Adam appear to have finally met each other at the right time — even if it meant sort of sabotaging an oddly sexual school musical and hurting Eric’s now-ex-boyfriend Rahim in the process — and the announcement video highlights their relationship. The final painting in the clip is of both boys together, and while looking upon it, Petrie waxes poetic and wonders where the future will lead Eric and Adam on their rocky journey, which began on season 1 when Adam initiated a steamy encounter with Eric during the season finale. In a show of true still-life symbolism, there’s a broken vase in the background of the painting, and Eric has one piece on the table before him. Is it meant to symbolize Rahim’s potentially broken heart, or the damage between Eric and Adam that they have wrought themselves?
The juiciest nugget presented by the Sex Education season 3 announcement video comes from the good doctor herself. Petrie pauses before Jean’s portrait, appearing thoughtful, then looks to the camera and declares that the pomegranate featured in the background of the painting is an age-old symbol of fertility. Season 2 of the series revealed that Jean is pregnant — and after a stormy bit of indecision on her part between her ex-husband Remi (James Purefoy) and her nouveau beau Jakob (Mikael Persbrandt), is there some baby-daddy drama on the horizon?
As new info about Sex Education season 3 surfaces, we’ll be sure to let you know all about it.
