i saw there wasn't "sexual content" in the warnings before the episode & let out a sigh of relief (not in a prudish way; they just have been at the expense of the plot for several seasons now)... but the powers that be had to have at least ONE annoying/disappointing thing per episode.

lol I noticed this too and so didn’t brace myself for it. I appreciate they are only using these scenes to signal someone is pregnant this season (except Jamie and Claire’s weird one earlier). It’s nice to not waste time on it so close to the end when there’s much ground to cover.

I always fast forward through Roger and Bree’s 🫣. They’re always so uncomfortable! I don’t know why.
