Darling Readers, I have a new theory about the Jordan/Perez thing.

Let me back up— after the “365 Degrees” episode, I have a new theory about the Jordan/Perez thing but particularly about Jordan.

Let me back up even further… I have a new theory BUT I’ll get to it a little later in the post BECAUSE I’m still kicking myself for not realizing the gigantic spoiler that was right there in the title of this episode! In the name(s) of David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Jerry Harrison, and Chris Franz, how did I fail to recognize that 365 Degrees is a lyric from “Burning Down the House”??

I mean, I know the song is 40 years old and I’m not a massive Talking Heads fan, but I’ve had this tremedous remix on my playlist for quite a while (check it out while you read!)

SO— to make up for this oversight, AND to take note of what seems to be a full-on ‘Heads homage (the choir at the end of the episode was singing “This Must Be The Place,” which originated on the same album as “Burning…”), I’m assigning other carefully selected lyrics from this U.S. classic to represent different story arcs from the episode. And even though the lyrics are somewhat nonsensical in nature, I’m going to present them in order. Follow all that?

By the way… they ^^^ may be trying to pretend the shower sighting never happened, but WE will never forget it. Comic perfection!

And— it’s nice to know shower sex is still a thing for Shea, even (especially?) while Lea is pregnant.

Could make this whole vibrator conversation with Lea a lot more relevant, though… Just sayin’.

“When I wrote the lyrics in 1982, the title phrase was a metaphor for destroying something safe that entrapped you. I envisioned the song as an expression of liberation, to break free from whatever was holding you back,” said David Byrne about “Burning Down the House.”

I think that’s an interesting metaphor to keep in mind as this development progresses, don’t you?
