I really did not enjoy this episode. It felt like mostly all filler to me. There are so many actually important things going on right now and we got an episode where the kids through a party and Stef is a bitch? I need more.

So, Stef and Lena are supposed to go on a babymoon (which Stef mocks- no surprise there), but they don't have a babysitter for the kids so they decide to cancel. But, Callie and Brandon convince them they can be in charge so they decide to go.

As soon as they get there, Stef is complaining. First about how small the room is (it's a goddamn suite), then about how they might charge them if they even open the fridge (there would be a warning), and then she fucking leaves to go buy snacks. WTF Stef. This relationship (but Stef in general in it, is really starting to grate on me). Lena is obviously disappointed, but seems willing to try to roll with it at first.

When Stef gets back, they get a couple's massage (which we've already had an issue with how much it might cost) and while Lena is trying to relax during it, Stef is busy giving her masseuse the third degree instead of just enjoying it. And poor Lena does not seem pleased about this.

After they get back to the hotel room, Lena suggests they watch some lesbian porn to get them in the mood and guess what Stef does? Yup. Mocks it. Lena has had enough and leaves her in the bedroom and goes to take a bath. I cannot handle this. They 100% need to fix this relationship. They just fight (or mostly don't talk- via Stef) 90% of the time and are only happy for the makeup period. Although, I would really like to point out that while Stef sucks at communicating with Lena, she is really good at it with the kids. She's a great mom even if she's a shitty wife.

Back at the house, Brandon and Mariana have accidentally thrown a party. It was just supposed to be a few people over to listen to Brandon and the new band, but it sort of got out of control. They've got a house full of drunk, loud, high schoolers. But, Callie is determined to not let them mess up anything She and Wyatt are inside patrol; only letting one person in at a time to use the bathroom, but everyone else must stay outside.

It mostly works until Mariana is tasked with taking care of one of the drunk dance squad members. Callie allows her to bring this one girl inside, but she ends up passing out and puking in Stef and Lena's bed. Fun.

While that is happening, Connor's dad shows up looking for Connor. Apparently, he snuck out when he heard Jude was having a party (and his dad doesn't want him around Jude since he thinks Jude is gay). Although, he told Jude he stood up to his dad and told him Jude was his friend no matter what his dad thought. So, he ends up needing to sneak back out. I assume he'll be talking to Stef and Lena about this party at some point.

Jesus ends up hooking up with one of the girls from the dance team. But, while searching for a condom, he accidentally butt dials Lena. Afterwards, she ends up calling all the kids back trying to get one on the phone. But, they meet up and talk to Stef and Lena on speaker, claiming everything is fine and they just watching a movie. Stef and Lena assume they are having a party, but just hope it all ends up well the next day.

And it seems they would have gotten away with it, if it wasn't for those meddling kids who crashed the porch swing into the window and shattered it. Thankfully, Wyatt seems to know enough about construction that he can fix the window. It looks like they might get away with this.

But either way, there is so much going on right now that I just want to focus on that stuff!
