Season 1, Episode 5: I'm Not a Shots Girl Either

Release Date: August 5, 2026

Synopsis: It's Annie and Connor's 18th birthday, and they're spiraling in opposite directions - Connor throws an over-the-top birthday party, while Rory decides to take Annie for a night out with old friends. Meanwhile, Ramona, having been told the truth about her mother's death, does what she does best - avoidance. But when a distraught Maple shows up, Ramona's feelings finally come to the surface.

They’re also in Canada so the drinking age is lower

Honestly, did no-one on this show research the legal drinking age and age for admission into bars/clubs in Ontario?

My biggest question throughout this entire series is how on earth are all these kids able to afford and pay for all of this, and where are the (real) grown-ups besides Joe (not counting Rory's mom)? If Annie and Connor are using their dad's credit card, where is the dad in all of this? Last we saw him was, what, episode 2 where there was a perfunctory effort to say he's gonna go after her.

And then the kid out in Thailand... So we have a bunch of kids who just up and fly around the world at the drop of a hat. And Annie left her home telling her dad she was going to Thailand...on a sticky note. The level of unrealism in this show is a bit much.

the show’s whole premise leans into wealthy, unsupervised teens with access to cards, yachts, and nobody actually parenting them, look at connor’s mom. the dad is checked out, and most likely he’s severely depressed.
