History Series / SexEducation

** When Jean finds out about the sex clinic, she's understandably angry. Otis thinks its because he kept it from her (and she is, as it echoes especially problematic behavior from his father), but her real concern is it's ''TheBlindLeadingTheBlind'': he's 16 and unlicensed, and simply knowing the psychology involved doesn't mean he's qualified to give professional therapeutic advice to classmates. As though to hammer it home, Florence, a young woman struggling to understand her lack of interest in sex, comes to Otis for advice. Not having been fully educated in the spectrum of sexuality (especially asexuality and its various forms), he assumes she is repressing her libido, possibly due to trauma -- the way Otis himself had. This only serves to upset and anger her, and could easily have caused further and more damaging issues had she not been able to speak to Jean shortly afterwards. Jean, being experienced and qualified, very quickly identifies Florence as asexual, and also reassures her that it's a valid way to be.

* BittersweetEnding: The finale of Season 3. [[spoiler:Otis and Maeve have finally realised their mutual attraction and just had a RelationshipUpgrade, but she decides to go to study in America, though she keeps open the possibility of resuming their relationship once she comes back. Eric and Adam break up over Eric's confused feelings for his hookup in Nigeria. Jackson and Cal also decide to put things on hold over their differing ideas of being in a queer relationship. Jean gives birth to a baby girl, but she seems shocked to see the results of the paternity test. Lastly, the Moordale students' protest against Hope has convinced investors to pull all funding from the school, decreeing its closure.]]

** When Jean finds out about the sex clinic, she's understandably angry. Otis thinks its because he kept it from her, but as she points out, he's 16 and unlicensed, and simply knowing the psychology involved doesn't mean he's qualified to give professional therapeutic advice to classmates. She ''is'' upset he's lying to her about it (mostly because his lying is too similar to Remi's), but the main problem is the unethical nature of his clinic. Otis is a smart kid and empathetic and he's genuinely trying to help his classmates, but there really are some issues where there's no substitute for formal education and professional experience. For example, Florence, a young woman struggling to understand her lack of interest in sex, comes to Otis for advice. Not having been fully educated in the spectrum of sexuality (especially asexuality and its various forms), he approaches the issue from a starting point of Florence repressing her libido, possibly due to trauma (the same way Otis previously had). This only serves to upset and anger her, and could easily have caused further and more damaging issues had she not been able to speak to Jean shortly afterwards. Jean, being experienced and qualified, very quickly identifies Florence as Asexual, and also reassures her that it's a valid way to be.

* ContinuityNod: Aimee thought it was gross for girls to masturbate until she tried it on Otis' advice and got ''very'' into it. In the third season, she mentions that she isn't having sex, but is still wanking regularly.

* ADogNamedDog: Aimee adopts a pet goat that she named Goat.

** Secondly, school uniforms are pretty much a normal expectation for secondary schools, which nobody seems to wear in Moordale. Season 3 makes this even more apparent when uniforms ''do'' become a mandatory order, but it's presented as a draconian measure and part of Hope JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope in her desperate bid to control students and the students are all appalled at the idea, but it's something they'd know is normal. Sixth Form students aren't ''typically'' required to wear uniforms because of the more casual nature of things (plus it makes recruitment easier), but everyone's collective disgust and confusion at the mere concept of it makes it apparent this was never the case even when they were in ''genuine'' secondary school level.
