Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist Episode 6

Running out of steam half way through

Script wise this was a weird episode: after a strong start impying we'll see Jay and Captain competing against each other to win Sant's favors, once Jay declared that he won't back down - he backed down and stayed passive for the rest of the episode. Not only did he not compete with Captain - he basically gave up on doing anything (inviting Sant to watch Nanon's movie was the exception), allowing events to unfold for an unspecified period, which could have been a week or a month - the episode gave us no clues regarding that. On the other hand we had Captain and Sant spending more and more time together - and all of the sudden Captain not only stopped pursuing Sant, but made a U turn and helped his rival, by giving Sant a lift. tldr: both Jay and Captain gave up on pursuing Sant, which made no sense storywise and resulted in the episode losing its driving force. Mark, Ohm and Jimmy really deserved better material to work with; this episode's script was less than filler - it was a waste of everyone's time.
