A family's reunion with their daughter after eight years reveals her in a grotesque state, leading to a slow-paced horror narrative.
Their long-distance, slow-burn situationship is well portrayed through a montage at the beginning of the episode that spans 2014 to 2016. We see them continue to text, Ilya partying and Shane shooting brand deals, and both checking their calendars for the next game they have against each other. Those games are intercut with glimpses of the sex they're having afterwards, and after Shane wins two cups, Ilya texts him, "The only cup you'll have next year is the one I'll take off with my mouth."
