In Big Mouth season 1 episode 8, titled "The Head Push," Andrew struggles to deal with his feelings for Missy after she inadvertently gives him a "head push" during a game of Seven Minutes in Heaven at a party. Meanwhile, Nick becomes obsessed with the idea of getting a pimple so he can fit in with his friends, and Jessi begins to explore her sexuality.

As the episode begins, the group of friends are at a party, playing Seven Minutes in Heaven with a spin the bottle. When it's Andrew's turn, the bottle lands on Missy and they are sent into the closet together. While there, Missy accidentally gives Andrew a "head push" - a gesture that involves briefly touching foreheads as a sign of affection - and he becomes convinced that it means she has feelings for him.

As Andrew grapples with these feelings, Nick becomes obsessed with the idea of getting a pimple so he can be "one of the guys" with his friends. He even goes so far as to try rubbing dirt on his face and eating junk food to try and trigger a breakout. Meanwhile, Jessi begins to explore her sexuality by kissing her pillow and having fantasies about her female gym teacher.

As the episode progresses, Andrew becomes increasingly fixated on Missy and the head push, even seeking advice from his hormone monster, Maurice. Maurice encourages Andrew to pursue Missy, but when he tries to talk to her at school, he botches his confession and ends up embarrassing himself. Meanwhile, Nick's attempts to get a pimple finally pay off, but Robby accidentally pops it before he can show it off to his friends.

The episode culminates in an all-school assembly, where Jessi and her classmates are forced to sit through a lecture on sex ed. Feeling uncomfortable and out of place, Jessi sneaks out and has a heart-to-heart conversation with her gym teacher about her feelings. Meanwhile, Andrew finally tells Missy how he feels, but she rejects him, leaving him heartbroken.

Overall, "The Head Push" is a hilarious and heartfelt episode that tackles a range of important issues around puberty and adolescence. From exploring romantic feelings to navigating sexual identity, the characters in Big Mouth are complex and relatable, and the show does an excellent job of capturing the awkwardness and confusion of this stage of life. Fans of the show will no doubt enjoy this episode, and it is sure to leave them eagerly anticipating what's to come in the rest of the season.
