Ep 4. That Was Fun

In the fourth episode of "I May Destroy You" season 1, titled "That Was Fun," Arabella (played by Michaela Coel) and Terry (Weruche Opia) decide to take a break from working on their respective book and screenplays. They head out to a party where Terry meets a charming man named Theo (Harvey Guillén) who is both intelligent and hilarious. Arabella, on the other hand, struggles to connect with anyone and feels out of place among the party-goers.

As the night progresses, Arabella finds herself getting increasingly drunk and high on drugs. She has a brief sexual encounter with a man in a bathroom stall, and when she tells Terry about it, Terry is supportive but cautious, warning her about the dangers of casual sex.

Meanwhile, Theo and Terry hit it off and end up leaving the party together. Arabella heads home alone, feeling both exhilarated and ashamed of her actions. When she wakes up the next morning, she can't remember everything that happened the previous night and tries to piece together the events of the party.

Throughout the episode, there are flashbacks to Arabella's experiences with casual sex and drug use, where she struggles to find a balance between living in the moment and protecting herself from harm. She confronts her own perceptions of sex and consent, as well as the peer pressure that comes with trying to fit in with a certain social group.

"That Was Fun" highlights the themes of the series, which explore the complexities of consent, sexual assault, and rape culture. It also showcases the show's unique blend of humor and drama, with moments of levity contrasted against more serious subject matter.

Overall, episode 4 of "I May Destroy You" is a thought-provoking and engaging exploration of modern relationships and intimacy, and the ways in which our experiences shape our perceptions of ourselves and others.
