Santa Clarita Diet Season 1 Episode 7 Strange or Just Inconsiderate?

Joel and Sheila are still dealing with the aftermath of the incident with Gary, and their relationship is strained. Meanwhile, Abby is struggling with the return of her mother and the changes in her behavior. She confides in Eric, who continues to have feelings for her.

In an attempt to get their family back on track, Joel and Sheila agree to attend a dinner party with some of their neighbors. However, things quickly go awry when they discover that one of their hosts is a Nazi sympathizer. While trying to avoid their racist remarks, Sheila ends up eating a piece of meat that had been marinating in pure formaldehyde, causing her body to start deteriorating even faster.

Desperate to reverse the effects of the formaldehyde, Joel and Sheila turn to the only person they can think of who might have a solution – their undead friend, Mr. Ball Legs. He suggests that Sheila consume some of his flesh to counteract the formaldehyde. Despite her initial reluctance, Sheila ultimately agrees to try it, and it seems to work – her body stops deteriorating.

Meanwhile, Abby and Eric attend a party together, and Abby gets drunk for the first time. She ends up making out with a classmate, but ultimately decides that she's not ready for a relationship yet. Eric is disappointed, but supportive of her choice.

Back at the dinner party, the situation with the Nazi sympathizer escalates when he pulls a gun on one of the other guests. Joel and Sheila manage to disarm him, but not before Sheila is shot in the arm. They make a run for it, but are eventually caught by the police.

In jail, Sheila's deteriorating condition becomes even more apparent, and Joel realizes that they need to find a way to stop her from eating people before it's too late. He reaches out to a doctor who might be able to help them, but she turns out to be more interested in studying Sheila for scientific research than curing her.

In the end, Sheila's condition reaches a critical point, and she's rushed to the hospital. Abby and Eric come to visit her, but are turned away by Joel, who wants to keep them out of harm's way. As Sheila lies in critical condition, Joel is left to ponder the choices he's made and the consequences they've had for their family.

Overall, "Strange or Just Inconsiderate?" is a tense and emotionally charged episode that explores the limits of Joel and Sheila's relationship, as well as their ongoing struggles with Sheila's undead status.
