Sex/Life season 2 recap guide: All episodes explained (spoilers)
By Mads Lennon
Sex/Life season 2, episode 6 recap: Heavenly Day
The Sex/Life season 2 finale definitely feels like a series finale, so I’m curious if the show will be renewed or if they’re going to leave it as is. Everyone gets their happy ending, and I just don’t really see a need for a third season. But it does take a while to get there. This episode is stuffed with big moments as it nears a runtime of one hour.
As I suspected, Sex/Life season 2, episode 6, picks up in the aftermath of Cooper’s crash. Devon is escorted to the ER and the two escorts, Piper and Bianca, are seen standing by the wreckage in blankets. Cooper gets off mostly injury-free besides a few scratches, but he does get arrested, and Billie has to bail him out. Realizing things are a little crazy right now, Majid respectfully tells Billie he’s going to head home.
Once Billie and Cooper are alone, Cooper finally crumbles, sobbing in Billie’s arms as he admits the pain he’s in from realizing that Billie is the love of his life, but he’s not the love of hers.
To Cooper’s credit, the crash does seem to knock some sense into him. He tries to get his life back on track, attending AA meetings and refraining from random casual sex. He even tells Devon that he’s considering calling his ex, Emily, to reconnect.
Speaking of Devon, Sex/Life couldn’t go out without a bang, and the writers clearly wanted to top the highly talked about full-frontal shower scene from season 1. This time around, they have Devon model his newly reconstructed penis for Devon and the other guys in the locker room. It turns out that when Devon crashed, one of the escorts was in the midst of going down on him and the accident caused her to bite his penis off.
Was that Jonathan Sadowski’s real penis?
Devon has the whole thing reconstructed, complete with an inner penile implant that lets him pump it up—and yes, he does show the whole thing in all its glory. Showing an erect penis on TV is still pretty taboo, and Sex/Life does it twice in one season, but Devon’s whole thing definitely takes the cake. It’s a pretty wild scene from start to finish and absurd in its hilarity.
If the show does return for a third season, I’d be curious to see how they top that.
Regrouping with Sasha, she and Kam get into a huge fight regarding the potential for Singapore. As much as Sasha wants to be with Kam, she doesn’t think it’s fair that he’s the one always asking her to pack up her entire life and move. Why can’t he do it for a change? Surely he could manage the operation from New York. Kam points out that even if he did do that, would she finally stand up to Mick?
It’s been about a month since the previous episode, and in that time, they’ve been dating in a weird no man’s land, essentially hiding their relationship, which, as we know, is not something Kam wants. Sasha has some decisions to make.
Later, she attends a big conference where she delivers a powerful speech about her independence and motivating women to live life on their own terms in honor of her new book Unattached. The whole thing goes off phenomenally well, and Sasha’s grandmother is there to support her.
But after talking to Billie and considering her future, Sasha realizes that she still wants to be with Kam. Why can’t she try to have it all? The career and the man? Her gran is apprehensive of this as she thinks Sasha going to Kam is hypocritical, but Sasha points out that maybe living life on her own terms means pursuing love.
She finally stands up to Mick and basically tells him to get f**ked, informing him that if he wants to be her agent, he’ll have to support her next book, Sustained by Love. Then she races to the airport to tell Kam she’s leaving with him. But Kam informs Sasha that she can’t come to Singapore with him because he’s staying in New York for her. Awe! That’s so cute. I love them together.
Elsewhere, Billie is trying to give Majid another chance to get to know her kids. In the month since the accident, they’ve mostly gone back to how things used to be, just staying at the New York apartment as Billie keeps her two lives separate. Majid offers to take Hudson to a Yankees game and Billie agrees. She can’t go because she’s attending Sasha’s book event, but she allows Majid to take her son for the day. Honestly, I thought that was a bit strange considering Hudson only met Majid one time, but whatever.

Majid and Hudson never make it to the baseball game because Majid gets a panicked call from one of his coworkers about someone calling out last minute. He’s forced to go to the restaurant and take Hudson with him, promising that it will only be for a few minutes. But at the restaurant, Hudson wanders into the kitchen, distracting one of the chefs who then starts a fire. Spooked, Hudson takes off in a panic and disappears into the New York night.
Billie and Cooper are a wreck when they get to the restaurant. Luckily, Brad is there to save the day since he’s always popping up randomly (to be fair, Majid calls all the investors about the fire). With Brad’s help, Billie tracks Hudson down to the park where they went with Majid before.
The entire incident is a wake-up call for Billie. She and Majid realize they aren’t right for each other. Majid wants to continue to keep their lives separate because he does love Billie, but he’s never wanted to be a father. But that’s not enough for Billie, she wants to be with someone who she doesn’t have to hide parts of herself from.
As for Cooper, seeing Brad and Billie interact again seems to encourage him to find his own happiness. He shows up at Emily’s apartment on her birthday and gives her a big speech about how he’s a better man and everything now and would she please give him another chance.
They kiss, and Emily says that her birthday wish came true. Okay, that was too corny even for me. Like bro, they ran into each other one time and haven’t spoken for months, and suddenly all is right as rain again? Sure.
Anyway, there’s another time skip/montage where everyone is happy and moving on with their lives, Cooper and Emily are great, and Cooper tells Billie he’s going to propose to her. Billie also attends Kam and Sasha’s wedding, and guess who shows up? Brad. He confesses his love to Billie, and they get together again finally. The season ends with Brad and Billie getting married and all of their friends in attendance. Even better, on their wedding day, standing at the altar, Billie tells Brad she’s pregnant. And they all lived happily ever after.
