  "account": "In Adults Season 2, Episode 7 titled \"C Alert,\" Anton (Owen Thiele) unintentionally uses a strong term during a company meeting and the most explicit scene in the series also showcases the most romantic gesture. Anton's co-worker and love interest Paul Baker (Jack Innanen) attempts to normalize the term by announcing it on television talk shows, which results in a heartfelt moment. Anton expresses his gratitude with a simple \"Paul Baker, thank you,\" accompanied by a meaningful gaze. The episode is described as an \"ugly sweet\" step in the romance, and while it is risky due to social taboos, it is the most genuine expression of affection for the pair. Adults Season 2 is available on Hulu.",
