Were Our Prayers Finally Answered In Last Night’s Fleabag?

Spoiler alert: yes, they were!

Updated on5th April 2019 at 2.49pm

Good news: Fleabag, as per, was bloody incredible last night. Bad news: we only have one more episode of Fleabagleft in series two, meaning we only have one more episode to find out what will actually happen between the anti-heroine of our hearts andThe Hot Priest.Because, spoiler alert, in last night’s episode, they actually get it on. Properly get it on. It's a sharp contrast to the last episode, where they nearly get it on, before they’re rudely interrupted (when a painting crashes down, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge can't work out whether Andrew Scott is wearing ‘a skirt AND trousers’.) So, yes, they get it on. Even though he tells Fleabag that he couldn’t possibly have sex with her, because he would fall in love with her, and while he ‘wouldn’t burst into flames’, his ‘life would be fucked’. Oh, BBC Three's Romeo and Juilet!

It sent everyone into meltdown - obviously - because this is what we have been waiting for all along, ever since The Hot Priest entered our lives five episodes ago. “I am legitimately more invested in #Fleabag and The Hot Priest than I have ever been in any of my own relationships,” somebody perfectly summarised, while “never thought I'd be screaming fuck the priest at the TV but here we are #Fleabag,” reflected the thoughts of (nearly) all of us. The only thing is, now they've finally had sex, we just don't know how their seeimingly doomed relationship is going to play out.

Other highlights of the episode include Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s spectacular monologue about how important hair is, after she verbally attacks the hairdresser who gives her sister Claire the worst asymmetric haircut in the world. “Hair is everything,” Fleabag laments. “We wish it wasn’t so we could actually think about something else occasionally. But it is. It’s the difference between a good day and a bad day. We’re meant to think that it’s a symbol of power, that it’s a symbol of fertility. Some people are exploited for it and it pays your fucking bills. Hair is everything.” Yes, it's not the most serious monologue of the series, but it is certainly one of the best. (And most relatable.) Olivia Colman shrieking that The Hot Priest is a 'cunt', after he says he is unable to officiate their wedding, is also not to be missed. "Thank you Phoebe Waller-Bridge for the magnificent gift of hearing the wonderful Olivia Colman scream CUNT at the top of her lungs. Thank you."

It's almost like Fleabag can't get any better. tbh.

Take a look through all of the Hot Priest and Fleabag's best moments:
