Masters of Sex: Standard Deviation

July 6, 2014 11:12 AM - Season 1, Episode 3

Masters and Johnson continue their study in the brothel but skewed data makes research difficult. At the hospital, Johnson is surprised to learn that a distinguished new doctor on the OB/GYN floor is a woman who has no interest in female solidarity. Meanwhile, Libby struggles to conceive and Dr. Haas gets the case of a lifetime - a woman pregnant with quadruplets.

I just started watching Season 1 so these posts are timely for me! After episode three, I still feel like it's just getting warmed up--maybe after the reveal at the end of this episode, things will get into more of a swing with the study.

My main question so far is, why on earth does Libby call her husband "Daddy"? Was that a thing?

Oh, good, it was feeling a little, er, masturbatory to keep posting episode threads into the commentless void. Sorry I fell behind on the post-a-day, I've been sick and away from my computer for the past couple of days.

I don't get the 'Daddy' thing either. Episode 3 we still haven't been given much character motivation for Bill aside from egotism, but it's coming.

It's only appropriate for posts about this show to seem a little masturbatory. Reattach the electrodes and carry on!

I thought the "Daddy" thing was because she was so focused on trying to conceive.
