Lemons! and The Butterfly Collection recap!

Lemons!

Surprisingly, this episode, along with a few other episodes that will air in the future, don't follow the "The X Collection" title pattern. This is also the episode in the infamous "Lemonade stand! Lemonade stand!" promo.

In this episode, Carl has set up a lemonade stand and wants to sell fresh-squeezed lemonade with Sheldon. However, Sheldon is suddenly anxious, and leaves before he and Carl can even start making lemonade. Carl has no idea why Sheldon left, and is worried that he doesn't like him anymore. Carl goes to Sheldon's house, and Sheldon confesses that he is afraid of lemons. Carl tries to think of a way to help Sheldon get over his fear. It turns out that Sheldon is afraid of lemons because when he was little, he accidentally squirted a lemon straight into his eye, stinging it. Carl helps Sheldon overcome his fear by placing a lemon far from him, allowing him to take little steps towards it, and teaching him two facts about lemons: that they're rich in Vitamin C and grow on trees. Sheldon can at least be near lemons, but he's still squeamish around them when they're being squeezed. To solve this, Carl gives Sheldon goggles from his collection of goggles to protect his eyes, and Carl and Sheldon are finally able to have their lemonade stand.

I really liked how no one judged or laughed at Sheldon for being scared of lemons, because that's not really a common fear to have, and in any other show, his fear of lemons would be used for a joke. It's very understandable why Sheldon is scared of lemons, and I liked how Carl helped him overcome his fear. In the scene where Carl places a lemon on the sidewalk, and suggests that Sheldon take little steps towards it, he says he doesn't have to if he doesn't want to, which is very nice of him. It seems that Carl's collection didn't really play a big role in the episode, which is probably why it was just titled "Lemons!" The scene where little Sheldon's eye got stung was kinda gross, but not too gross. There was just a pink ring around his eye, it's not like there was a Ren and Stimpy style closeup.

The Butterfly Collection

At the beginning of the episode, Maude says hello to the parsley and rosemary. Where's the sage and thyme, huh? Anyways, Carl notices that his caterpillars are gone, and are now inside their chrysalises, which means they will become black swallowtail butterflies soon. By the way, their names are Steven, Dottie, and....Mr. Pickles? OH NOOOOOOOO NOT THE SATANIC BORDER COLLIE (ok, this is probably just a coincidence. Carl does seem to like pickles). Carl borrows a book about the butterflies from Ms. Huffman, a new character introduced as the librarian. Sheldon visits, and Carl shares facts about the caterpillars, including their bird poop-like markings to deter predators (the show amusingly uses the word "poop"). Sheldon asks if Carl plans to release the butterflies, but Carl wants to keep them in a jar. When Sheldon points out they’d run out of air, Carl gets upset and retreats inside to jump on his mini trampoline. Maude gently helps Carl consider the butterflies’ perspective by asking how he’d feel living in a jar. In a scene inside Carl’s mind, he "collects his thoughts" and weighs the consequences of keeping them versus letting them go. When the butterflies emerge, Carl realizes Steven is actually female. He decides to release them and throws a "butterfly release party," admitting Sheldon was right. The whole group, including Harold, attends the party. The episode ends on a sweet note, with Carl’s friend gifting him seeds for plants that attract black swallowtail butterflies, and one even lands on Carl’s nose.

I pretty much predicted how this episode would go, but it was still really sweet and heartwarming regardless. I even learned some new facts about black swallowtail butterflies. I remember seeing a commercial on TV as a kid for a live butterfly garden kit or whatever. I think my classroom even had one in first grade. Those kits are much bigger than a jar, but it is still best for butterflies to be in wide, open spaces.

I zoomed past 10k words today on the fic inspired by the Manip: One Life Stand by @imagebender - much of it’s smut so, like yesterday, here’s a lemon flavoured snippet:

“I’m just going to step into the bathroom to prepare,” the Major told her. “While I’m gone I want you to get rid of your robe, then prop yourself against the pillows, with one positioned under your hips. Alright, Campbell?” 

Serena nodded and watched as Bernie retrieved a smaller bag from inside her kitbag before she disappeared into the bathroom. She slipped off the bathrobe and draped it across the chair, then arranged the pillows so that they propped up her head and shoulders sufficiently for her to watch her lover, then she lay down, with a separate pillow under her hips, as ordered. 

She’d barely settled herself into position when the bathroom door opened and Bernie strode out, her own bathrobe hanging open to display a large silicone cock protruding from a pair of specially designed shorts. There was a bottle of lube in Bernie’s left hand and a pair of soft handcuffs in her right. 

“Ready?” she asked in an imperious tone. 

“I’m ready, Major Wolfe,” Serena said, a breathless note in her voice as Bernie came towards her. She allowed the blonde to secure her wrists in the handcuffs, which were then attached to the headboard of the bed. Then Bernie spread Serena’s legs wide and knelt between them, the cock pointing straight at her. She wet her lips with the tip of her tongue, her eyes fixed on the toy that Bernie wore. She was aware that her cunt was throbbing with the need to have that toy inside her. 

“Bernie,” she groaned as the blonde slicked some lube along the whole length of the toy. Her hand began to move rhythmically to and fro, and Serena realised with a shock that Bernie was mimicking a man masturbating. She was clearly getting something from it, too, to judge by the way her breathing had quickened. 

“Please,” Serena begged. “Please Bernie.” 

“Since you begged for it so nicely, Campbell,” Bernie said, her voice husky and gruff. She positioned the head of the toy at the entrance to Serena’s cunt, then pushed inside her in one smooth stroke. Serena groaned in intense pleasure as the toy stretched and filled her. 

“Oh yes, you like that, don’t you Campbell? I bet I can give you such a good fucking that you’ll scream my name as you come, don’t you?” 

“Yes,” Serena gasped. “Yes. Oh please, Bernie. Please fuck me with your cock.” 

The blonde pulled back until only the bulbous head was still inside Serena’s slick cunt, then she thrust back in again. It took only a short time for Bernie to perfect the right rhythm that Serena needed and she felt her orgasm beginning to build rapidly as the Major whispered filthy things in her ear, telling her that she’d like to fuck her from behind as she bent over her desk in the hospital, or take her on the bonnet of her Mazda. 

“I can just picture it,” Bernie said, her hot breath tickling Serena’s ear. “You with you legs splayed wide open on top of my car, your juices dripping down onto the paintwork as it I fuck you until you’re screaming my name over and over. You’d enjoy that, wouldn’t you Campbell? Me giving you a proper seeing to on the bonnet of my car or bent over your desk at work. I bet I could make you come so hard, couldn’t I love?” 

As Bernie thrust again Serena came hard, her hips lifting from the bed as her climax hit her like a freight train and she wailed Bernie’s name.
