The League Season 6 Episode 5 Recap: The Hot Tub
Vahan Shakhpazyan-VAVEL USA

After a full episode of Rafi and Dirty Randy, The League was back with the football loving crew that we adore the most. The episode starts off with Jenny presenting Kevin with a new, above ground hot tub that she bought for the family. While glorifying themselves over the tub, Taco swings by to show off his $1.1 million check that he received from Mark Cuban for the EBDB kiosk. Taco tells Jenny and Kevin that he wants to buy a new house, and he hires Jenny to be his realtor.

Meanwhile, Pete has a girlfriend named Rosette (who loves holding hands), Andre is asking people for fantasy and girl advice, and Ruxin is back from Korea and misses his wife. To christen the new hot tub, Kevin invites Ruxin and Sophia for a late night dip with him and Jenny. While in the tub, Kevin, who is having a hard time pleasing his wife, accidentally grabs Sophia’s hand thinking that it’s Jenny’s. Jenny gets angry, so the crew then makes a pact to never hold hands with their loved ones, thus leading to Pete avoiding to hold hands with Rosette.

To find a way to be pleasing, Kevin gets instructed by Russell to buy thinner pants, so he does. Upon buying his new pants, a fully confident Kevin sets up a date with Jenny at a hotel room. In the meantime, Taco is damaging the McArthur pluming by flushing down baby wipes, and Andre is receiving first date advice from Russell who tells Andre to take the girl to a hot tub, especially one that is forbidden, which gives Andre the idea to break into Kevin and Jenny’s house to use their hot tub while they are away.

As Jenny prepares to meet Kevin at a hotel room, Kevin is at a flower shop in his new pants trying to buy something romantic for Jenny, and he runs into Sophia, who offers to help him. Apparently, the flower shop is crowded and very confined, forcing Sophia to grind all over Kevin as they do some shopping. Kevin receives pleasure from Sophia’s grinding and ultimately ejaculates into his new pants. Having ruined the pants, Kevin rushes back to the store to exchange them, but instead he stumbles into Rafi in the dressing room. Rafi, who witnessed the whole incident, wants Kevin to tell Jenny about it so they would break up, and Kevin would be costless to be with Sophia.

Kevin obviously thinks that Rafi’s idea is ridiculous, so he takes off his dirty pants and, to keep them away from Rafi, he tosses them out the store’s window, and they land on Rosette’s face as she and Pete were passing by. Because of their shenanigans, Kevin and Rafi are arrested while Jenny is still waiting for Kevin at the hotel room. Meanwhile, at the McArthur house, Andre breaks in with his date, and the two get into the hot tub. However, Taco is at the house clogging up the toilet by flushing down more baby wipes as he ends up breaking the entire pluming system, leading to toilet waste being pumped into the hot tub while Andre and his date are in there, thus ending a solid episode.   

There weren’t many hysterical parts in this episode, but there were certainly some entertaining moments. This episode was much better than the previous one that wasted our time by only showing Rafi and Dirty Randy throughout the entire 30 minutes.  

Episode 5 – Overall Grade: 7/10
