This post contains spoilers for season 1 of Masters of Sex, which is the whole point.

Showtime’s acclaimed series Masters of Sex comes back for its second season this weekend — so if all you can remember about the first season is that there was a lot of sex in it, here’s everything you’ll need to remember:

Everyone saw Virginia naked: And not just the television audience. In a quest to secure funding and recognition for his sex study, Dr. Masters went all-out on his presentation to the staff, providing martinis and live-action video. Though the doctors in the room were comfortable while he discussed male sexuality, his open discussion of female sexuality crossed a line — especially when he showed the video footage he took of Virginia Johnson reacting to orgasm. Though Virginia’s face was never shown, somehow everyone seems to have guessed who that anonymous volunteer was. Libby, Masters’ wife, asked him directly whether the woman was Virginia, but he couldn’t reveal the identity of a study participant.
Bill really saw Virginia naked: Of course, Libby’s right. That was Virginia, and not just for science: Masters and Johnson are having an affair. At the season’s end, she discovered that he had given her proper credit for her work on the study — and that he wants her to come back, to work with him and presumably more.
Bill’s not the only contender for Virginia’s affections: Ethan still loves Virginia, and he asked her to marry him and move to California (with her kids, natch) to be with him.
There’s a new character: After a devastating miscarriage earlier in the season, the pregnant Libby Masters — Dr. Bill Masters’ wife — ended the season going into early labor. We know that the baby made it through, but when the season ended Bill, who was with Virginia at the time, didn’t even know the baby had been born.
Dr. DePaul has given Virginia a mission: Lillian DePaul revealed that her cervical cancer — the reason for her quest to make pap smears more common — is terminal. She asked Virginia to make sure her work continues after she’s gone, which may be difficult considering her study has no institutional support and she’s unable to attract patients who are wary of a female gynecologist.
Barton may be in danger: Barton Scully, Bill’s boss, had been considering electroshock therapy to cure him of his homosexual desires, even though his wife Margaret thinks he should try another route. Foreshadowing?
…But not as much danger as the study is in. After the super racy presentation, Bill was fired from the hospital.

Season two kicks off on July 13.

man, the acting on this show is soooo good! sheen is a beast. i can't believe he can do comedy so well, and there isn't an ounce of comedy in this performance. the last scene of tonight's episode was damn impressive. that is a tricky scene to pull off and he nailed it.

the last scene he is trying to say he loves her and wants to be with her, but she shuts him down. she doesn't love him like that. so he tries to play it off like he is the one who doesn't love her. but she totally knows exactly what's going on.

it's really tricky as the actor because you have to make it clear to the audience that you love her so desperately and you are heartbroken, but you are trying to pretend like you are all cool and above it all.

and she does a good job too because she has to portray to the audience that she knows what's going on, but hide it from the other character in the scene.

they are both desperately hiding(or trying to hide) their real feelings, but they have to show us.

THIS is the kind of acting the orphan black girl can not do. it tilts me that she gets so much credit as a great actress. she just plays a lot of characters, and she doesn't play any of them particularly well

Not sure on that, but Lizzy looked a lot better in general. Meaning not just in her wonderful nekkidness.

I agree the acting was again great, especially in that scene in the hotel lobby, but it was a very depressing episode. Let's get the study going again!

I thought both the blonde daughter and the blonde friend of Virginia's didn't look quite as attractive as they looked last year. And Virginia did look better than ever. They curled those little bangs more effectively.

just caught a glimpse of the daughter for a scene, thought she still looked very hot. but Jane... dunno what happened there, definite downgrade, she didn't look much better than the former hooker lady
