Episode Synopsis: As Schitt’s Creek’s first annual singles week gets underway, Patrick tells David exactly how he feels, and the town population grows by one.

The Rose family dance from the Season 2 finale is my favorite Schitt’s Creek scene. Moira, Johnny, and Alexis yelling at David to return home while he sits in a field from the Season 2 premiere is, in my humble opinion, the show’s funniest scene. But my favorite episode of Schitt’s Creek is “Singles Week.”

There are four emotional scenes that make this episode an all-timer:

David And Ted’s Unexpected Heart-To-Heart:

“I know that your name has come up in conversation every single day, for the past six months. Um, I know that she’s different now — I mean, not that different, obviously — but um, different enough to know that she made a mistake with you. Or was it two mistakes? Or more?

Anyway, so you’ve been burned… a couple times. Um, have we met? I’ve been burned so many times, I’m basically the human equivalent of the inside of a roasted marshmallow. Um, but I think it’s important for us to remember that sometimes… sometimes it does work out. And even though everything inside us is telling us to protect ourselves, when you’ve got it, don’t let it go. And I am telling you, that you have got it… if you want it.”

And then David eats a dog treat because Schitt’s Creek is the fucking best.

David And Patrick Exchange I Love Yous:

From the Mariah Carey of it all to the Season 2 finale callback, David not only accepts love but finds the courage to actually say those three little words in two brilliantly acted scenes.

Patrick: I don’t wanna add more stress to your day, but I love you.

David: Okay, so… so… you just said that to me for the first time, knowing that it would make my day more stressful.

Patrick: That’s correct.

David: Because you know that I’ve never said that to anyone else, aside from my parents twice and…

Patrick: At a Mariah Carey concert. I know. Yeah. And I don’t expect you to say it back to me, right now, you say it when you’re ready. Just felt right to me in the moment. You’re my Mariah Carey.

Alexis And Ted Get Back Together/David’s Reaction To Their Kiss:

Alexis and Ted’s Season 4 reconciliation was such a satisfying moment because of the journey. Alexis’ emotional growth in Season 4 — starting her own business, distancing herself from old friends, declining Mutt’s advances — led to viewers actively rooting for Alexis and Ted, something that seemed inconceivable in earlier seasons.

Love that for them.
