We’ve reached Episode 10 of the season, and while that’s probably an arbitrary milestone considering there’s something like 26 episodes, (sweet, merciless, hell, we’re not even halfway through) it’s a good enough excuse to try out a different format.

Here are 10 things that defined the 10th episode:

1. Jeremiah’s big, indestructible forehead. Gus’ weak little forehead deflected right off of it when he headbutted Jeremiah for not paying for all of his specialty sushi rolls. Their feud is far from over.

2. Aimee’s court-ordered silence. The princess goddess mermaid returns from her Panama City Beach court date for a battery charge, and while everyone’s happy she wasn’t put in jail, she legitimately isn’t allowed to talk about it “at all.”

3. A picture of Kortni’s wrecked throat. They showed it. I had to look away. Luckily we have Gus’ vivid description. It looks just like avocado with hot sauce on it. Gus would know. That’s what he was snacking on when Aimee started waving the photo around on her phone. This is all we see of Kortni, who is still home in Panama City Beach recovering from a tonsillectomy.

4. One spaghetti noodle. Gus and Nilsa decide to reenact the Lady and the Tramp spaghetti scene. They slurp from opposite ends of the noodle, but Gus wins this unsanitary game of chicken when Nilsa bites off her end of the noodle and pulls away. Gus was totally going to keep going.

5. Kirk’s unabashed love of the Buttses. When Codi Butts’ dad, Papa Butts, invites the whole gang up to Westminster, S.C., to stay with him and Mrs. Butts so they can work on their dysfunction, Kirk is really excited, ’cause he totally knows those guys. Unlike the rest of the cast, he apparently really does hang with the Buttses at their Westminster home in his off-camera life. And he keeps saying it. It really is kind of sweet how much this guy loves his buddy’s parents.

6. Papa Butts’ fire pit on the side of his house. What happens ‘round the fire pit, stays at the fire pit. When the gang arrives at Codi’s parents’ house, this is where Papa Butts starts probing to figure out what’s going on between Jeremiah and Gus, so that the healing can begin. “He’s like an emotional chiropractor,” explains Codi in praise of his dad’s abilities. They don’t have the word “therapist” in Westminster, S.C., yet.

7. Papa Butts’ Dr. Phil-esque daytime talk show spinoff. I’m pitching this to MTV right now. It’s called, The Emotional Chiropractor.

8. A bouquet of flowers. Instead of heading straight to the Buttses, Nilsa, Aimee, Candace and Mattie make a detour to Nashville. Mattie lives there, and needs to pick up some clothes. Nilsa explains that she’d like to tag along, because her best friend recently died while visiting Nashville after he was struck by a van. Nilsa was supposed to be on that trip, and she feels guilty, like things might have gone differently had she not canceled her plans. In Nashville, she places flowers at the site of the accident and reads a letter to her late friend. Nothing funny here, just a touching reminder that sometimes you have to fully expose yourself to something painful in order to work through it. Hopefully the visit helped Nilsa find some peace.

9. A puke-covered door. Back in Westminster, Codi brings the gang to the bar where he works in real life. He gets 30 percent off food and booze! Before long, he throws up on a door. Then some lady trying to get to the bathroom totally touches it. Hahahahahahahahah, that lady thought that door didn’t have puke on it.

10. Gus’ insatiable sex drive. Gus spends the evening flirting with a woman Codi went to high school with, and as the night comes to a close, invites her and some friends to “come back with us." Only issue is Gus is sleeping on the couch at the modest home of a middle-aged married couple who happen to be his friend’s parents. What were you going to do Gus? Hunch on Papa Butts’ big, cushy, over-stuffed, broken-in chair from Rooms to Go? The one he sits in while watching Pawn Stars and World War II in Color. Come on, Gus! Papa Butts, not having it, corrals a frustrated Gus into the taxi to head home. Gus explains that he craves female attention, because his family is all “man whores” and his parents cheated on each other. Papa implores him to “break the chain.”

10.5. (Sorry, I really need one more) Jeremiah’s tears. Once they get back, Papa Butts pulls Jeremiah to the side to talk about Gus. He says Jeremiah should give Gus a break, since Gus didn’t have the kind of family support that Jeremiah, or his own son Codi, who recently threw up on a door, had growing up. “Do you love him?” asks Papa. As the tears stream down Jeremiah’s face, and the episode closes, Jeremiah responds, “Not anymore.”
