Adults ends its chaotic first season with Episode 8 delivering the most unpredictable turn yet. A sudden courthouse wedding that shakes up the group's dynamics.
As Paul faces deportation, an impulsive marriage offer sets off a domino effect. In the end, it's Anton who walks away as Paul's husband, sealing their relationship with a kiss that blurs the lines between friendship and something more.
A wedding proposal built on secrets and urgency
The episode kicks off with the gang rifling through a mountain of unopened mail, but the real surprise comes when Paul discovers a letter alerting him to the expiration of his visa.
The news throws everyone into emergency mode, especially Issa, who spontaneously proposes to Paul to keep him from leaving the country. What Paul doesn't know is that Issa is still legally married to her old friend Zach.
She sends Samir and Anton to secure Zach's divorce signature while she and Paul search for a priest to officiate their rushed marriage.
However, the plan unravels when the priest refuses to marry them after Paul admits the real reason behind the proposal.
When honesty backfires and emotions erupt
Despite Issa's best efforts to keep the truth under wraps in the final episode of Adults, her marriage to Zach slowly comes to light. Zach, holding a grudge against the group for not letting him move in years ago, initially refuses to sign the papers.
But Samir and Anton finally convince him by explaining how compatible he and Paul might have been, pushing Zach to not stand in the way. Meanwhile, Billie wrestles with her own romantic chaos, suggesting that everyone in this apartment is redefining what love and commitment look like.
Paul confides in Anton, sharing that he always envisioned a glow-stick outdoor wedding, hinting at a deeper emotional need than just staying in the country. His vulnerability opens the door to what happens next.
The kiss that changes everything in Adults
In the final episode of Adults, as the wedding day arrives, panic sets in. Issa, caught between guilt and hesitation, backs out at the last minute. In a dramatic instance, she urges Paul to choose someone, anyone, from the group to marry.
Billie even steps up, despite dealing with a suspected UTI, before Paul finally chooses Anton. After a brief, surreal ceremony, the group returns home to celebrate. But the emotional peak arrives when the group chants for a kiss. What begins as a shy gesture between Anton and Paul quickly transforms into a full-blown passionate kiss.
The moment in Adults leaves the group to feel stunned, and even the newlyweds pretend it meant nothing. Yet, that kiss is undeniably loaded with years of chemistry and unspoken truths.
Adults closes its first season with a wedding that's anything but traditional - where love, legality, and emotional confusion collide. Anton and Paul's shy kiss signals a shift that could define the group's future, especially as hidden feelings bubble to the surface.
Whether it was convenience or something deeper, this union sets the tone for what could become the show's most compelling story if a second season unfolds.
