Platonic Season 2 Episode 4 recap: Why does Will want to marry Jenna?

Episode 4 of Platonic Season 2 is the perfect mix of humor and disaster. What starts as a simple plan quickly unravels into complete chaos. The episode is filled with hilarious mishaps, heartfelt confessions, and moments that hit close to home.

The episode picks up after Will’s important realization, Sylvia was right. His relationship with Jenna was falling apart because it lacked intimacy. For once, Will admits the truth to himself.

Admitting is one thing, but doing it is another. Will knows he needs to break up with Jenna, but is terrified of actually going through with it.

The episode opens with Will and Sylvia sitting in a car. Sylvia is annoyed because they’ve been waiting for almost an hour, and she’s already exhausted from traffic.

Meanwhile, Will is overthinking everything, wishing the universe would give him a sign to make the decision easier. It’s classic Will, hesitant, anxious, and stuck in his own head.

Instead of breaking up with Jenna, Will gets dragged into a golf game with her family. The pressure is on, and Will, a complete beginner, tries to impress them.

But disaster strikes, his swing sends a ball straight into Hank’s eye. Chaos follows, and soon they’re in the hospital where the doctor reveals Hank’s eye is permanently damaged.

Surprisingly, Hank doesn’t blame Will. Instead, he embraces him, calling him the son he never had.

Rather than feeling free, Will feels even more trapped. Out of guilt, he convinces himself that marrying Jenna is the only way to make things right.
