Apple TV+’s comedy series Platonic has been delivering a perfect mix of awkward humor, heartfelt moments, and life-changing decisions. Season 2 continues to explore the chaotic yet hilarious friendship between Sylvia and Will while also diving deeper into family, work, and personal growth.
Episode 8, which will air on September 17, 2025, turned the story upside down with surprises that no one saw coming.
Platonic Season 2, Episode 8, will release on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, keeping up with the show’s weekly schedule.

Season 2 is a ten-episode series with new episodes arriving every Wednesday. Episode 8 marked another turning point in the season as the story builds toward its finale.
Before diving into Episode 8, let’s rewind to Episode 7. Sylvia’s family breakfast turned into chaos when the kids got caught up in friend drama, and Charlie started using “therapy talk.” Will, still crashing at Sylvia’s guesthouse, annoyed everyone with his antics. But behind the comedy, therapy, relationships, and career doubts stirred up emotions that set the stage for the big revelations in Episode 8.
Episode 7 Recap
Charlie invites Sylvia to join him in therapy, saying he wants to discuss “structural things” about their family life. To Sylvia, this sounds like a red flag—what if he wants to leave her?
Meanwhile, Will is caught sneaking a woman out of Sylvia’s guesthouse. It turns out it’s Diane, a realtor mom from the kids’ school. Sylvia is furious, knowing this will cause drama in her social circle.
The twist? Diane is a member of the exclusive club where Sylvia wants to host Charlie’s office party. Will offers to help Sylvia secure the venue if she, in return, supports his event-planning dreams.
Sylvia is torn between Charlie’s therapy session and Frank’s retirement party. She tries to do both, but chaos follows.
Stuck in traffic, Sylvia attends therapy over FaceTime. Thanks to filters, she shows up as a panda, then a chicken. Charlie isn’t amused, and the therapist bluntly asks Sylvia, “What are you avoiding?”
With Will’s surprising reliability, Sylvia pulls off a successful event. But then Charlie shocks everyone during Frank’s speech—he grabs the mic and announces his own retirement from law.
Charlie explains to Sylvia later that he doesn’t want to waste life at a job he hates. He’s ready for freedom, though Sylvia worries about money with their kids’ future in mind.
Sylvia impresses people at the party so much that she lands another job offer. She’s hesitant, but it’s clear her event-planning career is beginning to take off in Platonic.
What to expect from Episode 8 of Platonic Season 2
In Episode 8 of Platonic Season 2, things get even more dramatic and funny for Sylvia, Charlie, and Will. Sylvia struggles with Charlie’s request to join him in therapy, and she fears he might be hiding something big.
At the same time, Will causes more trouble by dating Diane, a mom from their kids’ school, which Sylvia knows will create awkward problems.
The episode of Platonic also brings chaos when Sylvia tries to balance two big things at once: a therapy session with Charlie and planning Frank’s retirement party. This leads to one of the funniest moments in the season when Sylvia accidentally shows up to therapy on FaceTime with silly animal filters.
But the biggest shock comes during the retirement party when Charlie suddenly announces his own retirement from his law career, leaving Sylvia worried about their future finances.
Meanwhile, Sylvia’s event-planning skills finally get noticed, and she starts to see the possibility of a real career. Will, surprisingly, proves helpful and reliable, which could change his direction too.
Overall, Episode 8 of Platonic mixes comedy with life-changing decisions, setting up big moments for the rest of the season.
