Maybe the long summer has left us all feeling a little hot and bothered. Or maybe the adrenaline boost we get from watching the Paris Olympics makes us excited about “other” things. Anyway, parents seemed to be having sex in their heads this week. From the highly relatable (a new crush on football dream Ilona Maher) to the decidedly riskier (is an Office episode about to unfold?), the latest batch of secret reveals feels extra spicy.
