A group of friends navigates adolescence with help and interference from the creatures that personify their changing emotions. Puberty turns everyday school and family problems into loud, uncomfortable experiences, and the advice they receive is rarely as useful as it sounds. Jessi's home life changes as her mother Shannon builds a relationship with Dina, making a parent's romantic future part of her own adjustment. Later, Jessi's growing feelings for Ali raise questions about friendship, jealousy and attraction that she cannot immediately resolve. The adult animated comedy uses deliberately excessive humor to explore uncertainty, while its recurring queer stories show that understanding what someone feels can take longer than finding a label for it.
