Schitt's Creek: 10 Best Standalone Episodes
3. The Incident - S6E2
The mother-son dynamic between Moira and David is more emotionally investing than anything salad-shaking billionaires manage in their pseudo-reality show, and its more authentic and believable too. It's never more present than in season six's The Incident.
The "incident" in question is, of course, David's "nighttime oopsy-daisy," a childhood affliction that plagued him when he was especially excited for the next day. Moira's gentle understanding and openness with the matter could only come from a doting mother, no matter how much it makes her son squirm with embarrassment. It further strengthen's David's relationship with fiance Patrick too, whose unconditional love is not broken even by a soggy mattress.
Their consideration comes to nought when the husband-to-be and the future mother-in-law manage to air David's personal business on a Twitter livestream to countless fans of The Crowening. David's ego certainly would not survive the entire world finding out that he, a grown man, wet the bed.
Thankfully, Moira and Patrick manage to keep that slight revelation under wraps - probably best for the sake of the wedding and the couple's happiness. It's especially sweet that Patrick shows off his retainer and "nose thingy" to help him sleep better - because a couple that's humiliated together, stays together.
