The story telling is on point so you're just waiting for the joke to destroy but it continually delivers nothing. And as that is the set piece of the special I can understand it wiping the memory of the rest of thw special.
Dunno, I really like that bit. It doesn't have a punch line but it works as a piece of literature, basically. I think Freud, who once wrote that jealousy in heterosexual relations is often just sublimated homosexual desire, would've enjoyed it.
