"Super Mouth" is the tenth and final episode of the third season of Big Mouth. It is the thirty-first episode overall.
Synopsis[]
When a freak storm gives everyone new superpowers, tensions between Andrew Glouberman, Nick Birch and friends boil over into an epic showdown.
Plot[]
Setting aside Caleb coming up with the idea of everyone being superheroes, let’s get to the heart of the episode: Everyone taking sides on whether Missy Foreman-Greenwald trying to be with Nick Birch being wrong or not? An issue driven by Andrew Glouberman, who in jealousy, tells Lars, and being that Lars is no different from Andrew, in terms of being possessive, that leads to many turning on him. Yet, in this huge battle, very few look at Missy and her role in all of this.
But, alas, despite all the fighting and more, it seems Nick didn’t really want Missy. What he really wanted was her portrayal of Demi Moore, further proving no one seems to really like Missy for Missy. They only like certain parts of her. Be it the dork, the straight-A nerd, or her Mirror Missy side.
Jessi Glaser learns that Shannon Glaser wants to move to New York and that they are leaving right after Jessi's graduation, and with no one’s reaction leading to the desired result, Jessi is devastated. Then when it comes to Jay Bilzerian, with him acknowledging Nick’s family is nice, but not his own, he tries to bring some of what he learned over spring break to his family and reeducate them on how to love and be civil. A tough job, but it seems to pay off in the end.
Nick and Andrew aren’t friends anymore. Andrew feels all Nick does is look down on him, and the Missy thing was the last straw. So now, while he doesn’t necessarily hate Nick, after Nick apologizes, he is tired of the back and forth and just wants things to end. He doesn’t see Nick truly changing and rather move on. Tough words to hear for Nick, but Andrew must find his own stable form of happiness.
