The Apple Brooch is the sixth episode of Season 6 of Big Mouth. It is the fifty-seventh episode, overall.
Plot[]
Seamus is living with the Birches, a cast on his ankle, and annoying the other family members with unclean habits such as urinating in beer cans. A new Apple-brand brooch becomes the new hot status symbol; after seeing an ad for it, Nick wants one but Diane refuses due to his previous behavior. Jessi is bonding with Caitlin to Shannon's anxiety. Shannon buys Jessi an Apple brooch, which speaks and hypnotizes people. After talking to Jessi's brooch, Nick guilts Elliot into giving him his credit card, which allows Nick to buy his own brooch, for app use and status. Andrew, who without Barbara for his allowance is being made to do chores by Marty to earn money, is convinced by the brooch that he desires it more. After Nick requests 8 dollars from Andrew for a pretzel Nick ordered for him with the brooch, Andrew breaks into Nick's house to steal it, resulting in a fight which exposes the purchase to Diane, who chides them and Elliot. Despite the brooch telling her to be more selfish, Jessi feels guilty for sounding spoiled and gives it to Caitlin. Shannon sees the brooch on Caitlin and gets angry, confessing she bought the brooch so Jessi would hang out with her. Jessi says she loves her mom and still want to hang out with her, and Shannon lets Caitlin keep the brooch (although it also convinces Shannon to buy a more expensive one to show off). Meanwhile, Missy is happy taking things slow with Elijah, and helps him at the church, but the pastor's song about masturbating as a sin upsets her. At school, she snaps at Elijah, worrying that he does not want to be friends anymore, but he also confesses that he has no sexual desire, and fears it makes him weird. Missy assures him that he's perfect the way he is.
