The Honeymoon is definite over. But we will get to that in just a second. The overall arc for this season will be about Shannon wanting to adopt a child and convincing her family to go along with this new responsibility of raising and caring for someone else. Easier said and done as it seems like everyone is against Shannon doing this. But before they can address whether or not to adopt, there is some unfinished business that needs attending to. Namely Gene's Polaroid collection.

We have all heard the stories about how Gene has photographed pretty much every single chick he has bed dating back to the early 70's. In this episode, Shannon finds a key but doesn't know what the key is to. She confronts him about it and he comes clean that it's to a Safe Deposit Locker in a Bank Vault. It's pretty self explanatory what happens next. Even though they end up burning it, I'm pretty sure Gene has these stashed on a computer somewhere.

How am I coming up with this theory? Well for starters, he was shown carrying 4 oversize briefcases and each page seemes to have about 10 Polaroids per page. I figure each Briefcase holds about a 100-200 images. Multiply that by 4 and add an additional 200 and you get around 1,000, which is well under his proposed greater than 4,000 conquests he has said on numerous occasions.

I have waaaaaaaaaaaay too much time on my hands to be analyzing this  s h i t.

don't worry...there's no way they really burned his pics.

he just looks at things in his life..."hmmmm let's see....how about we pretend Shannon finds my photo albums and burns them"

I call bullshit...there's no way.

!

hahaha

it's a clever story line and one  of the better fantasies/ legends  I think fans have about Gene...so he was smart to incorporate that into the show.

I am sure there's a lot of great memories for him with that stuff
