Whale Store XOXO EP7 – Glow‑Ups, Mom Confrontations & Coming Out

Let’s just say it again for the people in the back: Whale Store continues to serve way more than we expected, and we are living for it.

From a solid coming-out arc to sapphic scheming and some Grade-A retail marketing tactics, Episode 7 gave us a little bit of everything. Oh—and Love? She continues to eat up every scene she’s in. The woman is stunning, her line delivery is sharp, and honestly, she could win our sapphic heart with just one wink.

Let’s dive into the drama, the makeovers, and the moment that had us fist-pumping “YOU GO GIRL” at our screens.

Seated close together, Maewnam gazes at Wan, their faces inches apart—heat rising and tension thick enough to cut.

🌅 Morning After Shenanigans (And a Mom Who Knows Too Much)

We pick up the morning after Wan and Maewnam seal the deal—and friends, we appreciate that the intimacy felt real. If you’ve read our blog on authenticity in sapphic storytelling, you know exactly why that matters. Naked under the sheets? Yes, thank you.

But the real chaos? Maewnam’s mom rolling up to Wan’s store completely unaware her daughter’s playing house upstairs—until Maewnam comes down in Wan’s tragically mismatched clothes. Mama clocked it instantly. Classic.

Of course, in typical #ThaiGL fashion, the parental reaction is... less than supportive. Cue the disapproving breakfast talk and unhealthy recommendations. Girl, let her live.

🧺 Tonnam, Lace Bras, and Domestic Chaos

Now over at Chom’s house, Tonnam is trying real hard to win over the mom-in-law. But folding lace bras while doing her girlfriend’s laundry? A bit much. We love the effort, but boundaries, babe. Let’s not lose ourselves in detergent and domestic servitude.

Chom’s mom watching it all unfold like she doesn’t know these two are dating? Ma’am. Please. Connect the dots.

🛍 Grocery Store Drama & Gay Panic Giggles

We got a lovely lil' crossover when Tonnam and Chom popped by Wan’s store. Cue Tonnam spilling Maewnam’s photo-bragging habits. Wan’s face the entire time? Gay panic. Certified.

Plus,  A+ moment of chaos when Wan asked about the handmade store sign. Their reactions? Iconic. Wan read the room without a single word spoken.

💅 Nails, Clues, and the Not-So-Subtle Hints

Tonnam continues her girlfriend-in-disguise routine, setting the table, fetching groceries, and even doing Chom’s mom’s nails. Ma’am, that’s wife behavior. If this woman doesn’t realize what’s happening under her roof, we don’t know what to tell her.

Oh wait—then she mentions a “boyfriend” and Tonnam ruins her nails. Come on, Queen Mother. You know. You just don’t want to say it.

🎥 The Commercial + Store Glow-Up = Peak Girlfriend Energy

Maewnam’s extra AF commercial for Wan’s store had us swooning. It was goofy, over-the-top, and so honeymoon phase. We love to see it.

And Wan? Girl went full startup CEO mode—selling her stuff to upgrade the shop. Smart move. And seeing her and Maewnam doing the renovation themselves? Total girlfriend-coded montage. Sapphics who DIY together stay together.

PS: That ointment scene? We were praying it’d lead to more. But alas… just a cute peck. We remain parched.

🥹 Launch Day… and Betrayal!

The big glow-up reveal was gorgeous—but the villagers all two-timing for the flashy new “Mouse Mart”? Rude. Wan’s family has been helping ya’ll for years, and this is how you repay her? We felt that sting.

Luckily, Maewnam comes through with support and strategy: “We’ll win them back.” That’s ride-or-die energy.

💥 The Blow-Up Heard ‘Round the Kitchen

Oh, it’s ON. Chom’s mom really decided to go full passive-aggressive again, and Tonnam was NOT having it. She finally popped off—and we were standing on our couch cheering.

Tonnam standing up for Chom, and challenging the idea that she “needs a man”? Say it louder for the aunties in the back!

And Chom? She didn’t get mad. She understood her. Tonnam may have outed their relationship, but she did it out of love. These two? Chef’s kiss.

🌈 Coming Out With Courage (and Hand-Holding)

Chom grabbing her girlfriend’s hand and telling her mom, “We’re together,” while they both still live under her roof? ICONIC. That took real courage, and we loved watching it unfold. A pivotal sapphic moment done with care and impact. Bravo.

📱 Local Marketing, Sapphic-Style

Wan and Maewnam’s neighborhood hustle had us nodding in respect. Coupons, flyers, deals… and the viral cat video ad? Genius. They took retail revenge to the next level and made it sapphic. We love to see it.

🔮 Next Episode Tease: The Ex & The "Wife" Comment?!

Two words: WAN’S EX. She’s back. She’s gorgeous. She’s giving Evil Queen, and honestly, we’d join her dark court in a heartbeat.

And Maewnam’s teaser line about a marriage contract? WHAT. That was #DeniedLoveSeries levels of flirty innuendos and we are HERE. FOR. IT.

Final Thoughts

Episode 7 had it all—laughs, love, tension, and a coming-out moment that hit just right. While #MilkLove’s chemistry is still a tad lukewarm, the writing, side couple, and heartfelt storytelling continue to shine.

We’re invested. We’re impressed. And we’re lowkey jealous of that DIY girlfriend montage.

What did you think?Did the cat video marketing move you? Are you ready for the Ex to drop her chaos? Do you want Maewnam and Wan to start a home goods YouTube channel? Let us know in the comments, share the love, and keep following along.
