It took all of 10 seconds for Billie Eilish’s episode of Chicken Shop Date to become almost dangerously flirtatious, with host Amelia Dimoldenberg saying that she procured vegan nuggets for lunch “because I’m not available yet.”

“Damn, I was really hoping that it could be you,” Eilish says, with a smile that’d probably make most women swoon.

But beyond the cold open, there are plenty of moments of intentionally tense chemistry between Dimoldenberg and her latest celebrity guest as they sit down at Sam’s Chicken in London’s Harlesden neighborhood. On the menu? Discussions of smell, attraction, and the manic joy of having a crush. “I become insane when I have a crush,” Eilish admits. “I get absolutely insane.”

But perhaps the moment that most makes me want to crawl under a table is when Dimoldenberg asks Eilish to imagine that she’s ice cream and decide whether she’d rather be licked or bitten. (You don’t have to be a lesbian rocket scientist to figure out what’s really being asked here…)

After establishing that the question is “not a metaphor” — even though it absolutely is a metaphor — Eilish responds, “I think mostly lick it but then occasionally a little bite here and there wouldn’t hurt anyone.”

As always when watching Chicken Shop Date, I can’t help but feverishly wonder whether the pair would actually hit it off in real life. In moments, Eilish’s “mesmerizing” eyes — Dimoldenberg’s words! — and big smile make it really seem like she actually wants to take the host out for lunch off camera, too. But my hopes were dashed by one particularly hilarious awkward exchange.

“What kind of a person is, like, your dream to date?” Eilish asks.

“What do you mean, apart from you?” Dimoldenberg responds, after which the celebrity assures her, “You don’t wanna date me.”

Ultimately, though, that’s the magic of show business! Whether the interactions are real, fake, or somewhere in between, one thing is clear: Dimoldenberg has proved herself very capable of eliciting some extremely sapphic moments on her talk show. Just last week, she talked about strap-ons with SZA and now she’s talking about licking, um, ice cream with a woman who has talked openly about her desire to have her “face in a vagina”?
