The premiere of "Masters of Sex" Season 2 aired on July 13. It is quite apparent that there is some history behind it, which according to Time is about the real lives of researchers Masters and Johnson, who revolutionized the study of human sexuality.

Season 2's first episode demonstrated that it's not just the two main characters whose actions are more or less based on studies.

Showtime's American television drama series started the season with the two characters Dr. Bill Masters and Virginia Johnson facing the consequences of the chaotic results of their sex study, according to IGN. Their study, intended to be a study on sex and their public lives, instead revealed things about their personal and private sex lives.

The two of them agreed to make their affair "official" and had sex without the laboratory setting, its wires and sensors. However, they both said that it was still all about the work despite going beyond their usual set-up and checking into a hotel for the first time together.

While the study is put on hold, Bill and Virginia start to meet regularly at a hotel under an alias, suggesting that their relationship has turned into an affair in every sense of the word. Virginia even turns down the marriage proposal of Ethan, the young doctor with whom she had been going out. And although she works with Dr. DePaul on another study, Virginia misses working with Bill and the feeling that it gave her.

Bill, on the other hand, lost his job as he struggled with his feelings of restlessness and guilt, while his wife tried to get him a new position at another hospital despite her feelings of uneasiness about her husband's sex studies. However, Bill gets the funding that he needed to resume with his study, meaning Virginia might also resume working with him on it. While Libby and Virginia are friends, Libby sensed that there might be something deeper than the two's professional relationship.
