![]() ![]() Warner warns that bad boys can cloud one’s judgment and that Devi needs to keep her eye on the Princeton prize. In other exciting news, it’s College Fair Day at Sherman Oaks! This is Devi’s shot to impress Princeton’s admissions officer, but in the meantime, she feels obliged to defend her not-so-honorable boyfriend’s honor. He leaves, and she’s visibly ecstatic over what she just experienced: great sex! It seems Ethan has proved an ancient boy-band adage true. We see our girl lying in bed after having (safe) sex with Ethan, her hair tousled and cascading as if we’re seeing a brown Birth of Venus. But there are benefits, as Devi happily discovers. There are some inherent glaring issues: Ethan sucks at school, is straight-up rude to adults, and - worst of all - is a litterbug. If episode three is about a bad-boy fantasy, the fourth episode, “… wrecked my future,” gets into its reality. (He admits he got greedy once his growth spurt made him a hot commodity.) And that is how Devi begins dating a bad boy. With Eleanor’s blessing to have some fun with Ethan, Devi agrees to hang with the skater boy but only once he promises to stop kissing other girls. She realizes she has been using the dreamy degenerate as a distraction from missing Trent. The whole thing brings Eleanor back to earth. Unfortunately, a devastated Trent hears this exchange, particularly the part where Eleanor reveals she kissed Ethan. But Devi points out that Eleanor got dumped by a loving boyfriend who wanted to marry her, while she’s getting over Ben, who hit it, quit it, and now won’t talk to her. Eleanor’s reasoning? She called first dibs and just got dumped. The girls engage in a self-pity face-off, arguing about who deserves a shot with the slacker. Feeling down, Devi heads to the parking lot to watch her crush, only to find Eleanor doing the same. But I saw you sitting outside, and I was like, Damn, I kinda wanna kiss her right now.” I guess the boy’s got serious rizz.ĭevi overhears that Margot never asked Ben to stop talking to Devi - he opted for the silent treatment himself. He assures Nalini he’ll return to work on the stairs the next day.Įthan explains to Devi why he kissed her despite his dalliance with Eleanor: “I didn’t plan it. Andres admits he delayed finishing the work out of spite for Margot’s sake (he’s also raising her as a single parent). Nalini and Kamala head over, recording everything for a potential “Scambusters” segment. When the Vishwakumars are left stairless for five days with no sign of Andres, Devi uses her Gen-Z tracking tactics to locate him. Fab encourages them to make a “besties before testes” pact and each vows to leave Ethan alone. Devi incredulously asks what kind of person leads on two people at the same party - a cheeky callback to her two-timing in season two. Devi gives in, but the moment is cut short when Eleanor catches them.ĭevi runs after Eleanor to explain her predicament, only to learn that Eleanor has a secret of her own: Ethan kissed her just 15 minutes earlier. Yet despite Devi’s matchmaking efforts, he finds her outside his party later that night and proposes a game of tonsil hockey. ![]() Nalini thinks he’s trying to upsell her, which he denies (and learns she’s a single mom in the process).ĭevi figures the best way to get Ethan off her mind is to get him and Eleanor together and render him officially off-limits. According to Andres, a termite infestation has compromised the entire staircase. Nalini comes home to find her house in disarray. It’s nice how the series can use him to explore this kind of story line. Bringing Paxton back is convenient because it keeps the show’s love-triangle element alive, but the character also serves as a reminder that life goes on after high school and not always in the ways you expect. Devi is skeptical about whether he truly gave ASU the old college try (thank you, thank you), but he’s defensive and points out that he’s an adult. But as Devi takes an epic spill down the steps (kudos to the stunt actor), Nalini knows she can’t be choosy.Īt school, Devi fails to avoid Ethan - which somehow results in dick-punching - and then runs into another frequent guest in her dreams: Paxton! Turns out he has officially been hired as the school’s assistant swim coach. Having already met under not-so-ideal circumstances through their daughters, the two parents aren’t exactly chummy with each other. He shows up, and Nalini isn’t psyched, but goddammit, I sure am! It’s Margot’s babe-ly dad. Speaking of sudden death, the Vishwakumars’ staircase is defective, so a Yelp-savvy Len refers Nirmala to a contractor. But it all goes awry when she’s reminded that she’s betraying her bestie. ![]() So it’s no surprise when a sleeping Devi has what starts as a good dream about being bad with a shirtless, tatted Ethan. Throughout this series, Devi has had a rich fantasy life. Photo: Courtesy Of Netflix/Courtesy Of Netflix
