Ding-dongs is too nice of a word for these two.
Well, read the title of the episode, people.
This is infuriating on several levels for Mariana.
Earlier, she had learned that Evans first major app, Day Trader, was a huge risk.
So when she has to listen to Alex and Sam failing up, Marianas had enough.
And shes tired of that bullshit.
Anyone else want to stand up and clap for our girl Mariana after that moment?
Her moms would be so proud.
Mariana & Co. pitch Bulk Beauty, but unfortunately, the investors pass.
But just because Mariana fails, it doesnt mean shes giving up.
She seems more determined than ever to get an app off the ground.
Well see how long that lasts!
Since Mariana brings up boundaries, Evan has something he wants to discuss, too.
He needs her to stop.
His home is a place he can feel safe just like he feels safe in his relationship with Mariana.
She of course understands (and is moved!).
Its a huge step for the two of them.
It feels like this conversation has turned this relationship from a secret hookup to something much more serious.
Now lets talk about what goes down in Davia and Gaels latest restorative-justice session, shall we?
Eighth-graders havent learned to whisper yet, so literally everyone in the classroom hears this.
Its awkward, and Davia is visibly upset by it.
She admits as much to Gael when he finds her still upset back at the Coterie.
She tells Gael everything (this friendship is growing before our eyes, and it warms my heart).
Shes human, he reminds her, shes allowed to feel hurt and have insecurities sometimes.
Shes also allowed to tell Dennis all of this.
She gets the restorative-justice group back together for a discussion.
Jessie apologizes, too.
Davia makes it clear to Andre that defending her by hurting someone else isnt okay.
She talks about how boys in middle school would make fun of her body and it wrecked her self-esteem.
Jessie begins to open up about the cruelness she faces every day because of her body.
Its a heartbreaking speech.
He shrugs the conversation off, but we learn later that he really took what Davia said to heart.
Still, a proud moment after everything.
His girlfriend has another boyfriend and wonders if Malika is into something like that.
She tells him that she is not poly and she and Isaac are really solid.
They seem cool, but Malika is definitely a little standoffish the next time she sees Dyonte.
Malika thinks shes not good with kids, but she is!
Something tells me Yuri might not be a huge hit with eighth-graders, but Ive been wrong before.
In the end though, Jerod decides to go to trial, so Kathleens pretty pleased, too.
She makes it very clear that if Callie doesnt start trusting her, there will be consequences.
Kathleen also pulls some strings to get a new deputy DA put on Callies Yvonne Byers case.
That new DDA is Jamie Hunter.
This should be fun (here, fun means devastating).
