During the date, Devi asks Des point-blank why he ghosted her.
Thankfully, Devi says shes over Paxton and likes someone else.
And that someone else is kissing her right now at a frozen yogurt spot!
Des and Devi are enjoying the perks of having overprotective moms who are friends.
They can study together and kiss clandestinely without suspicion!
Devis offended that his debate team thinks hers is a joke.
A (figurative) fire is ignited.
The next morning, Devi gives her teammates an intense (and threatening) pep talk.
Hartman Hills gonna crush us.
Rumor has it theyve got paralegals, LexisNexis Premium,and their new coach is the computer that wonJeopardy.
(It has a probably legally unclearable name, guys!Watson.
Show some respect.)
While I appreciate this new Zen Ben, Devi does not.
Shes still determined to make Hartman Hill sweat.
While the tournament is underway, Eleanors attempting to nail a self-tape for a talent agent.
Eleanor runs off in tears when the latter malfunctions.
A (literal) fire is ignited.
She runs into the (burning?!)
(As the loving daughter of two immigrant packrats, this scene hit home.)
The debate tournament is coming to an end and the teams are down to their closing statements.
Devi concludes that space should not be privatized, and maybe schools shouldnt be either.
If her mic werent attached to a podium, shed have dropped it.
Sherman Oaks wins, but Manish makes Devi stay behind.
He knows she cheated (when she clearly didnt even need to!).
And now he has to take her home a place hes not exactly welcome or psyched to go to.

Maybe theyre more alike than she thinks.)

And Devi says she likes it too.
Could Des be the Alexis Ohanian to DevisSerena Williams?Skys the limit for this potential power couple.
Extra Credit
The title of this episode is confusing and semi-misleading because Devihascheated before!
Just a different kind of cheating.
I thoroughly enjoyed hearing John McEnroe say liaison dangereux and publique.
Aneesa and Fabiola finally came clean about their relationship.
Eleanor and Devi are, of course, psyched at this new-to-them development.
Who needs a soft launch when youve got supportive friends?
The pair are still working things out whats their goodbye ritual?
but are happy to be official.
And Aneesa was so cute as Fabs cheerleader at the debate tournament!
While I agree that Aneeola and Fabees are horrible, why didnt they consider Fabeesa?
It almost sounds like a sexy vacation destination, which seems ideal for a ship name.
If you tried to dick-tap me right now, youd probably break your hand.
Sure its not complicated, and theres no work involved, but is that a good thing?
Im getting some possible bad vibes in this episode from Rhyah, which is such a drag!
