The fourth episode opens by speeding through Devis phases of breakup grief.
And after several months, she accepts the situation.
Despite this bombshell news, Devi cant dwell on ittoomuch.
Nirmala is throwing a party that evening for Navaratri.
But Devi brushes it off and claims shes been talking to loads of guys.
Cut to the Navaratri prep.
While at the party, Eleanor sends Devi a photo of Phoebe in a teensy top.
I do not at all understand why does Devi really need to see that?
But it serves its purpose: Devis even more determined to make it there.
And right on cue, Manish shows up, giving Devi a potential out.
Unfortunately, Nalini catches Devi as she straddles her window sill, about to sneak out.
Nalini finds someone else outside the house, too: Rhyah on the front steps, looking glum.
Theres a lot of nerdy Indian guys.
And rightfully, he pushes back with a far better read on her than vice versa: Its fine.
Ive met a million of you before.
What Des articulates is an unfortunately real, albeit under-discussed, dynamic that can exist in the diaspora.
Devi apologizes again and tries to convince Des to stay, but then she spots Paxton kissing Phoebe.
Staying doesnt feel so important anymore.
Des follows Devi as she runs outside.
After learning what set her off, he offers some optimism: You survived.
That was the worst its going to be.
Hes also not an idler; Des suggests they go back inside and make Paxton jealous.
Des takes Devi by the hand, twirls her, and they dance together.
Paxtons eyes are on them, but their eyes are locked on each other.
Cute, cute, cute.
Fabiola apologizes for making him guzzle (i.e.
lose) so much, and Ben says he understands why she doesnt like him.
Fabiola corrects Ben: She doesnt dislikehim, just how hes treated Aneesa and, of course, Devi.
Yeah, well, she broke my heart, Ben says about the latter.
Fabiolas taken aback by his drunken admission but agrees not to tell her friend.
Less saving face and more sucking face, kindly!

So where should we put Sanjay?
If hes in the center, the Golu will be too sexy.
Alright, cool it, WikiFeet.
Goddamnit is Nirmala ever funny.
And did I mention how brutal she is?
Devi describes one of Nirmalas wisecracks in this episode as a savage burn, but they honestly all are.
Im convinced she needs to be on the dais for every future Comedy Central Roast.
As much as I love Manish his dedication to courting Kamala is endearing as hell hedoeskeep crashing Nirmalas get-togethers!
