Were finally here the last day of Devis junior year.
Its basically a one-way ticket to whatever Ivy League school she has her heart set on.
Eleanor and Fabiola are decidedly against Devi not being around for senior year thats a major milestone for them!
She doesnt see herself getting laid at Shrubland, so she decides she must stay.
In other news, Trents been weird(er than usual) over the past week.
Eleanor figures hes in denial about graduating, growing up, and having to leave her.
(At Sherman Oaks, popular kids get to speak, not valedictorians.
This feels like depressing prep for the real world.)
At dinner that night, Nalini brings up Shrubland it turns out Principal Grubbs gave her a call.
Before Kamala heads home for the night, she approaches Nalini to suggest she reconsider the Shrubland thing.
The conversation triggers an early memory for Nalini, back when theyd first moved from India to the States.
They talk to me like Im a child.
Plus, she gets to be on a first-name basis with the teachers (See, Devi?
You love disrespectful nonsense like this, says Nalini).
She tells Nalini she thinks she wants to go there after all.
Sex can wait until college.
At the graduation ceremony, Eleanor notices Trent sitting in the audience, sans grad cap and gown.
He reveals that he failed senior year and has to repeat it.
Thank God youre so terrible at school!
After the ceremony, Ben overhears Devi talking about going to Shrubland after all.
And he admits to her that he doesnt want her to go!
He says hell miss her.
They haveamoment, locking eyes, stomachs in knots, until Paxton comes down the hall.
Ben excuses himself, and Devi thanks Paxton for his speech shoutout.
When he asks how, she says, By being a dream.
Never underestimate the epic power of an intense crush!
We see flashbacks to special moments shes shared with Nalini and Devis eyes well up.
Its logical how we fixate on tragedy and pain when we lose a loved one.
But even though death is a net negative, itcanbring along small gifts.
And it still manages to be funny!?
The final minute of this season is so satisfying and also surprising!
(The hopeful look she gives Ben when he glances up from reading the coupon is SO cute!)
They start kissing, the door closes, and thats how junior year ends for Ms. Devi Vishwakumar.
Extra Credit
I love you, which is why I worry about how weak you are.
This was my favorite season of the show yet!
I hope next season they each have more to do with storylines that arent just about their love lives!
(Also, I want to see more of Aneesas amazing wardrobe.)
Gabe Liedman makes a cameo as a guy stuck on an airplane between two gushing Vishwakumars.
Trents reflexive boo during Paxtons speech was perfect.
This would be the logical choice … but not okay.
I feel like I need to emphasize how sweet but also sexy the final scene is!
Considering how some actors get body parts insured, I urge him to consider protecting those peepers.
Forget shipping wars: lets all just be #TeamDevi.
See ya next season, Crickets!
