The moral of the story here is a familiar but always relevant lesson: Always be yourself. She’s nervous to tell Eve this, but when she finally does, Eve tells Fabiola that she will love her no matter what. After she finds out she’s been barred from the robotics team for missing too many practices, she realizes just how much she’s let her new relationship affect her day-to-day life and decides she will never compromise any part of her personality ever again. It’s an admirable feat of strength considering most teenagers would not have done the same in her position, especially with someone as hot as Paxton.Įlsewhere, Fabiola’s season-long crisis between her love of nerdy things and her desire to impress her super-suave girlfriend comes to a satisfying conclusion. It seems as if everyone in this show has conveniently forgotten how terribly she acted toward Ben and Paxton, including Ben and Paxton.) When she wakes up from the dream, she promptly heads over to Paxton’s house and breaks up with him. Later, however, her father visits her in a dream and tells her that the mistakes she made doesn’t mean that she should settle for less. This entire time, he came off as a superficial douche, but this sincere moment reminds Devi that she hurt him a lot when she cheated on him, even if he didn’t show it to her. He admits to her that he likes her a lot but that he cannot be dating her publicly because everyone at their school would think Paxton was a joke for getting back together with the girl who cheated on him and also ruined his swim career.

Why would he care about Devi getting rejected? Does he still have feelings for her? Oh, brother.įor the second time, she confronts Paxton about the way he treats her in public. As she’s crying to herself in the girls’ bathroom, Ben (who saw everything unfold) comes in and attempts to cheer her up. Finally, after seeing Aneesa ask Ben to the dance, she is inspired to take things into her own hands and asks Paxton to the dance herself, only to get rejected very publicly. As the days drag on, she begins to worry more and more. She figures that if he thinks of her as more than a hookup, he’ll ask her to the dance. When she confronts Paxton about his shady behavior, he gives her the typical fuckboy diatribe of “Labels are cheesy and I hate PDA.” She begins to wonder if she’s his girlfriend or just a side piece and, with the school’s winter dance coming up, her window of time to figure it out is slowly closing. This episode, we open up to Devi having a nervous breakdown about it. The penultimate episode ended with Paxton referring to Devi as “pal,” even though he had just hooked up with her the night before. With its season-two finale, Never Have I Ever boldly asks the question: What if we left this season on the exact cliffhanger as season one and also answered absolutely no questions, if anything leaving viewers with even more questions? I know it sounds sarcastic but I promise I’m being sincere - “… been a perfect girl” is spectacular and sets an amazing, albeit high, precedent for the coming episodes.
