Episode 9 is all about personal growth, relationship problems, and how friendships work. It sets the stage for what looks like it will be a memorable end to the season. What happened in this very long episode? Let’s break it down all together.
Kacey’s Big Night
At the beginning of the episode, Kacey (Gracie Lawrence) is getting ready for a big event: she’s about to lose her virginity. She’s fully committed now that she’s talked about it with Calvin. In her dorm room, she sets the mood with fairy lights, pink curtains, and a playlist of romantic Disney moments. Some of her friends, like Bela (Amrit Kaur), Whitney, and Kimberly (Pauline Chalamet), are both amused and happy for her. When Whitney says, “Oh wow, the wording,” it makes Kacey’s nervous excitement a little more fun. Even though they are making fun of her, they cheer her on before leaving her to her evening.
But when the time comes, things don’t go as planned. Cooper, her boyfriend, isn’t ready, and the awkwardness makes Kacey feel bad about herself and gives up. Later, Kacey and Cooper are in another strange situation at rehearsals for BREAD: The Musical. The lead actor backs out, and Kacey steps up to try out for the part with Cooper’s support. Cooper tells her he’s sorry about what happened earlier and that he wasn’t ready to be her first. This makes their relationship stronger. His openness and willingness to choose the perfect music for their next date make their connection stronger, and Kacey is sure that he’s the one.
Kimberly and Brian’s Love Story
The relationship between Kimberly and Brian gets hot as they’re caught up in a storm of passion. After telling Professor Tig about their relationship, they jump right into it, even talking about Proust in an intellectual way. It’s clear that they like each other, but things go badly when Brian asks Kimberly for a naked picture. Because Kimberly feels strong, she decides to send one and even tells her friends about it, who are very supportive.
When Kimberly asks Brian to delete the picture, things go wrong because he refuses, making her feel like she’s being unreasonable. Lila backs Kimberly up and encourages her to talk to Brian in his dorm. Lila, ever the caring friend, takes matters into her own hands by holding Brian down and making him delete the picture in front of Kimberly. This moment shows how strong their friendship is and makes things better after a tense situation.
Whitney’s Big Step Forward
This episode marks the peak of Whitney’s ongoing battle with anxiety. She finally decides to go to therapy after weeks of feeling more and more stressed because of her busy schedule and inability to sleep. Her friends agree with her choice, but the show doesn’t spend much time showing how they feel about it. Whitney’s therapist, who looks like a typical TV stereotype, helps her figure out the difference between wants and needs and tells her she needs to take a break. Whitney (Alyah Chanelle Scott) feels stronger after the session and asks her soccer coach for a day off. But because he doesn’t want to give her one, she quits the team altogether.
Whitney has a panic attack in the quad, which makes the aftermath very sad. Thank goodness Canaan is there to comfort her, showing her once more that she can count on him. Some fans may still be angry at Canaan for things he did wrong in the past, but his actions in this episode show how much he has changed and how much he loves Whitney.
Tensions between Taylor and Bela
With their plans to move in together, Taylor (Mia Rodgers) and Ash’s relationship moves forward in a big way. But Bela senses trouble and tries to step in because she is worried about Taylor’s hasty choice. Her worry is ignored, and Taylor doesn’t listen to Bela’s advice. At the same time, Taylor’s anger over a broken carbon monoxide detector makes their conversations more funny.
Bela’s story, on the other hand, changes when she talks to Arvind about how he treats her past relationships with disdain. Even though Arvind says sorry, Bela is still unhappy with his lack of understanding. Later, her friends tell her to write about how she feels, which suggests that her character might go in a new direction.
Episode 9 is the second-to-last episode of the season, and it sets up a dramatic ending. There are turning points for every character that will definitely affect their stories going forward. This episode has all the heart and humor that make The Sex Lives of College Girls such a great show. There is personal growth, relationship problems, and lots of laughs.
