episode review
Devi is more optimistic about this relationship with Des, but I wonder why she doesn’t tell her mother about it. Des, on the other hand, seems to understand more than I thought. Things might really be different for Devi this time around. If we’re being optimistic at this point, it feels like Debi is here for the long term.
Paxton is a nice guy, but why did he think it would be nice to touch Devi’s face when Devi’s boyfriend is under the same roof? It happened after Paxton’s actions are questionable, but they could also be quite harmless.
Ben seems to have hit it off with Margot and is likely to have a relationship in the future. Aneesa and Fabiola are awkward with each other and are on good terms as friends. This season has been really confusing for fans with all the characters’ relationship statuses constantly coming and going.
Nalini now seems clueless about Devi’s relationship, but how shocked will she be when she finds out Devi is meeting Des. Or will Devi have to break up with Des? What does this mean for Nalini and Laia’s friendship? After Mohan passed away, she finally felt like she was living her own life for the first time.
