Can we take a second to appreciate this?
Hes been a surprisingly expressive narrator and elicitslols regularly with his line readings.
All this to say, McEnroe was an inspired choice on multiple levels.
Among the hopeful swimmers is Eric, whos been fruitlessly trying out every chance he gets.
Unfortunately, the poor guys technique of bellyflopping and flailing doesnt make the cut this year either.
it’s possible for you to see where this is going!
Paxtons hospitality gets taken advantage of and suddenly hes hosting a rager.
Okay, it could be worse … and then it is!
On Monday, Paxton tries to dump the air and his name with his coworker.
The thing is Lindsays cool, so of course she wont narc.
This interaction is soooo telling.
I see smooching in their future.
But not right now!
Feeling beaten down, Paxton takes his frustration out on a charged-up Eric at the pool.
Why keep going for such an unlikely dream?
Eric says he doesnt care if he fails as long as he tries.
And maybe I dont fail, and then Im really proud of myself, he explains.
Seeing how driven Eric is, Paxton steps up: Then lets make you a jock.
Well always remember you this way, Pax.
As someone notorious for having good game, Paxton suggests she play it less thirsty, more cool.
Paxtons blown away to learn Devis had sex with EthanandBen freakin Gross.
Devi admits she thought he wouldve been the one to take her virginity.
But now she feels theyre finally equals.
These are a lot of close calls, Paxton!
At home, he talks to his mom about feeling like a fuck-up.
She reminds him hes only 19 way too young to be a failure.
Growing pains, you know?
Theyve been affectionate and playful and generally really sweet with each other, but their romantic chemistry has dwindled.
Even Paxton sees it; why cant they???
In episode eight, Devi seems more willing to consider Ben might just like her.
Especially after he randomly sends her a WYD message one night (theyve been texting ever since).
But Devis not the only Vishwakumar girl getting her flirt on.
She even wants to help it along so her mom isnt alone while shes at college.
Devi tells Nalini she senses the vibes between her and Andres.
Why not invite him to Nirmalas birthday dinner?
But, despite Nalinis killer decollete (seriously, wow), Andres regretfully turns her down.
Given the animosity between Devi and Margot, he doesnt think he should come.
Devi goes on the charm offensive to get back into Margots good graces.
Sure enough, when Andres sees Margot and Devi acting chummy, he changes his tune about dinner.
And boy is dinner eventful!
While Nirmala stockpiles items to regift at her birthday meal, Andres thanks the Vishwakumar clan for their hospitality.
He says this has been his longest job, but while gazing at Nalini also his favorite.
Lens phone goes off and he goes upstairs to answer it, which doesnt quell Kamalas fears.
After hearing Len tell his conspirator that she cant stop by, Kamala takes matters into her own hands.
Remember how Devi and Margot were pretending to be friends?
Speaking of which, Devi finds out Ben has also been texting Margot, whos not over him.
And a quick look at their messages has Devi feeling like shes been firmly slotted into the friend zone.
Now Devi might not be psyched about being in Bens friend zone, but Trent sure is.
The next thing you know, theyre waiting to get high off some gummies.
Trent says these experiences are ideal for sharing truths.
Without delay, he asks who Ben loves.
Ben must confess his feelings immediately!
And so he shows up at Devis house with flowers(!)
but is thrown off to see Margot there too.
Devi assures Margot theyre just friends.
And thats when the drugs hit Ben like a freight train.
(Bens high face is very funny.)
She also says he was right: Hes too mean, and Im too crazy.
and accordingly slams it into Lens chest.
My parents were quite stupid, explains Baby.
Once everyone has left, the Vishwakumar ladies sit in the living room.
Meanwhile Kamala apologizes and admits she used Len to distract her from regretting turning down the Johns Hopkins job.
She says she only passed it up because she couldnt imagine living without family.
Devi admits that she herself still has feelings for their mutual ex but also thinks theyre unreciprocated.
The beauty of bonding over rejection!
They finally kiss and everything is perfect.
For a few minutes, anyway.
Devi logs on to learn shes no longer deferred at Princeton.
Nope, now shes beenwaitlisted.
And every single other school she applied to has flat-out turned her down?!
This might be the most chaotic cliffhanger the show has ever had.
So much for the beauty of rejection.
Hes had some pretty funny moments this season and now some touching ones too!
The cut from McEnroes interrupted narration to Devis Hey girl made me guffaw.
And that is how we are friends and we both like it.
Id like to think it was his passive-aggressive way of telling Kamala off.
Hes gonna marry Nirmy anyway, Kamala!!
And blast reggae fusion at their wedding!
