But its also true that change is inevitable for any long-runningTV showabout growing up.

Otis and Maeve finally got together, only for Maeve to accept a place in a program overseas.

But the biggest shift that season four promises, of course, is the setting itself.

After Hope Haddons reign as headmistress ofMoordale Secondary Schooltoppled, our beloved Sex School was sold to developers.

Self-expression is encouraged here, epitomized by the Speakers Corner, where anyone can speak their truth.

But the recalibration doesnt mean losing out onSex Educations signature warmth and complexity.

you might see that with Eric, whose story line Im particularly interested in.

Seeing Eric find his queer community could be really rewarding.

Really, it just feels great to be back in this world again.

During their brief impromptu meeting, we quickly see why O poses such a threat.

The angles are off, the patchy shaving is inexplicable, and, for some reason, hes flaccid.

This college is weird.

But Otiss shame does serve one helpful purpose.

Even the profoundly unsexy sight of Otiss junk was enough to bring them to unexpected orgasm.

Although Cal doesnt identify as male, the comparison is pleasantly gender-affirming.

Otis eventually calls Maeve and they manage to move forward, as always, with open and honest communication.

Aimee is on her own artist journey, taking a class at Cavendish to help process her trauma.

As Maeve points out, they could actually be friends.

Its always nice to see minor characters on this show stick around and outlive their initial narrative functions.

In some of these cases, as withBridgertonsSimone Ashley, its clear that scheduling conflicts were responsible.

But in other cases, its hard to tell whether the choice was the writers or the actors.

The finales reveal that Jakob wasnt Joys father suggests that some planning went into this turn.

Only joy, inspiring the name of a daughter who isnt even his.

Seeing their little family broken up genuinely hurts, disrupting an otherwise satisfying experience.

Still, Im interested to see more of Jeans experience juggling single motherhood with her new radio job.

People change, and TV shows change, but I know were in good hands.

Aimees art teacher, eyeing her painting: What is it?

Will be curious to see what sets him apart from Eugene.

Adam isnt sure he wants to return to school, but he looks intrigued by a farm apprenticeship program.

It seems like his relationship with his dad will be a big part of his final arc too.

Im definitely looking forward to seeing Michael make more of an effort to be the dad Adam deserves.

On that note, both Ruby and Mr. Groff eating lunch alone in the gender-neutral restrooms?
