![]() It also helps Devi's journey for self-love when her mother consoles and supports her. Des' mother actually supports her through it but instantly turns around and forbids Des from dating her because she was "too much." Once Devi finds out about this conversation, she ends up throwing coffee in Des' face and there is a confrontation between both families, where Devi's mother stands up for her daughter and becomes the ultimate badass. It's Devi's first time performing since her dad passed away, and being on stage triggers her into reliving the memories, and she has a panic attack in the bathroom. Not long after, Devi and Des' moms find out about their relationship but astoundingly approve of it. Luckily for Kamala, the respectable way he handles the matter wins over her grandma, setting up their relationship for success. Although Sherman Oaks wins, Devi's sense of victory is short-lived as Manish takes her home and explains the situation to her family. Fortunately, Manish suspects something, and rather than calling her out, he decides to switch which side each team was arguing for. With the imbalances of resources between her public school and his private schools, Devi decides to cheat, throwing away one of their folders prepared by their paralegals (because apparently private schools have access to paralegals). Finding out they are competing against each other in an upcoming debate tournament, Devi's competitive nature and anxiety kick into overdrive. Returning to our protagonist, Devi manages to sort things out with Des and even begins a secret relationship with him, hidden away from their mothers. ![]() Although they hit a couple of bumps throughout the season, and at one point Eleanor even tries to break up with Trent, the two challenge each other to be better while somehow being perfectly in tune. The artistic and sensitive actress with the himbo laid-back skater seems like an unlikely match at first, but the more we see of them, the more perfect they seem. Another new, albeit slightly unexpected, relationship emerges at this time: Eleanor ( Ramona Young) and Trent ( Benjamin Norris). Eventually, they decide to become official, announcing it to their friend group, but it turns out the transition from a platonic to a romantic relationship can be awkward and difficult. Meanwhile, Kamala begins to kindle a relationship with Devi's awkward English teacher Manish ( Utkarsh Ambudkar) and struggles to get her Grandma to accept his American ways, particularly after he indirectly caused her frenemy to have a heart attack.Īfter their secret kiss, Fabiola and Aneesa carefully navigate their feelings for one another whilst remaining in a friendship. In an attempt to make Paxton jealous at a party, Devi is swept away by her dance with Des but then subsequently ghosted by him in the following days. The nerdy sea marine biology student turns out to be a steamy Des ( Anirudh Pisharody) who manages to make sea slugs sound hot. Potential matches are on the horizon as Devi recovers from her breakup and is set up with her mother's friend's son, who turns out to not fit into Devi's stereotypes for Indian boys. The Valentine's Day episode ends with Devi and Paxton inevitably breaking up, with their trust being no match for her anxiety and insecurities. To make things worse, Paxton was matched with Hailey. ![]() Devi ends up matching with Eric Perkins and eventually finds out that her boyfriend switched his results with Eric to avoid Devi's predictable reaction. Valentine's Day offers up lies and heartbreaks instead of its promise of romance when a school-wide strange compatibility test that scientifically (apparently) matches students up leads to some mix-ups. When Kamala attempts to remedy this, she realizes she wasn't ready for marriage and announces it to a shocked household, earning the silent treatment from her Grandma ( Ranjita Chakravarty). Season 2 saw the end of Kamala's engagement, bringing up issues of reputation and respect that are intertwined with traditional East Asian culture. Aneesa's own relationship with Ben is on the rocks as she doesn't feel seen or prioritized by him. With her schoolwork taking a toll, Fabiola decides to end her relationship and eventually ends up sharing a clandestine kiss in the girl's bathroom with Aneesa. ![]() The start of Junior year doesn't seem like a good time for relationships. Aside from Devi's drama, Fabiola's ( Lee Rodriguez) long-distance relationship is falling apart, and so is Aneesa ( Megan Suri) and Ben's ( Jaren Lewison) relationship, plus Kamala's ( Richa Moorjani) engagement.
