This is so accurate and on point. I also thought it was strange that there was that end of episode bit of Bela sleeping with that comedian. I don’t feel it was ever addressed outside of how it impacted Bela and Eric, despite it being this big cliffhanger and all the implications of this very imbalanced hookup. There have been a few inappropriate and strange relationships in this show and I don’t feel that they ever fully explore the emotional impact these might have on literal eighteen year olds.

the whitney bio boy storyline made me especially mad because that man was incredibly misogynistic and/or racist and yet he was somehow a viable love interest!!

Eric at least had a slightly more realistic redemption arc and it felt realistic that he would have needed a second before turning on his friend.

bella constantly hooking up w comedy men in power to get jobs is a SUPER weird dynamic that is worryingly not addressed at all and continues to work out for her which i HATE
