Nico scrambles to rid Thetalympics of “triggers,” like “sombreros, kimonos, and fake Afros,” which don’t really make sense at an Olympics-themed party, but I’m glad the writers were able to cram some cultural-appropriation belittlement in there. All his flannels gained sentience and hacked into my laptop to blackmail me. Much to Leighton and Nico’s dismay, of course. When they hear about the Thetalympics party, the Women’s Center members share that, although they’ve been campaigning to ban Greek life from campus, they’re willing to hold off judgment until actually attending a frat event themselves. That lonely shell she’s grown around herself finally starts to crack, predictably, with the help of enemies-to-lovers bait Alicia. This was actually a very good Leighton episode. But enough of Nico let’s get to his repressed little sister. Let’s put it in the dehydrator and tell Ben Shapiro’s wife.Īfter the party, Nico walks Kimberly home, and she does miss the submission time for her econ assignment, but maybe it was worth it? Unclear. Later, Kimberly shares that, although Nico watched her Instagram Story in two-minute record timing after she replied to his party invite with a “GIF of a baby running real fast,” he said “jk” and then “whoops! That was meant for someone else.” Kimberly really should just focus on completing her econ assignment, which is due at midnight, but yes, this is all great for Kimberly and Nico’s bone-dry relationship. And anyway, as a eunuch (I suspect), Nico would have felt much more comfortable telling Kimberly that “it’s giving … it’s giving Cher.”īut the comment doesn’t matter for long the dirty bastard ends up deleting it! Bela assures Kimberly that this, if anything, is a good sign, showing that Nico thought about the post hard enough to remember to revisit it the next day. Moments like this really cement the fact that the show’s writers are all well over 30 because no one has gotten “sexy hot teen” from “that tho” since nearly ten years ago. Kimberly, Bela, and Whitney all freak out about how the comment undoubtedly means that Nico wants to bang, despite it coming across as somehow even more sterile than the needle Walgreens used to deliver my booster shot.Īs a reminder, Nico wrote, “That dress tho.” and there was an emoji involved, but it doesn’t make it any better.
In this case, Nico “Captain Crunch With Abs But Also Erectile Dysfunction” Murray left a comment on Kimberly’s Instagram. They’re not exactly close (no one knows about Dalton Leighton won’t come out), but we watch them process their turmoils next to each other, a different but still formative kind of bonding.īut before the turmoil, there’s the ~magic~. We have all our college girls at one party for the first time since the first episode, and it’s nice. We remain marooned on Greek life island - not surprising since it’s one of the more salacious things under-21s can take part in - and most of the episode hinges on the Thetalympics party Nico’s frat is hosting. This is the Murphy’s Law episode - (mostly) anything that could go wrong did go wrong.
