![]() His sister fully calls him out for being a douche when he suggests that he can’t be with Devi because she isn’t cool enough, but buried beneath that, there’s also his insecurity about what her mother said about his intelligence last episode. She goes so far as to call up Rebecca and try to get a job at Old Navy, which prompts a sweet scene between Rebecca and Paxton. Ben realizes how serious the whole situation is when Devi’s little run-away-from-home stint starts to look more permanent. ![]() ![]() She even asks Ben’s dad for help with emancipating herself, which is of course a ridiculous request since she doesn’t have a job or even know how credit cards work. She won’t return home unless Nalini promises not to move them to India. Kamala brings her some stuff at school and tries to get her to come home, but Devi remains firm. He has a big house and pool, and she has a room to herself. On the surface, Devi’s life at Ben’s looks pretty nice. Never Have I Ever is at its best when it digs into grief. And the finale impressively tackles complicated things like grief, forgiveness, and familial trauma with all the depth and poignancy of a serious drama. It’s an episode that’s low on jokes, but it still finds humor in unexpected places. The finale starts with everything in disarray and then gradually pieces things together, repairing some relationships and making way for new ones. Despite their kiss, Paxton is pulling away from Devi. Fab and Eleanor are still on a “friendship break” from Devi, still hurt by the ways she didn’t show up for them when they needed her most. Devi moves out of her house and in with unexpected ally Ben, leaving Nalini and Kamala alone. All of the relationships central to the show have been severely damaged over the course of the season. After its emotionally explosive penultimate episode, the Never Have I Ever finale has a lot of work to do.
