Do you know when I said that Bella had more chemistry with Hailey?
And I would LOVE a late coming-out arc for Bela, but I assumed that we wouldnt get that.
Hence the feathers sticking out of my mouth right now.
This is, like, expert-level coming out!
Trust me, I know all too well what novice-level coming out looks like.
Sorry, I am getting ahead of myself here; let me finish this bird and dive in properly.
Bela is doing quite well in coping with her Arvind breakup.
Its research, you see?
Shockingly, she is deigning to pay attention to the student complaints that arent from Taylor for once!
In fact, sheignoresTaylor to help some other kid who wants his neighbor to turn down his music.
Our girl surprises me!
But Bela wants to get to know someone and fall for their personality, and Hailey wants the same!
Hailey agrees, and they just keep grinning at each other goofily until Bela leans in and kisses Hailey!
Kimberly, Whitney, and Kacey are thrilled!
Hilariously and relatably, Bela wants a little more of a deal made of her big coming-out moment!
She tries for Trish, who promptly tells her shes not her throw in.
Swing and a miss!
But you know who will always have her back, I guess?
Thanks to Bela, shes learned to talk about her feelings and she put that into practice.
She talked to Ash and went to a meeting, and it was all okay.
For me, it was blazers.
(Weve all got a tell!)
Bela wants Taylor and Ash to come to the storytelling night at Sips.
But then, at the last minute, her mom slides into a seat, beaming.
folds and starts a much-less coherent story about realizing that she is good at impersonating Siri.
Hugely mortifying but also hugely fair!
Fair point, in my opinion!
What have the other girls been up to while Bela is on this journey?
One of the big beats in this episode is Whitneys … coup?
Of the Athletics department?
Maybecoupisnt the right word, but it does have a military energy that I dont necessarily mean to convey!
Playoffs are coming up, after all!
Whitney doesnt miss a beat, though, and goddamn, her TV therapist is EFFECTIVE!
Are you here to listen to me or just tell me about my experience?
Baffling and far beyond me!
Whitney is so strong that not even the icy glare of her former teammates can get to her.
I am very worried about the 23-year-old who keeps failing due to soccer!
Stand up for the queen!
My kingdom for Kimberly to have a normal relationship or dating experience for once, just!
Last but not least: Kacey!
She has indeed lost her virginity to Cooper, and she is happy as can be.
Its not super-surprising that he thinks they should take a break, is it?
Nor is it surprising that Kacey is too heartbroken to handle rehearsal with him forBREAD: The Musical.
She insists she can do it at the show, but she just needs a second.
I submit it is not!
Bela offers slapping services to her mom or Cooper or both!
And her girls get it; of course, they do!
Its weird and messy and embarrassing and ya gotta start somewhere!
This song is scientifically guaranteed to make you emotional its that fucking key change.
Plus, everyones reactions!
Yes, I am front-loading because I have to confess that I did cry during this moment.
I am sorry, but I am a musical girl at heart.
in time to see Kacey slay the last bit of the song.
When Missi Pyle wipes a quick tear with a proud little smile and Lilia yells YAAAAS!
as Kacey crushes the key change?
AndthenBela grabs Haileys hand and looks at her mom with tears in her eyes.
Her mom grabs her hand, kisses it, and wipes her tears??
Well, frankly, I am a mess!
Sorry, I am gay and have mommy issues, but I must speak my truth!

And thats all she wrote, folks!
Office Hours
Lila:Im pro slip out it provides a natural intermission.
Professor Tig: Oh, and I wont be holding office hours today.
Not because Im busy, but because Im not in the mood.
Bela: What the fuck?
Does my queer journey mean nothing to you people?
