I need Bunny & Duckie in EVERYTHING.

Except it isn't growth. Zoey partying too much and getting cut off is fine. Zoey was doing well academically in college. It was only because she dropped one of her classes mid-semester that she needed to do well in chemistry to maintain her GPA. However having her turn her nose up at getting a job and overemphasizing her self involvement, while her vapid friends lecture her, is terrible writing. Especially when there is a much more complex, and interesting, character arc to be mined, that doesn't involve the usual Black-ish/Grown-ish verse misogyny.

Exactly. Zoey was self involved and spoiled but she wasn't afraid of commitment or hard work, especially if it was something she believed in.

That's before Micah knew the truth. As soon as he was aware of the circumstances, he took his mother's side resolutely.

Nova would not compromise Micah or Blue in that manner. But this is a show that absolves Ralph Angel & Charley of everything while Nova is constantly reduced to a plot device.

None of Nova's book plot makes an ounce of sense. But who needs character consistency or complexity when everyone can, as usual, Pile On Nova. But then again, this show has ALWAYS had terrible writing, so.....

That would be the legendary Freddie Pendavis, who guest starred last season as one of the ballroom judges. He's the one who told Candy she needed to moooooooooooooooove on. lol

Blocked.

Algee was pretty great in the New Edition miniseries and in last year's The Hate U Give, opposite Amandla Stenberg.

Everything about the writing for Zoey, on Grownish, is completely contradictory to who the character has always been.

Yes! The only way I could ever believe Nova would write a book such as this is if she were as forthcoming and self lacerating about her own secrets, which, thus far, hasn't seemed to be the case. And, I do think the passage of Nova's book the reporter read to Charley, is something Nova would really say, but directly, and only directly, to Charley, in the heat of an argument. But this whole 'book of secrets' feels like the writers wanting to disrupt the status quo via the show's most polarizing character imo.

I loved that Angel genuinely missed Ricky. She reacted the same way when Blanca kicked Papi out last season. I also loved that Ricky was included in Blanca's confession of her diagnosis. He may be shady, but he's still an OG Evangelista.

He looks nice, but not as impressive as the extra they had in the finale.

My problem with Nova's story this season is that it doesn't ring true. At least not the Ralph Angel, and to an extent Charley's, part(s) of the equation. Do I believe Nova would pen a tell all book about her family, including long held family secrets surrounding Ernest, Violet, and Charley? Yes. Do I believe Nova would draw such risible conclusions about Charley and disclose Blue's paternity in a novel? No way. Nova has been very clear about how she felt about the Charley/Davis situation and it's always ended with her resolutely siding with her sister. Also, it's been shown that Nova considers her nephews, surrogate children, who she's gone to great lengths to protect. And while, Nova certainly enjoys her enlightened pedestal, she's been shown, repeatedly, to admit when she's wrong where Micah is concerned. So there's no way I can believe she'd put elementary aged Blue in the proverbial line of fire.

I like that Polly isn't in the least bit phased by Roller.

I love this show. Thoroughly. That is all.
