![]() ![]() Chris Jackson ( Common), Nalini's rival dermatologist, leads to her decision to follow her mother and spy on her date from the roof of Dr. Her realization that her mother may be dating Dr. Not only does Devi show that she has a long way to go as a friend, she also has a long way to go as a daughter. Her determination to get what she wants, whether that be a relationship with two different boys or proof that her mother has moved on after Mohan's death, leads her to make poor decisions that hurt those she loves. She immediately jumps right back into her boy dilemma, an all-too-familiar move that reminds us of Season 1 Devi: the ballsy nerd who "offered up her virginity to like it was a hummus sample at the grocery store." This Devi is funny and determined, but stubborn to a fault. The scene in the finale of Season 1 where Devi and her mother come back together to scatter Mohan's ( Sendhil Ramamurthy) ashes is a beautiful moment between mother and daughter that marks the beginning of Devi's long and difficult road to healing.Īt the beginning of Season 2, it is clear that while Devi has taken a courageous and brave step toward self-growth, she still has a long way to go. But here's the thing: Never Have I Ever wants its audience to see that Devi is doing something not just questionable, but downright mean, and that is where the real heart of this season lies-forcing Devi to do some serious soul searching.ĭevi's sarcastic but lovable veneer started to crack in Season 1 as the tension between her and her mother Nalini ( Poorna Jagannathan) quickly escalated, leading to a terrible fight during which Devi tells Nalini she wishes she were the one who died instead of her dad. Even when it is packaged by a comedy queen like Mindy Kaling, Devi's ability to bounce back and forth between Ben and Paxton with somehow even more nonchalance than a person trying to decide on a sandwich while waiting in line at Subway is hard to watch. However, Devi's success at secretly dating two boys behind their backs is (thankfully) short-lived, as both Ben and Paxton quickly find out in episode 2 that Devi is in fact cheating on both of them. With the way Season 1 ended and the Season 2 trailer featuring the infamous Ben/Paxton Pro/Con list, it seemed like the love triangle would extend throughout most, if not all of, Season 2. It turns out that no matter how smart Ben is, or how alarmingly hot Paxton is, Devi's personal journey in Season 2 is much more compelling than choosing between two eligible bachelors. Will she choose Ben ( Jaren Lewison), her academic nemesis with a secret heart of gold (and sure, admittedly extremely hairy forearms)? Or will she choose Paxton ( Darren Barnet), her unreasonably attractive classmate who fulfills all of her NSFW fantasies, (and okay, yes, a really bad track record of blowing her off)? It is official: Devi ( Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), the "formally uneffable nerd," now has not one, but two boys who are into her. ![]() Season 2 of Never Have I Ever (created by Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher) picks up right where Season 1 left off - with one steamy makeout session and one momentous voicemail.
