![]() Darren Barnett is a magnetic onscreen presence who will undoubtedly have a successful career in Hollywood, but it truly never gets less jarring to see a 30-year-old playing a high schooler. Hadid tells us that as someone who is also conventionally attractive, she relates to Paxton’s feelings of being boxed into the “beautiful airhead” stereotype. ![]() No, really, I’m writing this on the show’s release day - I promised my editor I’d have it in by the end of the day!įresh off the heels of the shocking car accident that ended the previous episode, this Paxton-centric episode opens with the voice of none other than model, activist, and designer Gigi Hadid. The replacement guest star was so under wraps that even those of us who got early access to the season didn’t know who it would be until the full season dropped. Following in that tradition, this season was also slated to have a surprise voiceover cameo for an episode, but that surprise was ruined in two ways when it was revealed that Chrissy Teigen’s planned role had been scrapped. It makes Ben think about how he didn’t tell Devi he liked her before he left.Last season, viewers were pleasantly surprised to find that the sixth installment of Never Have I Ever featured guest star Andy Samberg stepping in for John McEnroe in one episode to narrate the show from Ben’s perspective, in an unexpected and cute play on the show’s narration structure. The group then gets into a conversation about girls they like and how they treat them. Before he can answer, one of the guys he is with spills a drink on him, stopping him from texting back. She mentions Pati’s wedding and how she wishes he were here since all of Devi’s friends are invited. While he was gone, she thought of him often and tried to refrain from texting him, however this was enough for her to send over a picture, causing them to start texting back and forth. While starting to pack her suitcase, she finds something from Model UN, which reminds her of Ben. After 12 years, it seems like it’s all over, but the episode hasn’t finished just yet. When she asks Ben about celebrating her acceptance into Princeton over the summer, he reveals that he’s leaving right after graduation for an internship in New York. Turns out that he was right, but unfortunately, it’s too late. Right after that conversation, he points out that the “vibes” between her and Ben are alive and well. They both agree that it felt like closure for their relationship. ![]() She does share one last moment with Paxton (Darren Barnet) in season 4 episode 7, the two reflecting on their journey and kissing before the swim coach walks in on them, putting a stop to anything else happening since Paxton currently works at the school after graduating in the previous season. However, the love triangle is no more and Devi ends up with Ben (Jaren Lewison). Whether you were team “Daxton” or team “Bevi,” the show has given us beautiful moments for each. ![]() Before she leaves, she thanks the gods for everything she has and asks them to keep an eye on her mom while she’s away. It’s just what Devi needs to hear and she’s finally ready to start this next chapter. Her mother finds a distressed Devi in her room and finally helps her pack, telling her that it’s okay to feel scared about saying goodbye, adding that she is proud and her father would be too. Devi tries packing again, imagining her father comforting her, but it doesn’t help, only reminding her once again, that her father is gone. The older woman pleads with Nalini not to waste their last night together and it finally gets through to her. Nirmala then calls her out, explaining that the reason she is picking fights with Devi is because she’s scared of the younger girl leaving. Nalini realizes her daughter never finished packing and is clearly upset. She doesn’t get any reassurance at her grandmother’s wedding, with family friends and loved ones voicing her biggest fears out loud about being far from family and no one at school liking her. But the thought of packing her entire life into one suitcase is sending her into a panic. Devi has still not packed despite her mother’s (Poorna Jagannathan) insistence that she get it done rather than continuing to wait until the very last moment.
