Okay, well, were all crying now.
Are you happy,Good Trouble?
Group hugs just hit harder these days, dont they?
People … lovingly holding each other?
Basically: Trust that your friends will have your back.
Take Malika, for example.
Shes reeling a bit from her breakup with Isaac, and she tells her therapist that she ruins everything.
So maybe that therapist is on to something.
At lunch with her father, she cant help but bring up her feelings of shame and regret.
You know, like, some super easy-breezy lunch topics.
If anyone understands those feelings, its him, he tells her.
His time in prison and then not going back to take care of his family after he was released?
Yeah, he knows those feelings well.
The conversation with her dad really turns things around for Malika.
No one wants to voluntarily walk into an I told you so situation, you know?
But Malika has a new outlook on everything.
So, yes, Malika will go to those drinks.
And you know what?
Her friends are nothing but encouraging and supportive.
Tolu and Kendy are in her corner, now and forever.
Well, sort of.
Thats just common sense.
Regardless, Malikas going to be just fine.
They want Alice to rejoin the program.
That all sounds great, but Alice is a little pissed.
And then none of them even checked up up on her.
Where is theGame of ThronesShame Nun when you need her?
(Just kidding;shes busy over onTed Lasso, so her absence is acceptable.)
Unfortunately, the good vibes and high spirits are quickly doused when Scott walks back in.
It is complete and utter bullshit, and everyone knows it.
After some pressure from Ruby to give Scott a second chance, Alice tells the group the same.
This is their big shot, after all.
This whole thing is definitely going to get messier before it gets better.
The winner for Feeling Most Shameful, however, is Gael.
before Gael goes off on her for being judgmental and all she was trying to do was be supportive.
and realizes that he has nothing to be ashamed of here.
Come on, you knew everyone would be great about the whole thing.
Theyre all there for Gaelandfor Isabella.
Its after this celebration that Dennis decides to finally unload on his friends.
These poor future parents!
They are scared enough!
They dont seem to mind, though, and the group hug mostly makes up for it.
It is going to annoy Callie so much!
Callie has no time for insecure boys!
I mean, I certainly still dont trust the girl, but Mariana is evolving, so this tracks.
Hopefully she wont live to regret it!!
Oooh baby, there is still some real heat between Davia and Dennis.
She cares about him and so forgives him.
Cant wait till these two are smashing faces again as nature intended.
They are perfect every step of the way.
Why are mom and dad fighting?
