One of the biggest joys ofSex Educations evolution between seasons has been its approach to its ensemble cast.

In Episode Eight, Adam Groff conclusively becomes one ofSex Educations most remarkable accomplishments in empathy.

Adams rehabilitation following the relationships origin couldve easily been rushed, or oversimplified, or unbelievable.

Adam writes Eric a poem before he knows for sure hes going to lose him.

Its a mature choice on Erics part.

Makes them feel like you care.

Adam has struggled with these issues for the whole series, largely because of his cold, strict father.

But now, without Adams knowledge, Michael is going on the same journey he is.

Otis has recently realized for sure that he wants to help people who want to change.

But Otis says he thinks shes honest and courageous for admitting her vulnerabilities.

Otis got that instinct to listen and help from Jean, who makes it out of surgery safely.

This whole experience has made him realize how important she is to him still.

I still need you.

I cant not have a mum.

Its see you soon, Maeve says.

We see just how far all the characters have come in Episode Eight.

She reunites with Ola and apologizes for being too distracted to notice how much Ola was missing her mom.

The two move forward together with a greater understanding of each other, becoming more open-minded people themselves.

But he still has blind spots hes still trying to figure out.

Im not a girl, and Im worried you still see me as one, Cal says.

Jackson reluctantly agrees to be just friends, but Im sure this story is far from over.

Season three ends with a lot of ambiguities, especially when it comes to Moordale Secondary School itself.

There will always be a need for someone to listen and be compassionate, no matter the setting.

Ola later suggests Joy as a name for the baby.

I love that the show makes the space for a nonbinary character other than Cal.

Dua Saleh and Jemima Kirke have also been great additions as Cal and Hope.

So happy for her.

Thats it for season three!

Thanks so much for reading.

So I feel like I really lucked out with this one.
