Never Have I Ever season 2 finale recap

In the second season of Never Have I Ever, Devi continued to weather the ups and downs of adolescent romance. While she attempted to date both Ben and Paxton at the start of the season, she ultimately made her choice in the season finale to be Paxton’s girlfriend. Devi’s friendships with Eleanor and Fabiola also underwent some extreme growing pains thanks to waning trust.

However, the three besties end up stronger than ever as Eleanor starts something new with Trent at the winter dance, Fabiola and Eve win Cricket Queen and Queen, and Devi overcomes her jealousy of Ben and Aneesa. Elsewhere, Kamala makes her own big decision in her love life that just might have some repercussions with her family.
