Never Have I Ever season 3 ending explained: Is Devi staying in Sherman Oaks? (spoilers)

Never Have I Ever season 3 has finally arrived, and it’s one of the most pivotal seasons yet for Devi and her friends as new loves and new opportunities come their way.

In the third and penultimate season of the series, Devi achieves her dream of becoming Paxton’s girlfriend, but when she sees the response to their relationship at school, she begins to psych herself out and doubt the power of Daxton.

But the latest season also presents Devi with the biggest decision she’s ever had to make. (Yes, bigger than choosing between Ben and Paxton.) Will Devi spend her senior year at home with her friends, or attend an elite boarding school in Colorado? Here’s what Devi decides!

Warning: Spoilers ahead from the Never Have I Ever season 3 finale!

Never Have I Ever season 3 ending explained

When Devi learns that she has been offered a spot at the advanced Shrubland School, in Colorado, she’s immediately against the idea of moving away from home. However, when her mother forces her to visit the school and consider the option, she’s swayed in the other direction.

Devi sees the impact attending the school could have on her future, by being challenged in her classes and actually existing in a school environment that celebrates, values, and welcomes her intelligence — a place where she would fit in. She’s excited about accepting her position at the school on the plane ride home, but once she returns to Sherman Oaks, Devi has an epiphany.

Is Devi moving to Colorado in Never Have I Ever?

After thanking Paxton for helping her get through her dad’s death and watching him hug his own father after graduation, Devi reflects on her life on the walk home. She realizes she spent so much time focusing on the future and fitting in that she sort of neglected relishing in the present. It all clicks when she sees her mother on their porch and accepts the she needs and wants more time with her mom.

So, Devi will not be moving to Colorado to attend the Shrubland School in Never Have I Ever season 4. She will stay in Sherman Oaks and finish out senior year with her best friends. But we could be seeing Devi venturing to Arizona to visit Paxton at college, as per his invitation.

Does Devi end up with Ben, Paxton, or Des in Never Have I Ever season 3?

Devi’s relationships with Paxton and Des both come to an end before the season 3 finale of Never Have I Ever. We probably won’t be seeing much more of Des, but Devi and Paxton end things on great terms and look to remain close friends.

Technically, Devi ends up with Ben, though they aren’t an official item. Ben gives Devi a ticket for “one free boink” in episode 9, which she spontaneously decides to cash in on in the final moments of the season. Never Have I Ever season 3 ends with the door to Ben’s room shutting as Devi enters. Did they follow through with their one free boink?
