The Sex Lives of College Girls Recap: How Does the Fox Bang

As a seasoned theater critic with a penchant for the dramatic and a soft spot for the absurd, I must say that this week’s episode left me both entertained and bewildered. The antics of these college students were as unpredictable as a cat on a hot tin roof, and just as likely to keep you guessing until the very end.

This installment seems like a delightful change of pace. Although it doesn’t quite reach the peaks of what I’ve come to expect from The Sex Lives of College Girls, this episode has given me hope that they could rekindle some of that brilliance in a fresh manner. Ready to dive in, right? Let’s proceed!

It’s worth pointing out that this episode kicks off quite dramatically, with some intense noise. Whitney and Isaiah’s relationship has progressed from flirting at frat parties to becoming intimate with very little conversation or background details. Admittedly, I think it would have been nice to see them on a date or something, but college students can make quick decisions without much extra information.

Rock guarding does seem like a hellish job, but someone special brings a glint to our Bela’s eye. That person is, of course, the school mascot, Franklin the Fox. He hits on Bela as she guards the rock and shows off some mascot-informed athleticism, which means one thing: She’s getting “all up in that fur.” And BOY, does she! Like, to a level that might unlock some furry fantasies for unsuspecting viewers. That fox has her up and down, on tables, and crucially, still has the fox head on. If you were a person who was attracted to Robin Hood, this episode might be especially potent for you.

Unfortunately, despite the intense sensual encounter, Bela remains unfazed, as her affections remain with Arvind. Even Franklin the Fox’s reveal (ordinary handsome in an unremarkable way) doesn’t sway her. The heart often yearns for what it yearns for! Despite her hesitation and then withdrawing a flirtatious message, luck seems to be on Bela’s side at last. A breakup between Arvind and Emily occurs in the third act, and Bela can hardly contain her smile. I think it might take about one and a half episodes for Bela to potentially ruin this situation. This isn’t to say I don’t believe in her; I just don’t fully comprehend why she feels drawn to him. It’s possible that my feelings towards Arvind are influencing mine about Bela; stranger things have happened!

Are you similarly intrigued about which familiar college archetype they’re planning to introduce Whitney into? I anticipated it might involve themes revolving around Black women in STEM, but instead, it appears our season will focus on mental health issues. While I find this development interesting, I can’t help but feel a tinge of apprehension among the readers. Raise your hands if you share my sentiments! Yes, I see many hands, including mine.

Remember Kacey, the new roommate? She is coming out of her cage and she is indeed doing just fine! Well, she’s still a bitch, so it’s not like she’s got a whole new personality or anything. But she is involved in roommate conversations, even if that just means she insults the trio about how “desperate” it is to be on a dating app. Kacey has decided her post-breakup glow-up will be going out for the fall musical. Don’t get it twisted, Kacey is not a theater kid, but she only does it because she’s “pretty and a really good dancer and sings like an angel.” She will not make any theater-kid friends, but she will make her ex jealous when she snags the lead. OR will she be finding a new man, perhaps in the form of a cute theater boy named Cooper, who might just make Kacey see that being a huge bitch is like … not working for her at all? One can only hope!

Her audition is pretty good, but she’s got those pop-girl trills that girls her age always lean on, and she needs to get her mixed belt together! But everyone who overhears her acts like they have heard good singing for the first time. No one is angrily gossiping about who this girl is, which makes me think this theater program is like no other one on earth. It made me realize she is played by Gracie Lawrence, who is part of the band Lawrence! This means she is absolutely singing less well than she is capable of, which means I am RIGHT about her audition, which is, of course, all that matters. Her professor agrees, by the way, and casts her as “Old Woman.” She’s got work to do to make her voice sound like something other than an imitation, and after a quick stairwell cry, she vows not to give up. Okay! Let’s see how that goes!

In this episode, Kimberly plays a minor role, but it’s essential to highlight her midnight rave experience with Eli. Despite Lila’s caution that she might not be ready for such an event, Kimberly, clad in a mesh top that resembles more of a sweater than traditional mesh, shows up with confidence! Although the atmosphere may have been stronger than usual, she reveled in feeling the music vibrate through her teeth.

To become a Supreme Court justice, it’s crucial that my past is impeccable. That’s why I’m removing an old photo from 2017 labeled ‘Me gusta Cinco de Mayo.’ Honestly, young Kimberly, what was going through your mind? That’s not a holiday for you to express fondness towards!

Kimberly: “Has he ever appeared without his superhero outfit before?

• “Oh, I’m not mad. I’m piss-appointed, which is worse than disappointed. Because I’m pissed.”

It’s quite unusual for a 16-year-old to choose ‘Roar’ as an audition song, isn’t it? I’m just curious!

• “It’s sorta supposed to feel like a single four-hour song.” God, raves are tiring!
