What happened at the start of Never Have I Ever season 1, episode 7, “… been a big, fat liar”?
After being ousted as a liar, Devi is trying to keep a low profile at school but then she learns that Paxton did not tell anyone that she lied and… he’s moved on with another girl.
Jonah has joined the friendship group and formed a connection with Fabiola as he needs to come out of the closet as well.
Devi asks Fabiola and Eleanor if they can cut her some slack as Paxton dumped her but Fabiola tells Devi that she’s gay. Devi is excited for her and decides she wants to make it up to her friends and host a slumber party (without Jonah).
So Devi wants to prove she’s a true friend?
Yes.
Devi is desperate to prove she’s a good friend in Never Have I Ever season 1, episode 7. First of all, she meets Eleanor’s mother Joyce at the Mexican restaurant — she offers to help them both out unknowingly to Eleanor.
