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.
Eleanor’s mother Joyce comes to speak to Eleanor in person but Eleanor gets upset and walks off. Joyce reveals she got fired from the cruise, and they bond a little, so they decide to bake together at Devi’s house. Joyce wants all the gossip from Eleanor and her friends.
What does Joyce do?
Joyce is not being a great mother, revealing to the other mothers in the group that Devi and co. have boyfriends and girlfriends. Nalini then finds out about Paxton, forcing to tell everyone in the group the truth — that she never did anything with Paxton and she is a big “virgin fraud”.
