Never Have I Ever Season 4 Episode 9 Recap
Devi is still on her bed, shocked that she hasn’t gotten accepted to any school. Her mom had heard a scream from her bedroom and checked on her, and instead of being honest, Devi told her she got in everywhere.
Fabiola and Eleanor are excited for Devi as their parents tell them the big news, and Devi doesn’t deny it. Tonight is prom, and Devi isn’t entirely enthusiastic about the big day.
Ms. Warner attempts to calm Devi down by saying at least she got waitlisted to Princeton, but Devi is shattered. As Devi walks the halls in disappointment, things only get worse when Principal Grubbs comes over the intercom to tell the students to congratulate her for being accepted to all the Ivy League schools.
How can Devi get off the waitlist from Princeton?
As she is getting dressed up for prom, Akshara calls Devi to talk to her about the waitlist. She informs her that completing the supplemental essay is the best chance to get off the waitlist. Akshara says her first essay was good but needed to go deeper into who she was. While she doesn’t make any promises, she said it could be her chance to get off the waitlist.
Fabiola is at the National High School Tech Fair, and Dr. Tye shows up from Howard, who is impressed by her robot, Gears, so much so that she offers her a spot on her team in Howard in the Fall.
How does Devi tell her friends that she didn’t get into college?
Devi, Fabiola, and Eleanor head off to prom in a limo. They begin drinking and get the drive to take the scenic route, and Devi lets out a big scream that scares the driver into crashing the limo. At this moment, she tells her friends the truth about not getting into any colleges, which sparks Eleanor being honest about not booking any parts and Fabiola telling Devi that she wants to go to Howard.
Who convinces Devi to write the essay for Princeton?
While Eleanor confesses her love for Trent, she tells him that her best friend didn’t get into any colleges, and Ben enters the picture hearing the whole thing. He bolts to Devi’s and sneaks into her bedroom to comfort her. While doing so, he convinces her not to give up on her dreams and write them, and she agrees.
