Noteworthy Information or Questions

Vivienne may have a new crush on this boy named Beau.

Mr. Groff is a sub at the college. Adam seemingly has become a NEET as he isn’t going to school and currently isn’t employed, but may look into farming.

Isaac also goes to Cavendish, and between his interactions with Otis and the obtuse Aimee, he is the same butt wipe from previous seasons.

Maeve captures the attention of Thomas Molloy, who has the knack of getting whoever is his semester intern a book deal – and Maeve appears on his radar.

Jean has a new job working at a radio show, and we learn O is a fan of Jean.

Thomas Molloy (Dan Levy)

Quotes

O (Thaddea Graham)

O is the Otis of Cavendish, or rather, Otis was the O of Moordale as she has far surpassed him regarding helping teens with their sexuality. From making videos, creating safe and comfortable spaces, and honestly seemingly like she is a true student of Jean, far more than Otis, she is the real deal. Thus presenting a major threat to the one thing that made Otis feel validated and important.
