It may not look like much but the thaali is a gold necklace that is worn in the Hindu culture to indicate that you are a married woman. She and Devi have learnt to find compassion and understanding for each other’s differences which has led to a more loving relationship.ĭevi, no longer afraid of the idea of her mother dating, encourages Nalini to move forward after the death of Mohan.ĭuring a quiet moment to herself at Nirmala’s wedding, Nalini removed her thaali (the Tamil term for a mangalsutra). Where they once were so combative they are no longer.

Her challenges to understanding and learning to raise a child through grief have been just as trying as any Devi has faced. Never Have I Ever feels as much Nalini’s journey as it does Devi’s. His experience at Sherman Oaks the second time around has also inspired him to re-enroll to college on a teaching course.ĭevi, Fabiola and Eleanor scheduled plans to meet for Halloween giving fans a firm indication that despite their separate paths (Fabiola’s Howard college adventure and Eleanor’s venture into acting and directing) their friendship won’t fall by the wayside.īen, however, doesn’t get the invite because, duh, New York but he knows about the wedding and while drinking with his new buddies he realises that Devi is who he wants to be with. The wedding is emotional, packed with some warm conversations between Devi and Nalini (Poorna Jagannathan) who has been struggling with the idea of letting her go.Īs a gift to Devi, Nirmala had also told her to invite her friends to the wedding, including her handsome friend ‘Carfax’ (aka Paxton) who we learn is dating one of the new teachers in the school. Instead she sets her sights on readying herself for the big college move as well as her grandmother Nirmala’s wedding to Len (Jeff Garlin). The heartbroken Devi takes his announcement pretty well (she’s Devi 2.0 remember). It is Ben who convinces her to put herself out there one last time and despite being adamant that she wouldn’t write the essay about the loss of her dad way back in season one, Devi concedes. The Princeton rep advises her to rewrite her college essay letter but she’s too downhearted and burnt out to try for what she feels is a Hail Mary shot. In fact you’d barely even recognise this more mature version of Devi who makes rational decisions while keeping her emotions in check (after lying initially to her mum about her dire college situation before coming clean). It was a nerve-inducing yikes moment that would have sent old Devi into a tailspin, but she’s changed.

To make matters worse she made the ballsy decision to only apply for Ivy League colleges but was rejected from all of them, leaving Princeton as the only half-option. Instead of scooping early acceptance as she’d hoped, her nervous energy caused her to botch her interview with the Princeton rep, landing her a spot on the college's waiting list. Ahead of the season finale Devi has made her signature mess of things where college is concerned.
