In the second episode of Season 3 of "The Sex Lives of College Girls," Whitney finds herself squeezed back into her old suite with her former suitemates, creating an awkwardly tight living situation for the quartet. Recognizing her role in this predicament, Kimberly steps up to rectify it, charmingly connecting with the young man who processes her application for a more spacious quad.
Whitney resolutely decides to dedicate her year solely to academics and soccer. However, this vow is soon tested by the charming presence of Isaiah, a handsome student in her African Studies class. Her initial intrigue wanes upon discovering his affluent background. When he gifts her an extravagant bottle of champagne, she firmly declares her disinterest in dating someone wealthy. He counters by proudly asserting that he is an often overlooked emblem of Black prosperity, emphasizing that his father worked tirelessly for everything they possess.
Elsewhere, Leighton receives thrilling news: she's been accepted into MIT, with classes commencing in a week's time. Torn between her future prospects and her cherished present life, she confides in her dad. He wisely advises her to choose a path that resonates authentically with her, which Leighton interprets as a sign to leave Essex. Just as she prepares to share this life-altering decision with her suitemates, Kimberly interrupts with thrilling news: their quad application has been approved. Leighton swallows her impending revelation.
Bela and Taylor's conflict escalates over various grievances, prompting Taylor to file a complaint that lands Bela in mandatory sensitivity training sessions.
At a fashion show orchestrated by Lila, a pivotal moment arrives: Trish, formerly Travis, publicly comes out as a trans woman, igniting the show with a burst of authenticity and excitement.
Kimberly catches sight of the guy she had been sharing a vibrant connection with earlier, now flirting with another male, promptly assuming he might be gay. Soon after, Jocelyn discloses that she overheard Leighton is set to transfer schools. The girls confront Leighton, who confides that bidding farewell to them will be the most challenging aspect of his move. They reassure each other that their bond as friends will remain unbroken. Recognizing it as Leighton's final night among them, they resolve to make it memorable by indulging in a nostalgic drinking session in their shared old room. With Leighton's keen perception, he deduces that Eli, Kimberly's crush, could very well be bisexual or pansexual and quite possibly harbors feelings for Kimberly. Thus, they embark on an adventure to the Omega party, where Leighton orchestrates an encounter between the two.
Whitney feels a pang of embarrassment for having dismissed Isaiah so blithely and seeks him out to apologize for her earlier behavior, clarifying that she still isn't interested in pursuing a romantic relationship with him. However, it transpires that his intentions weren't romantic... Bela informs Taylor that she has moved on from pursuing her and has decided to lend her support to incoming freshmen who genuinely seek her guidance. Strangely, Taylor appears disheartened by this revelation.
Later, Taylor's roommate seeks Bela's assistance when Taylor, overly intoxicated, collapses unconscious. Bela rushes to her side at the medical center, where she encounters Arvind, another First-Year Academic Fellow (FAF). Taylor then confides in Bela, revealing that after over a year of sobriety, she has realized she cannot combat her addiction alone. To Taylor's relief, Bela reassures her that she will stand by her side through this journey.
The following morning, the girls bid a heartfelt farewell to Leighton and warmly welcome their new roommate into their fold.
