Zoya and Obie have not been seeing eye to eye recently. When Aki exited the restaurant, jumping to his defense, Audrey said: "You could be a little more sensitive ok? You never know how someone at the table identifies." Aki's mother catches on to something, while his father appears oblivious, at least that is what we thought. Aki had stepped outside for a breath of fresh air after hearing his father refer to those who are gay as "them." Audrey, who is high on caffeine mixed with stress and no sleep, outed Aki to his parents (with the help of Zoya, who encouraged Rodger to go on a rant about homophobia and the fact his company was getting sued by a gay man for LGTBQ+ bias). Some other interesting things occurred at the fancy dinner party. Yes, it's awkward, so very awkward, and ends with Julien admitting she was still in love with Obie, when Julien asked if Zoya still felt the same way, Zoya shrugged her shoulders and walked off and poor Obie is none the wiser.

Both Zoya and Julien saw the videos of Obie at home, separately, and head straight down there to support. The next day, he is seen protesting at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, where his mother Helena and Aki's father Rodger are behind tearing down sheltered housing to build a multimillion-dollar apartment complex. Regardless of what Zoya and Julien said, something clicked within Obie. Things seem weird between Obie and Julien, almost like there's some tension and unresolved feelings there. She gives Obie some advice, to stop taking the fact he can't show his mother who he is really "out on the people who love him," causing Obie to walk away. Julien, who has done some serious self-growth in the past six episodes explains she was only trying to help and only wants them both to be happy.

Surprise surprise, when she gets there and introduces herself as Obie's girlfriend, Helena is quick to shut her down insisting "Julien Calloway is Obie's girlfriend." Looks like Obie has been keeping Zoya a little secret from his own family. Julien in what was a questionable move arranges for Zoya to meet Obie's mother by turning up unannounced at a hair salon.

Julien does also not seem to be over him whatsoever, with the episode beginning with her scrolling through his Instagram pictures. The young couple are just not addressing the fact they are so different and quite frankly, do not like each other anymore.
