The Sex Lives of College Girls Season 3 Episode 2 Recap
At the beginning of the episode, Kimberly and Whitney wake up in their strange “head-to-foot” sleeping position, which is just as confusing for them as it is for viewers. They are having trouble finding a place to live because Kimberly’s inappropriate relationship with Canaan put the girls in a small triple room. They can barely see Leighton because there are so many boxes in their shared living space. He tells them that a fourth bed will be delivered next week. At the same time, Bela, who is always listening in, hears Leighton’s confusing conversation with Alicia, which causes a hilariously awkward moment.
Kimberly is determined to get them a better place to live, so she takes the lead and goes to the housing office. As a result of her efforts, she has a funny conversation with a nice worker who hints at a solution in a subtle way. Even though Kimberly’s lack of awareness makes the scene less funny, she gets his number in the end. But her hopes for a relationship are dashed when Bela later sees him kissing someone else at Lila’s weird fashion show. Kimberly takes this news with a sense of humor.
Bela’s Roommate Trouble
There is a power struggle going on between Bela and her new roommate Taylor, whose behavior is both annoying and strange. Taylor’s actions, such as setting candles on fire and taking over their shared space for hours, make Bela want to make a formal complaint. Taylor responds by saying that Bela is being biased against her religion and that she needs to burn candles for her faith. Surprisingly, the administration sides with Taylor, which makes Bela very angry. But Taylor’s drunk confession later in the episode shows how weak she really is—she has a drinking problem and may need Bela’s help after all.

But her resolve is put to the test when she meets Isaiah, a new classmate who is incredibly good-looking and rich.

Her irritation is compounded by his lavish actions, such as sending her a $600 bottle of champagne. Their sarcastic, heated arguments, along with their undeniable chemistry, set the stage for a possible romance that Whitney doesn’t want to admit.
