Maggie: So what happened? Birdy: Nathan and I were in bed and we just confessed our love for each other. It was really special because we were both really nervous. But then he kissed me and it felt so good. I was like, “Wow, this is definitely something I want to keep secret.”

Maggie’s new job is going well and she is getting the hang of it. Nell is feeling troubled about the intimate issues she is having with her boyfriend though. In the middle of this, Maggie realizes that Street doesn’t know much about her. After telling him that she loves him, he bursts out laughing and asks her why she would even say that. Maggie has been keeping a secret from Nell and Street for a while now, but she decides to tell them both at once. She tells them that she was raped by her ex-boyfriend when they were both in college.

Nell tells her that she’s not the only one who feels this way. Street tells her that she too has been hurt by the idea of a perfect relationship and advises her to get over it.

Maggie and Birdy meet up and Birdy sees the charm bracelet Nathan got for her. Maggie is surprised that Birdy didn’t show it to her and Birdy inquires if she has to tell or show her a gift from her boyfriend. There is an awkward air around them and they fall silent.

Maggie’s mom congratulates her on her job and tells her about Birdy’s new boyfriend. Maggie also tells her about the charity event that they are going to attend.

Maggie meets her parents’ friend, Mike, while they are bathroom-ing and decide to get high together. Mike is happy to share her drugs and nonchalantly says “I love you,” leading to them kissing. Maggie is frustrated by her parents introducing her to people as a successful show producer. She flips out in the middle of the party but her parents couldn’t care less about her tantrum and they rush off to the dance floor.

Street didn’t say “I love you” back to Maggie the next morning, and she was disappointed. She had hoped he would say it back to her, but he didn’t. The next morning, Maggie had to face her parents after they learned that she gave Mike drugs knowing he is a recovering addict. Her mother told her that she should stop blaming them for her life choices and take responsibility, but Maggie wasn’t happy with this answer. She wanted Street to say “I love you” back to her the way he always does when they’re together.

Maggie tells her that she and Birdy were fooling around when they were younger and that Nathan was the result. She regrets telling her mom about it and asks Birdy if she is still mad at her. Birdy says she is not mad at Maggie, but she wishes she would have just kept it to herself.

Maggie opens up to Birdy about her jealousy and how she feels things have changed since they stopped doing everything together. Birdy assures her that nothing will change and Maggie says she will try to be a better grown-up. They have a heart-to-heart conversation about Nathan where Birdy’s mom hopes to meet him. ..

Maggie comes back from her parent’s house and breaks up with Street. She points out that Street doesn’t care about her taste, thoughts, work, or friends. He has never even visited her house. Street doesn’t want to stop seeing her but Maggie simply nods and gets her stuff from his room and leaves.

The Episode Review

It is good that the girls are reflecting on themselves and Maggie is learning there are consequences to her actions. The trip home was good for her, she realized that Street was not the man for her. It will be great to get more backstory on Amara and Nell but as we are only in episode 3, there is still time for that to be fleshed out more. ..

I enjoyed that Maggie admitted she is struggling with Birdy finding love and being happy with Nathan. It is hard to share someone close to you with a new person. Nathan and Birdy’s relationship looks too picture-perfect right now, and I hope the series can explore the facets of their relationship as well. Let us see what the next chapter holds for Maggie after Street.
