I'm back like I never left with another Insecure review. So I had talked about being friends with your ex's new boo in a previous review here. In this episode, Issa and Condola talked about not making things weird between them and not letting Lawrence interfere in this blooming, promising friendship. Now they got that out their chests
Issa and her girls, Molly, Kelli and Tiff are in her apartment for their usual Friday night get together. Molly complains about Andrew (Asian Bae) being really distant, not opening up to her and wanting more in the relationship or situationship. The girls think it's okay for Molly to be in her feelings and want to slow things down, except Kelli who doesn't like the idea of putting the pussy on pause.
Next scene reveals the big ass clapping butt cheeks of Issa's fuck buddy. He's very dutiful and takes Issa to church with the missionary. The used condom is however stuck in Issa and we see her struggle getting it out but not without disappointment from her mirror self.
Lawrence is super weirded out by the friendship between his ex Issa and his current girlfriend Condola because he feels all the girls do is talk about him and that makes him insecure. I'd be weirded out by that too 🤷 He then goes over to Issa's to talk it out and she assures him they're really not talking about him so much but she agrees to tone it down a little anyway.
Molly cooks quite a salty dinner for her and Asian bae, insisting they eat in instead. just to get him to open up. It's however a flop during the dinner as Asian bar still is a hard nut to crack and Molly wants a guy with depth. This has Asian bae storming out of Molly's house because everything is an issue with Molly and he thinks she's acting out because there isn't any label to their relationship yet.
Asian bae calls some other day and apologizes to Molly though, saying he just needs time and he'd be able to let Molly into his space.
I think this episode was nothing out of the ordinary. I mean, I was so pumped about it but it just seemed like no effort was put into the story. From the first episode I expected Lawrence would talk to Issa about toning down her friendship with Condola but it was just that. It didn't leave me in suspense or hyped for the next episode.
I really do not know why Lawrence is still on the show though. Is he meant to get back with Issa at some point? He's got his own thing going on now and was only a drag to Issa's life. There is currently no feelings between the ex's. He's better off the show, a strong character that'd do well on his own show. There are infact a lot of string characters on this show and it feels they all should star in their own shows.
For Molly, I like that she really wants to know this guy and build something with him. It'd be good to forget the married childhood friend she been fucking.
Thanks for reading, until the next episode, your dutiful Insecure review maestro here.
