Season 3 of The Intercourse Lives of Faculty Ladies lastly arrived within the 2024 TV schedule in November, and with it got here loads of modifications. It was no secret that this season would mark the top of Reneé Rapp’s tenure on the present, but it surely was nonetheless extremely emotional watching her say goodbye to the women who turned her greatest associates.
Leighton was my favourite character, so to say I miss her is an understatement. Fortunately, the present accounted for her loss by introducing viewers to some new solid members and giving minor ones extra distinguished roles. It’s a transfer that’s definitely labored for me as I’ve come to like Lila (Ilia Isorely), one of many supporting characters who has been round since Season 1.
Lila began out the present as Kimberly’s (Pauline Chalamet) coworker/supervisor over at Sips, the faculty’s espresso store. Within the first season, she’s a little bit of a confidant for Kimberly, who has the toughest time adjusting to school life. Little by little, Kimberly began introducing Lila to her roommates, and so they all started to assist and encourage each other. Her character started to get extra fleshed out within the second season. Now that there’s extra time to spare with Leighton leaving Essex for a spot at MIT, followers have gotten to know Lila even higher.
One of many causes Lila is my favourite is as a result of she hardly has any drama occurring. Whereas the opposite women are busy juggling faculty and their intercourse lives — as aptly steered by the present’s title – Lila is busy profiting from her time in Essex. She doesn’t get overly stressed as Kimberly and Whitney (Alyah Chanelle Scott) do, and he or she hardly ever finds herself in serious trouble like Bela (Amrit Kaur) at all times does. As an alternative, her plots usually add some hilarious antics to an in any other case dramatic episode.
It additionally began with the second episode of Season 3 the place she hosted her personal style present for the road of males’s underwear she created. After all, she didn’t inform anybody that’s what the style present was for, which made for some hilarious reactions from the women. Her shenanigans have solely gotten extra entertaining as she waged conflict towards the college’s supply robots, which she fears will exchange their jobs and steal their ideas.
Nevertheless, it was Season 3’s Halloween episode that really cemented her as my favourite character. Whereas Bela was coping with FAF troubles, Kimberly struggled to suit into her new legislation symposium, and Whitney tried to be associates with Canaan once more, Lila had a mission of her personal: discovering the lovable supply individual whose title she didn’t get final time.
After all, that is simpler stated than accomplished, and he or she spent all the episode ordering random provides for Sips within the hopes of getting the best supply individual, solely to maintain getting the mistaken one. Ultimately, she does discover the person she was in search of however the hurdles she needed to endure to get there are nice.
Whereas I believe I’ll at all times miss Leighton, it’s good to have one other enjoyable character to root for, particularly as issues appear to be getting bleaker and bleaker for the remainder of the solid.
