Season 3 of The Intercourse Lives of School Women lastly arrived within the 2024 TV schedule in November, and with it got here a number of modifications. It was no secret that this season would mark the tip of Reneé Rapp’s tenure on the present, nevertheless it was nonetheless extremely emotional watching her say goodbye to the women who grew to become 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 forged members and giving minor ones extra outstanding roles. It’s a transfer that’s actually 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 happening. Whereas the opposite women are busy juggling school and their intercourse lives — as aptly prompt by the present’s title – Lila is busy profiting from her time in Essex. She doesn’t get overly wired as Kimberly and Whitney (Alyah Chanelle Scott) do, and she or he not often finds herself in serious trouble like Bela (Amrit Kaur) all the time 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 trend 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 battle towards the varsity’s supply robots, which she fears will substitute their jobs and steal their suggestions.
Nonetheless, it was Season 3’s Halloween episode that actually 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 identify she didn’t get final time.
After all, that is simpler mentioned than executed, and she or he spent all the episode ordering random provides for Sips within the hopes of getting the correct supply individual, solely to maintain getting the flawed one. In the long run, she does discover the person she was on the lookout for however the hurdles she needed to endure to get there are nice.
Whereas I believe I’ll all the time 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 forged.
