Never Have I Ever Season 2 Kiss Scene - Devi and Ben
Never Have I Ever Season 2 Kissing scene (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Jaren Lewison)
Netflix’s coming-of-age comedy-drama series ‘Never Have I Ever’ follows Devi Vishwakumar as she navigates the turbulent world of high school after the untimely, and very public, death of her father at a school music recital. Being one of the popular kids is all that Devi and (to some extent) her wide-eyed friends want, but the task proves to be slightly more complicated than the headstrong American-Indian teen says it will be at the beginning of her sophomore year.
Never Have I Ever Season 2 Recap
Season 2 opens with Devi’s mother Nalini catching her daughter kissing Ben soon after an especially emotional ceremony where they disperse Devi’s father’s ashes into the sea. Incensed and in true form, Nalini asks the teenager if she’ll also have make love on top of her mother’s grave when she dies. Devi blames the kiss on being emotionally distraught but, deep inside, is giddy with joy at the prospect of having kissed Ben. Another surprise awaits as she finds Paxton waiting for her when she gets home.
At a disastrous going away party thrown in Devi honor, both of Devi’s boyfriends find out about each other and walk out. Ben refuses to speak to her, and Paxton, though on speaking terms, refuses to acknowledge any semblance of a relationship between them. With her trip to India now canceled, a very frustrated Devi, in a fit of jealousy, unknowingly spreads a rumor about one of her classmates (Aneesa), which gets her suspended. To make matters worse, Devi finds out that her mother is having an affair with a colleague and thinks that she’s moving on from the death of her father too soon.

Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as Devi Vishwakumar

Never Have I Ever Season 2 Ending: Who is Devi’s Boyfriend?
As the school dance approaches, Devi is made jealous of Ben and Aneesa’s very public relationship while her own with Paxton seems non-existent. Her friends Fabiola and Eleanor also struggle with their love lives, with the former trying to balance her academic interests with her new girlfriend’s busy social activism schedule and the latter dealing with her egocentric child celebrity boyfriend. The high school dance doesn’t go quite like Devi pictured and is a far cry from the limo-riding, boyfriend-toting experience she expected it to be.
However, just as she’s leaving, Paxton shows up, having realized how much Devi has helped him in the past year. The two, for the first time, enter their schools as a couple and slow dance to a fast Kylie Minogue track (for which Devi threatens to murder the DJ). Ben, however, seems especially crestfallen at seeing the two together and is left with his mouth hanging open when Eleanor tells him that Devi was actually secretly pursuing him before she gave up and went back to Paxton.
So it looks like season 2 closes with Paxton finally, officially, Devi’s boyfriend. Our angst-ridden, hot-headed teen protagonist has come a long way from hoping to catch a glimpse of the high school athlete and memorizing his timetable to slow dancing with him in the middle of the dance floor. However, there might be trouble brewing as Paxton’s history doesn’t auger much hope for the new couple. For one, he has been ashamed of being seen with Devi in public ever since the start and has hurt her many times because of that. Also, on more than one occasion, he has patched things up with her only when he needed Devi’s help (first with his sister’s photoshoot and then with his biology exam).
It would be nice to believe that Paxton is a changed person, and there have been some significant changes (for the better).
However, he only decides to go to the dance when he is told that his improved grades (achieved with help from Devi) will help get him into college, once again showing how he (maybe unknowingly) considers their relationship as transactional. It’s quite likely Paxton will continue to be fickle. The fact that Devi’s late dad, in a dream, tells her that she’s too good to be with someone who tries to hide her also seems to hint that, once again, things with Paxton are not going to end well. Hopefully, no one gets hit by a car this time.
Why Does Kamala Leave Her Proposal Dinner?
Season 2 is a period wherein the main characters begin to take charge of their immediate destinies as opposed to being tossed around by the games of chance, fate, and social pressures, as was the case in the previous season. This aspect is especially evident in Kamala, who, after great trepidation, stands up to her petty research supervisor. Her next act of defiance is even bolder when she secretly walks out of the proposal dinner of her arranged marriage that her future in-laws came all the way from India for. It is even more of a surprising move considering her fiance seems to be quite understanding and deeply in love with her.
