This season of Grown-ish has really began to flourish within each episode. Targeting social issues that takes place around students and college life.  Most of all you get to see not just Zoey grow with the show, but the talented actress that plays her, Yara Shahidi as well. So, did you tune into Wednesday night's episode? Well did you?! Lets recap shall we simpies?

Warning: Spoiler Alert!

WTF CASH?!

We start off in the episode with Zoey and Cash totally booed up now, and living their best lives as the new 'it' couple on campus. As Cash is making all the winning shots on the court, Zoey is eating up all of the popularity and fame she's getting, just because she's Cash's girlfriend. But where there's fame, there is bound to be hate. Of course people being who they are, react to the 'it' couple's glow up, and begin to troll Zoey in Cash's comments, calling her "fat", a 'ho' and how some random dude "smashed" Zoey, you know, all of the things jealous people would say. Cash clearly wasn't having that, and decided to 'clap back' at the haters by replying, "My bae is pure!" while hash tagging, #Virgin.......so here is what we're not about to do Cash! (Insert hand clapping!)

Obviously Zoey was pissed after finding out what he wrote, seeing as though everyone on campus knew now that Zoey is a virgin, she was even trending online as #TheVirginZoey. Cash had completely lost Zoey's trust by sharing her sexual history with the world. Although it pretty much never existed, it was the principle of the matter. When Zoey confronted Cash about it, Cash tried to apologize and didn't think it was going to get that out of hand, clearly it did since the post received a hundred and thirty thousand views (yikes). 

Boy Bye!

Zoey immediately looked toward her friends for advice about what Cash did, and of course they were not with the shi%$. They convinced Zoey to break it off with him, claiming that what he did was inexcusable, except Vivek, who desperately needed Cash's fame for his birthday party. (poor Vivek)

While Zoey was too busy being mad at Cash and ignoring his texts, she finds out from Luca that Cash has been going through a lot back home to deal with whatever drama is going on in 'perfect Zoey's' little world. Turns out that Cash's estranged father, has been auctioning off Cash's possessions for money. The news had been circling around the media all day and Zoey knew nothing of it. 

Loyalty, Loyalty, Loyalty

Although Zoey was seriously pissed off with Cash, she felt horrible that she wasn't there to support him on what he was going through at home. Mad or not, she was still his girlfriend, and still cared about him. Zoey decided to drive with him down to his home, to confront his dad (The ultimate ride or die chick). As Zoey awkwardly drove beside Cash in his car, she was still being pretty petty with him by giving him the silent treatment. Cash decided to come clean and tell Zoey, that he purposely posted about her being a virgin because, it would be good for his brand. (Oh hell no)

Shocked about what she just heard, Zoey shouts at Cash to pull the hell over. Cash not wanting Zoey to call the police on him, convinces Zoey to come back in the car, where he explained everything about his troubled past. He explains, that they're driving to buy back Cash's own champion ship items, before his father sells it all for drugs. Cash confesses to Zoey about their differences. "You fit inside what I want to be, you're also good on paper. Your'e pretty, you're smart, you come from a good family, and then you got the virgin thing". he admits. "I come from nowhere. The bottom" When they reach his house. Zoey witnesses Cash trying to talk to his dad from the car, holding out a wad full of money to his father, only to be pushed and then his father snatching the money from out of Cash's hands.

Don't Come For Me Unless I Send For You!

Zoey and Cash had to ask each other if they weren't the inexperienced virgin, or the hot shot basketball star, would they still be dealing with each other? It was a question neither one could give an answer to, because neither one knew the answer themselves. When Zoey returns back to school, she finds her friends (at an empty Vivek's birthday party) awaiting her return, with an annoyed look on all of their faces. Her friends call Zoey  and Cash out on their relationship, and legit tries to drag Zoey.....this is where they F%$#@& up. Zoey begins to black on each and everyone of them, coming for their whole lives. She was frustrated. None of them knew what Cash was going through or about his life. Shocked on how Zoey reacted, her friends did apologize to her, and  explained that they cared about her and her feelings for Cash.

Bae Goals

When Zoey catches up with Cash she apologizes to him on how she reacted and felt sort of special the way Cash stood up for her. Cash apologizes to her as well, and explained that he's never meant anyone like her. They both agreed that they would've dated each other regardless of their baggage. Zoey and Cash decide to face whatever obstacles that are thrown at them, together. (Awww!)  The episode ends with Zoey and Cash, retiring for the night in Cash's room...hmmm?

I don't know about you but I think anything could've went down in Cash's room that night. Could it be that Zoey finally lost her virginity? Despite everything that has happen between Zoey and Cash, it still doesn't explain Cash's reckless behavior. Yet, Zoey is lured back into his charms after seeing his struggling past. Just like that, you've forgotten everything he's done. Is it that easy? Which brings me to end this article with this question. Would you forgive and forget your significant other, for exposing your personal buisness?

I post my solo pictures on my social media for him to see. He showers me with compliments, some witty banter, my night's made and I sleep.

I'll tell you what's unrequited love.

It's when I crack jokes, make a clown of myself and he laughs. When he calls me by a nick name and I feel like I'm special.

I'll tell you what's unrequited love.
