SPOILER ALERT: This post contains plot details from the Season 2 finale of HBO Max’s The Sex Lives of College Girls

Everything is in shambles. Or, at least that’s how it seems after the Season 2 finale of The Sex Lives of College Girls. As the school year at Essex College came to a close, the four women at the center of the story seemed to be finishing their first year on a high note — until they weren’t.

Leighton [Reneé Rapp] broke up with her girlfriend, dropped her sorority and jumped head first back into a relationship with her ex, Alicia [Midori Francis]. She is, perhaps, the only one who seems to be in a good place by the end of the season (though rushing back into things with Alicia is bound to cause strife at some point).

Meanwhile, Whitney [Alyah Chanelle Scott] caught Kimberly [Pauline Chalamet] kissing her ex-boyfriend Canaan [Christopher Meyer] in the courtyard as she was on her way to tell him she wanted him back — and now she’s moving out to live in Kappa. And Bela [Amrit Kaur] is thinking of transferring schools after she betrayed her fellow writers at the Foxy, belittled a new writer, and cheated on her boyfriend with a famous comedian.

The series has been renewed for a third season, which will presumably pick up at the start of sophomore year. While everything seems uncertain right now, series co-creator Justin Noble assured Deadline that, eventually, these ladies will find a way to work it out.

“They’re teammates. It’s them against everyone else,” he said, adding: “Our show, I pride it on not having a lot of female-on-female warfare. Our girls get along. They’re there for each other.”

Noble spoke with Deadline ahead of the finale to discuss why and how everything fell apart during the final episodes
