Finally watched the latest Insecure. I was twisting my hair in the bathroom.
*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*
It made me talk to the screen.
Somebody go gather Molly. Honey is running on E and doing the absolute most.
Molly met Jidenna last week. He’s her first date from The League (of Extraordinary Black People), the dating app, and they hit it off. Apparently, they spent the weekend together. And come the workday morning, Clingy Molly is suggesting he leave clothes at her house and is badgering him to go to her friend’s engagement party. An. Engagement. Party. With a new n---a.
*sigh*
He tries to brush her off, but she keeps bringing it up so he says he’ll make it. Surprisingly, he actually shows up, which most guys wouldn’t do and I didn’t expect him to do. He’s a better guy than many. And it’s a testament to how much he likes her. Cause most would have seen the clingy and ran fast, never to be heard from again.
But there Jidenna is, at the party, looking perfect, introducing himself as her boyfriend, which Molly actually asks if that means he’s committing. Huh? He just did you a solid, boo. That was for show. That's it.
But then she gets mad that he did exactly what she wanted him to do, and that he’s not really committing to her after what seems like a date and a long weekend. He tells her, very truthfully, that she looked “like she needed a win”, aka she looked desperate and sad aka he felt sorry for her. Molly’s offended, acts like he was wrong and asks him to leave because the truth hurts.
I fear we've seen our last Jidenna cameo and I completely understand why.
It was good while it lasted. He fine.
