On Monday, Paxton tries to clear the air - and his name - with his coworker.

Okay, it could be worse … and then it is! When a drunk student calls the school helpline for a ride home, Lindsay shows up to realize her very own colleague is hosting this party full of booze-chugging teens. You can see where this is going! Paxton’s hospitality gets taken advantage of and suddenly he’s hosting a rager. Trent makes plans with Paxton to Oculus later that night, and when some swim team members overhear, they ask if they can swing by too. Paxton is newly sensitive to what it feels like to be a failure, so he tries to cheer Eric up, only to get roped into training him. Unfortunately, the poor guy’s technique of bellyflopping and flailing doesn’t make the cut this year either. All this to say, McEnroe was an inspired choice on multiple levels.įrom one jock to another, let’s now catch up with Paxton, who’s helping with the swim team tryouts! Among the hopeful swimmers is Eric, who’s been fruitlessly trying out every chance he gets. Finally, there’s something so genius about having a gruff, iconic, older white man as the narrator for a brown teen girl’s life he presents cultural references and teen realities so matter-of-factly, which helps normalize them to a larger, potentially unfamiliar audience. I love that as a famous hothead, he’s essentially Devi’s “spirit celebrity,” helping us contextualize her anger while also being tethered to her father’s memory (and I’m realizing his discernible if curmudgeonly concern for her comes off as sweetly paternal too). Gigi does a fine job, but the change is noticeable enough that I’m reminded what a goddamned delight John McEnroe has been throughout the series! Can we take a second to appreciate this? He’s been a surprisingly expressive narrator and elicits lols regularly with his line readings. In what I imagine will be our final narrator swap of the series, we have a Paxton-centric episode, which means the return of Gigi Hadid’s disembodied voice.
