Iesha´s She´s a Bitch was the highlight of the season for me

Finally we see a part the varsity show actually happening. This whole season I have been wondering if we ever were going to see it. Iesha vs Sam Round 2. Hell yes Sam said exactly what I was thinking she is a bitch! Hell yes Sam, finally she has had enough. Loved this scene soo much and loved the POV shots of each other as well. Round 2 goes to Sam. She put her in her place. But I am also happy that by the end of the episode they became friends and when Sam looked at the camera and then Iesha did it kind of felt like a passing of the torch. I’m already predicting that she will run dear white people and make it her own radio show to take over for Sam.
But again I hate the way Iesha cancelled Sam because she called her a bitch. I mean really, I get your angry but wow. Really shows you how much Sam has grown, she didn’t go and attack her instead she wanted to know why Iesha attacked her in the first place. She could have gone all out but she didn’t.
As for Gabe wow that seen was like he sold his soul to the devil. The devil being his uncle. But happy him and Sam are at least talking again. I miss the movie references they both would say. So it was nice to hear.
Reggie he is learning that his app can be used for good yes but also evil purposes. Sadly all almost all people in business only care about making money and who they can profit off of. Whether their white,black,Republican or Democrat.
As for the post credit scene…ya it has to be leading to something! I mean that’s like chekhov’s gun right there it has to go off at some point.

Truly don’t know how they’re gonna wrap everything up in one episode, I was expecting more closure

Anyone else think about the interesting parallels between “little Sam & big Sam” ie Iyesha & Sam this season and Sam (Logan Browning) & that character Tessa Thompson played in season one.
I feel like there’s something there to be said about how our Sam (Logan) might feel like she’s becoming more like Tessa’s conservative mouthpiece character (especially since Tessa played Sam in the movie) ?
Definitely playing into the cycle of young progressive challenging the status quo of “wokeness”. I’m pretty sure in the season with Tessa’s character (I thought it was S2, but whatever) she even gives Sam the advice eventually you’re gonna need to learn to adapt and being woke isn’t always helpful because there will always be a cancelled and a “canceler”
