As the freshman year is coming to an end, Leighton and Bela are set to move out of the dorm to live with the Kappas and The Foxy staff respectively, with Kimberly and Whitney agreeing to room together. Whitney breaks up with Andrew. Leighton quits Kappa after some alumni make offensive comments about trans and nonbinary people, later fully accepting the women's center group as her true friends and rekindling her relationship with Alicia. Bela bluntly tells Jorja, a new writer of The Foxy, to quit comedy, and Jorja exposes her on social media. Evangeline and Jo confront Bela and fire her from The Foxy over the article centered on her and decide not to let her move in with them next year. Lila warns Kimberly against acting on her feelings for Canaan, to which she initially follows suit until she learns from Zoe that he lied about inviting her to the award banquet. When Canaan admits to his actions, Kimberly kisses him, not knowing that Whitney, who was coincidentally going to talk to him as well, saw them and leaves. The next day, Whitney indirectly asks Kimberly about Canaan, but she falsely denies it, which proves to be the last straw for Whitney to move to Kappa to avoid Kimberly. Feeling that there is nothing more holding her at Essex, Bela requests a transfer to another school. The series began filming on November 20, 2020, in Los Angeles.
