They can make mistakes together (and grow from them).
They can be transparent about their desires.
And they can tell each other when theyve disappointed one another.

That being said, Fabiolas lie of omission does come from a good place wanting to safeguard her friendship.
The truth is almost always the cleanest gateway to reconciliation…even if it takes time.
Even if it hurts.

If Fabiola wants to receive a prestigious education at Princeton, Devi should support her.
Devi should rally behind her.
True friends want to see their friends thrive even when it stings a little for personal reasons.
Its the new go-to now.
Were making this a thing.
Though crushes are hard to resist.
Though temptation can burn with fervor as hormones rage, boys are never worth a bestie.
A high school bad boy is not going to be your forever man.

Theyre enjoying the taste of freedom that the opportunity brings.
Then walks in a sorry excuse for a man whos interested in Devi.
Earlier in the night, hes told shes still in high school and backs off.
Later, with a few more drinks in his system, he comes back.
Ben intervenes, and he winds up getting punched.
Friends stand up for one another.
Friends defend one another, even when there are risks.
Devi starts off as a typical teenager who rarely does anything but fight with her mother.
Over the four-season arc, she grows into a woman who wants to see her mother thrive.
This is the ultimate sign of growth.
In earlier seasons, Devi would have not reacted so positively to her mothers new love interest.
(Nor would she have gotten involved to seal the deal.)
This is a step forward in their dynamic in their journey to becoming confidantes.
But Devi is now reaching the age where she can be a support system to her mother in return.
And that is the start of a beautiful parent-child dynamic turned mother-daughter best friends.
