| A close knit group of Indian friends and their families balance modern Miami living with their traditional Indian upbringings. It's Diwali season, so that means new beginnings for Vishal and his fiancé Richa, whose two-year engagement has the entire community talking. Although Vishal proposed to Richa two years ago, their wedding has been postponed because Richa's mother doesn't approve as she wants a more traditional Indian engagement. When Vishal invites his future mother-in-law to the annual Diwali Gala, she tells multiple people at the gala her true feelings about Vishal, calling him a moron and a weak person. Meanwhile, former playboy Brian has eyes for his childhood best friend Monica, while Amrit talks about his experience of being an openly gay Indian. | ||||

| With the dirt on his family out in the open, Vishal does what he does best - sweeps it back under the rug, refusing to discuss in detail the comments his mother-in-law made about him at the gala. This doesn't sit well with his close friend Anisha who looks to her friend Bali for some no nonsense straight talk. Anisha tells Bali she feels like she is being ignored by Vishal since the gala. Later on, at a dinner with her long-distance boyfriend, O'Malley Dreisbach, and some friends, Bali tells Vishal about Anisha's feelings. Vishal and Amrit both feel Anisha is overreacting, going as far as to say that Vishal and Amrit are closer friends than Vishal and Anisha. Amrit even suggests that Anisha is only doing this because she might have a crush on Vishal. Despite the tension, it’s all smiles and flannel at a local pumpkin patch, until Brian drops a bombshell on Monica telling her his true feelings for her. Monica feels uneasy about this because she's already made her feelings to Brian known in the past and has been rejected each time. | ||||
| 3 | "A Game of Telephone" | March 22, 2020 | 0.638[8] | |
| After admitting his feelings to a skeptical Monica, Brian hopes to shed his playboy label and prove they can be more than just friends. Meanwhile, Vishal and Anisha’s cold war heats up when mutual friend Bali relays damaging information to Anisha, telling her about the comments Vishal and Amrit made at the dinner party. Anisha is upset not only at the fact that she feels like Vishal and Amrit were downplaying her friendship with Vishal but also because she felt that Amrit's comments about her having a crush on Vishal implied that she is a home-wrecker. | ||||
| 4 | "Sari, Not Sari" | March 29, 2020 | 0.611[9] | |
| Diwali may be a time of forgiveness, but some people missed the memo. After finding out that Bali told Anisha about the comments made at the dinner, an argument between Vishal, Amrit and Bali erupts at the annual Fire Tower celebration. Bali feels like Amrit and Vishal were both being rude and downplaying Anisha's friendship with Vishal. Vishal and Amrit on the other hand feel Bali was overreacting and making the comments made at the dinner seem worse than they actually were. Meanwhile, Amrit welcomes his boyfriend Nicholas to town for a reality check on their future and Monica finally reckons with the truth behind Brian’s unmasked feelings. | ||||
