Satan stays busy, and the latest episode of “ Insecure” is proof of that.
Issa, Molly, Tiffany and Kelli link up for a “Beyoncé or Bust” weekend at Coachella. It sounds good in theory, but their getaway ends up consisting of more “bust” than Beyoncé. Issa, whose only income comes from Lyft driving, desperately needs an escape so, of course, the brokest is the most pressed for this trip. Molly is still worried about being the best at work, instead of being the best as a person, so she takes on additional work during Beychella weekend. Tiffany, mom of the group and mom-to-be outside of it, begins to realize that her priorities are changing, that she doesn’t always fit in with her squad.
Meanwhile, Kelli is high and hilarious most of the time.
At the festival, Issa reconnects with Nathan ― who’s been MIA apparently ― for a trippy good time and some Ferris wheel dick. While waiting for Beyoncé’s performance, the rest of the crew get into a full brawl with a group of white people blocking their view, leading them to get kicked out and miss Bey’s show. For the first time, we see a bit of a strain in the group’s dynamic.
And if that wasn’t trash enough, Lawrence pops back up to presumably wreak more havoc and ashiness in Issa’s life ― and ours.
On this edition of “Run That Back,” Julia Craven and Taryn Finley discuss outgrowing friendships, seeing black people take recreational drugs in non-stereotypical ways, and how the devil (read: Lawrence) always shows up when you’re on the path to happiness.
