This is a bizarro season. Think they tried to appeal to female viewers too much.

I think the show was slated to run for a certain amount of episodes, but they got extra seasons because of high ratings.

So now,they are just trying to extend everything out to fill episodes...it's all filler.

More far fetched than teen who lives in NYC getting into stranger's car was Tariq drinking from a straw after that stranger. even more far fetched is a Black kid cursing his parents out and not getting FIRE slapped out of him.
