This post contains major spoilers for Never Have I Ever Season 3. Proceed with caution.

Never Have I Ever Season 3 said to hell with love triangles and introduced a love…square? A love cube? What I’m trying to say is that Devi (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) finally develops a third (!!!) crush, and it’s about time.

While Ben Gross (Jaren Lewison) and Paxton Hall-Yoshida (Darren Barnet) are still very much in the picture in Season 3 of Mindy Kaling and Lang Fisher’s beloved Netflix series, we also meet a new boy named Nirdesh (Des for short) who’s played by the dreamy Anirudh Pisharody.

If you’ve already devoured the latest ten episodes, you know all about that steamy Season 3 ending. But if you’re desperate to find out who Devi ends up with before the finale, we’re here to help. Again, we must stress that this post WILL spoil Devi’s Season 3 romances. She can only chose one man this time around — since dating two didn’t work out so well — so prepare for heartbreak.

Who Does Devi End Up With in Season 3 of Never Have I Ever? Ben, Paxton, or Des?

Buckle up, folks. We’ve got a wild ride ahead. Season 2 ended with Devi and Paxton making their relationship official at the school dance, so Season 3 kicks off with them full-on dating. It’s smooth sailing for two weeks until the Daxton bubble bursts and Devi’s haters creep in.

Once Devi starts noticing how classmates react to her and Paxton, she feels insecure and doubts Paxton’s feelings for her. A group of mean girls assume that Paxton is only with Devi because she’s having sex with him, since they don’t think he’d be content taking things slow. The rumors start messing with Devi’s head and she feels pressured to sleep with Paxton even though she’s not ready. Then, a troll anonymously DMs Devi to warn her Paxton isn’t who she thinks he is — as if she wasn’t stressed enough!

Paxton tells Devi not to engage with the troll, but her curiosity gets the best of her and she seeks the girl out. She learns the messages are from Hailey, Paxton’s ex-BFF who tells Devi that Paxton slept with and then ghosted her. Not cool, bro!

Devi tells Paxton she can’t be with him unless he apologizes to Hailey. After a brief separation, Paxton tells Hailey (and all the other girls in school he’s wronged) that he’s sorry, which makes Devi happy. But when Paxton and Hailey start getting close again, Devi gets jealous. Devi keeps pressing Paxton about why he wants to date her, and he finally has enough. He tells Devi, “I really like you, but I don’t think we can have a real relationship until you like yourself.” Ouch.

The two break up and shortly after their split Paxton gets a new girlfriend. Devi, still heartbroken, plans to attend a house party Paxton and his new girl will be at so she can act like their relationship doesn’t bother her. Devi’s mom Nalini (Poorna Jagannathan) tells her she can go to the party as long as she brings Des, the teenage son of her new friend Rhyah (Sarayu Blue). Devi reluctantly agrees, assuming Des will be a total nerd, but SURPRISE, he’s smokin’ hot. The two hit it off at the party and Des even offers to help her make Paxton jealous. They start dancing and flirting, and by the end of the night Devi officially has a new crush.

After a rocky ghosting sesh, Des and Devi start dating in secret. Unfortunately, Dev goes to a different school and whenever they’re together their moms are always hovering, so they rarely get alone time. To solve that problem, Devi tricks her mom into going out so she can invite Des and his friends over for a game night. Thanks to Des’ friend Parker (Deacon Phillippe), the night takes a turn and Des leaves before he and Devi have time to hook up. The next day, Des’ mom catches him and Devi making out in his room and calls Nalini over for backup. But in a twist, Nalini gives Devi permission to date Des, so they make things official.

Des and Rhyah accompany Nalini to Devi’s orchestra concert, but before she takes the stage she thinks she sees her dad in the audience and flees. Rhyah finds her in the bathroom crying, and after the concert, she tells Des he needs to break up with Devi because she has too many issues.

Ben overhears Rhyah talking smack after the concert and lets Devi know like the good friend he is. After Devi and Des break up, she fears she’ll be a virgin for life, so Ben hands her a coupon for “ONE FREE BOINK” and tells her if she’s still a virgin when she’s an old lady he’ll sleep with her. Speaking of Ben, he has quite the eventful Season 3 himself. His girlfriend Aneesa (Megan Suri) breaks up with him and he asks his art tutor on a date, all while secretly crushing on Devi.

After Devi decides to spend her senior year at The Shrubland School in Colorado, Ben tells her he’ll miss her and the two share a moment. Devi later decides to stay at Sherman Oaks, and with minutes left in the episode we see her knocking on someone’s door. Ben, fresh out of the shower, opens it and asks her what she needs. She hands him the “ONE FREE BOINK” coupon he gave her. They kiss, he shuts his bedroom door, and the end credits roll. HOT!

So there you have it, Team Bevi. Season 3 ends with Devi and Ben smooching. As for Season 4? Who freaking knows.
