‘Sex Education’ Season 3: Where We Left Off With Each Character!

Our favorite former Moredale High students are back on September 21 for the final season of Netflix’s Sex Education. Season 3 left us with cliffhangers in almost every storyline so it’s time to check back in on our characters!

After two long years since the release of Sex Education season 3, fans finally got new content with Neftlix’s teaser trailer and official photos from the show’s Instagram and we now have insight into possible plotlines for season 4. We know the gang must navigate their new school, Cavendish Sixth Form College, and that we are leaving the U.K. and heading to America to check in on Maeve. The teaser trailer also reveals significant changes by introducing new characters and saying goodbye to others. For those who aren’t rewatching the first three seasons, here is a recap of where we left off with each character.

Otis Milburn

After leaving his true love Maeve a voicemail and not hearing back, Otis (Asa Butterfield) tries to keep things going with Ruby. When he fails to express a reciprocal ‘I love you,’ Ruby breaks up with him. While on a school trip to France, Otis and Maeve miss the bus and get left behind. When forced to speak to each other, Otis recites the voicemail from memory and finally reveals his true feelings for her. In the finale, Otis says goodbye to Maeve as she leaves for America, leaving their future uncertain.

Maeve Wiley

Maeve (Emma Mackey) forgives Issac for deleting Otis’ voicemail, and they have a short-lived romance. It ends when Otis reveals he still loves her, and they kiss. When Maeve tells her mom she can’t afford to go to America, her mom gives her cash to cover the costs. After carefully considering Amiee’s advice, she accepts a spot at a U.S. school. In the finale of season 3, we see her get on the bus, leaving Otis behind.

Eric Effiong

Eric (Ncuti Gatwa) made some crucial discoveries in Nigeria. When he returns home, he admits to Adam that he kissed another guy while he was away. Feeling like Adam is holding him back, he ends their relationship to discover his true self.

Amiee Gibbs

Amiee (Amiee Lou Wood) goes to therapy to help overcome her trauma from the sexual assault on the bus. The sessions lead her to start a journey of self-discovery and ultimately break up with Steve.

Adam Groff

When Eric is in Nigeria, Adam (Connor Swindells) develops an unlikely friendship with Eric’s ex-boyfriend, Rahim, in an effort to make amends. Adam directs all his attention to his beloved cavapoo, Madame. He enters her into a local dog show, where they get an honorable mention for their efforts. Eric breaks up with Adam after revealing the kiss in Nigeria meant something more. To shake off the intense betrayal and heartbreak, he writes Eric a poem and shares it with Rahim.

Ruby Mattews

Ruby (Mimi Keene) confesses her love to Otis, but all he can say back is, ‘That’s nice.’ Heartbroken, she breaks up with Otis. She remains mad at Otis but reveals she doesn’t hate him.

Jackson Marchetti

Jackson (Kedar Williams-Sterling) steps down as Headboy and starts a short-lived relationship with Cal, a non-binary student at Moredale. They ultimately decide they work better as friends.

Vivienne ‘Viv’ Odusanya

Viv (Chinenye Ezeudu) takes over as Headgirl and has a long-distance boyfriend, Eugene. When she realizes Hope doesn’t care for her students, she records her and releases it to the school. This recording ultimately shuts Moredale down.

Isaac Goodwin

Issac (George Robinson) confesses that he deleted Otis’ message to protect Maeve from making a big mistake. When he learns Maeve kissed Otis on the school trip, he lets Maeve go.

Lily Iglehart

Lily (Taynya Reynolds) gets outcasted at school for her alien stories and argues with Ola over them. In the finale, Ola apologizes and reassures Lily that her stories have a place in the world. Despite their argument, Ola and Lily end the season as a happy couple. Sadly, neither character will return for season 4.

Ola

Ola (Patricia Allison) expresses to Lily that she is too involved in her alien stories and not enough in their relationship. Jean’s pregnancy complication reminds Ola of her mother’s death, and she has to confront her feelings of grief. She reunites with Lily after they both admit they’ve been distracted in their relationship.

Dr. Jean Milburn

Jean (Jillian Anderson) gives birth to Jakob’s child, only he may not be the father. We await the results of a paternity test and hopefully, season 4 will provide us with this answer and determine the fate of Jean and Jaokb’s future.

Now that you’re caught up, all that’s left to do is eagerly wait… or rewatch the first 3 seasons!
