I really despised Maya's boyfriend. He treated her poorly from the start and Maya endured it because her self-esteem has been beaten down by one potential boyfriend after another. This boyfriend doesn't even have any redeeming qualities --- he's rude, insensitive,selfish, unfunny and treats Maya poorly. But, Maya is so desperate for someone to show her any kind of affection that she puts up with his abusive behavior. When he broke up with her, he did it in such a way as to traumatize her with a song that would always remind her of the harsh breakup.
This was sad to watch especially since I was rooting for Maya to be happy at least in the final episode of this season. Well, as the episode continues I got my wish. Not only did her brother and friends stick up for her by egging (actually "squiding") the jerk's house, but Maya got her first kiss. And that kiss wasn't just from anyone, but from a kind gentle and attractive boy (he's been on the show from the very start) who was even sweet enough to ask for permission before kissing her. The truly beautiful part was that he told her to think of that kiss whenever she heard the song that jerk traumatized her with. He basically replaced a horrible memory with a beautiful one. For that powerful moment, I say "bravo" to this show.
There were many good moments in this season 2 finale, but I just wanted to share my favorite.
