Threads that Bind

If Taylor and Bela aren't moving toward something romantic in The Sex Lives of College Girls, it's a disservice to both characters. Think about it: Bela's well-documented tendency to not be attracted to "nice" people aligns perfectly with Taylor, who manages to be even meaner than Leighton ever was. Despite that, the two of them have recently reached good terms, with Taylor actively working to curb her alcohol addiction through casual hookups-except she doesn't even know the names of the girls she's sleeping with.

And to top it off, Taylor has made it her personal mission to set Bela up with someone who's her polar opposite, even as the tension between them builds. If this dynamic doesn't lead to Bela realizing she's into Taylor-her exact type but a girl-and Taylor wrestling with her own feelings for Bela because she can't stomach the thought of treating her like just another "hot blonde from September 7th," then what are we even doing here?

Their chemistry practically writes itself, and ignoring it would be missing out on one of the most compelling pairings the show could explore.
