Dear White People 3.08

Chapter VIII

Brooke asks Muffy about what she overheard. Brooke thinks that Muffy should go public with her allegations against Professor Moses Brown. Muffy doesn't want to, Brooke turns to Coco for information. Coco won't help her but unlike the conversation Brooke had with Muffy this one happens with others nearby. Sam, Reggie, Joelle, Troy, and Al soon learn about what Brooke overheard.

Reggie is convinced that Muffy made up the story. Sam, Joelle, and Coco question why he is jumping to Professor Brown's defense. The issue creates a rift between Reggie and Joelle. He goes to see Professor Brown and tells him about the rumor. Moses tells Reggie that Muffy came on to him. Reggie feels better, vindicated, after talking to the professor but Moses explanation doesn't satisfy everyone.

Muffy changes her story. She says that Professor Brown rejected her. She says that why she accused him.

Thoughts

Al is back. It's been a minute.

Brooke gets another spotlight, as do Reggie and Coco.

This is another very good episode. I really like the way it is framed. The parallels between Kelsey's game of Mafia and Muffy's story stand out. The ending is ambiguous. I think that was intentional but I really didn't want it to end where it did.
