By the end of the first episode of the season, though, Bela and Eric kissed.

They spent the next few episodes hooking up non-exclusively before finally making it official in “Taking Shots.”

This relationship easily could have stretched out for another season or two.

Instead, though, within one episode of becoming official, Bela cheated on Eric.

The episode after that, he found out and dumped her.

Even Bela and Eric had a clear spark from early on.

Once again, though, the show’s pacing ruined the opportunity for a more nuanced romantic storyline.

In the following episode, “Parents Weekend 2,” Bela and Arvind got together.
