Love doesn’t equate to ownership, but Nathan and Lawrence clearly missed that memo. In the penultimate episode of Insecure, Nathan and Lawrence show their childishness by getting into a fight at Tiffany and Derek’s going away party, while Molly’s new boyfriend Taurean shows the exact level of maturity you’re supposed to exhibit when going after the woman you care for.
For five seasons, the dating world in Insecure has largely been seen through the eyes of Issa and Molly. Polyamory, interracial dating, depression, ghosting, and bisexuality have all been explored through the individual romantic relationships of these two. Last night’s episode was fitting, then, with both of their dating pasts coming face-to-face with their current love interests, though resulting in polar opposite responses by those men. To be fair, maybe they would’ve been more similar had Lawrence and Nathan dined on the same delectable cannabis treats as Molly and Taurean.
