Platonic season 2 revolves around the chaotic friendship between Sylvia and Will as the duo together navigates through life and depicts what exactly an actual adult friendship looks like. The last few episodes were a rollercoaster of emotions, fun, and drama as Will messed up things when he realized that he was not sure of getting married to Jenna, and on the other hand, Sylvia, who had kicked off her event planning business, had started facing consequences.
The previous episode titled, ‘’Fore!’’ saw Will and Sylvia heading to San Diego, where he was supposed to end things with Jenna (now his ex-fiance), but got fascinated by the golf club instead. He kicked off a match with Jenna’s father and dragged everyone along with him into the game.
Fans must know that things never fail to mess up when Will and Sylvia are together, and that’s what was bound to happen. Will accidentally hit the golf ball in Jenna’s father's eyes. The tragedy turned into intimacy between Will and Jenna at the hospital, making him reconsider the relationship and go ahead with the decision to marry her.
But Sylvia somehow opens up about Will’s initial plans, and right before the duo exchanges the vows, the tables are turned around for him. Jenna walked out of the wedding by punching him straight in his nose and called off the wedding on the spot.
Jenna, who is also Will’s boss, makes things worse for him at the office. The start of episode 5 ‘Jeopardy’, saw Will seeking advice from Sylvia when they were heading to catch up on Charlie’s show. He decided not to quit as he had no options left and was out of all the privileges that he had at his workplace.
The duo drove straight from the wedding location to Jeopardy to see Charlie in the show for which he had prepared for years, but ended up making things worse due to his nervousness. The challenges Will could face were teased by Sylvia already. When Will went to his work, he found a new employee named Terry at his desk.
He wasn’t directly fired; instead, Jenna kept Terry around to pressure him into quitting on his own. To irritate Will, Terry had put up a banner that Will had already rejected. To annoy Will even more, Terry also started selling hard seltzers, which Will didn’t like.
Will was about to take the banner down, but Charlie warned him that doing so could be legally risky, so he should think carefully before acting. Meanwhile, Terry was filming everything on his phone, likely to provoke Will and use the video against him.
Despite the warning, Will went ahead, took down the banner, grabbed the seltzers, and left. Will still hasn’t given up, but his actions could get him into serious trouble and might even cost him his job.
Sylvia masters the art of ‘’giving up.’’ In episode 5. She was about to give up on her event planning contract that she took for Charlie’s law firm. She had everything under control until Stewart said that the corporate event was now merging with a retirement party for Frank. The guest list went up to more than 1500 invitees, and she was about to step back for the same.
Charlie called her out for this and convinced her to take up the challenge instead. When Sylvia discussed how Charlie left her furious and asked her to deal with what is in front of her now, Will agreed with Charlie’s point and asked Sylvia to stop doubting herself.
Further to impress Stewart, she lied about the venue and said that she was an exclusive member of the premium club. However, she later owned up that she lied about that, and so she couldn’t make a reservation for the party there. Meanwhile, Stewart denied understanding, as he had made commitments with Frank.
Sylvia, towards the end, went to the receptionist to talk about the same, but before that, she left the club. Will she give up or make it up to Stewart in the upcoming episode?
Both Will and Sylvia are caught up in a mess created by them, and the upcoming episode titled, ‘’Road Trip,’’ will pick up the plot from here on.
