Sex Education season 3 recap: Heartbreaks, love triangles, rain-drenched romances and everything you need to know

As we gear up for the final season of Sex Education, it's hard to believe it's been a year since the whirlwind of emotions that was Season 3. Let's take a trip down memory lane and relive the highs and lows of Moordale Secondary's most memorable year.

Otis's rollercoaster love life

Otis, our beloved protagonist, found himself in a complicated love triangle. Otis and Ruby begin hooking up in the summer and decide to go public with their relationship. But as with all teenage romances, things took a turn when Otis couldn't reciprocate Ruby's love confession. The reason? His lingering feelings for Maeve. This led to a heartbreaking split, leaving Ruby devastated.

Moordale's new era under Hope

Moordale Secondary saw a significant shift with the arrival of headteacher Hope Haddon. Initially seeming progressive, Hope's true colors shone when she attempted to rebrand Moordale as a 'sex-free' school. The students protest at the school's open day by holding a play all about sex and Otis tells Hope that sex isn't shameful. Despite their efforts, the school faced closure, marking the end of an era.

Jackson and Cal's fleeting romance

Jackson's love life took an interesting turn with the introduction of Cal, a non-binary student. Their budding romance faced challenges, with Cal concerned about Jackson's understanding of their gender identity. Their relationship, though short-lived, highlighted the complexities of teenage relationships and identity.

Jean's journey to motherhood

Jean's pregnancy journey was filled with ups and downs. From rekindling her relationship with Jakob to facing a life-threatening labor, Jean's resilience shone through. She experienced a very difficult and almost life-threatening labour, but she survives and the family decides to name the baby Joy. However, a paternity twist left fans on the edge of their seats.

Eric's quest for true love

Eric's journey of self-discovery took him to Lagos, Nigeria, where a chance encounter led to a split with Adam. “It’s not your fault,” Eric tells Adam. “We’re just going in different directions.” Adam's subsequent coming out to his mother was a poignant moment, showcasing his growth.

The will-they-won't-they saga of Maeve and Otis reached its climax in Season 3. After a series of misunderstandings and missed opportunities, the duo finally confessed their feelings in a rain-soaked scene. Later in the season, they also admit that their clinic was partly about being closer to each other and they kiss as the rain pours down on them. However, Maeve's decision to pursue her dreams in the US left their future uncertain.
