Sex Education is back, and all we care about is the show’s resident diva, Ruby Matthews (Mimi Keene), who has returned for her throne. Even better: Netflix heard all of our incessant pleas to make her as big of a character as leads Otis (Asa Butterfield), Maeve (Emma Mackey), and Eric (Ncuti Gatwa). In the fourth and final season, praise the sex gods, Ruby is a full-fledged main character with several storylines and a point in a big love triangle.
(Warning: Spoilers ahead for all episodes of Sex Education Season 4.)
Ruby is the only popular kid from Moordale to transfer to Cavendish College at the start of the new season. Her lackeys—Anwar (Chaneil Kular) and Olivia (Simone Ashley)—have vanished from Sex Education. With no friends and a negative attitude (which, let’s face it, is iconic no matter how mean she is), Ruby becomes the biggest outcast at her new school. Poor Ruby is down so bad that she has to do the thing every high school loser in a TV show must do: eat lunch in the bathroom.
