Issa and Lawrence have had some of the most frustrating scenes to watch because of how hardheaded and stubborn the two of them are, but season two sees an official close to the former lovers' story. The season begins with the aftermath of their explosive breakup in season one, with Lawrence dating Tasha and Issa attempting to get back into the dating scene. The two end up sleeping together after Lawrence comes to Issa's place for his mail. They subsequently avoid one another until they're forced to be civil for Derek's birthday party. A heated argument occurs, and the two exchange dangerously low blows. They don't speak again until the final episode, taking place a month later.
In a surprisingly mature move, Issa and Lawrence both apologise for their parts in the erosion of their relationship. They acknowledge how they both messed up and they will always still love one another, and they hug through their tears. As Lawrence turns to leave and say goodbye, we see a vision of the life they could have had — one where they forgive each other, get married, and have a beautiful baby — before Issa snaps out of it. She says goodbye and finally, finally means it.
