What Happens to Issa and Lawrence on Insecure Season 4?
If you're one of the fans who was frustrated with Issa and Lawrence deciding to get back together, you're probably feeling a little vindicated right now. The pair made a really convincing argument of why they could work this time around, and at the beginning of episode ten, it was really hard not to believe them. When Lawrence reveals that he got the job in San Francisco, Issa is genuinely happy for him and not worried about where the move will take their relationship. She tells him that she's at a point in her life where she wants to focus on what makes her happy and Lawrence is included in that. She even mentions possibly moving to San Francisco to join him if their relationship progresses further! Lawrence is shocked (same, honestly) but happy, telling her that he wants to work on their relationship just as much.
Unfortunately for them, life isn't going to make anything that easy. Near the end of the episode, Lawrence visits Issa to break some news: Condola came to see him the other night and revealed that she's pregnant. In a flashback interwoven with Lawrence and Issa's conversation, Condola tells Lawrence that she plans on keeping the baby, even though they aren't together. Lawrence tells Issa that she's the woman he wants and he won't be getting back with Condola, but it's all too much for her. They have enough baggage from their past without adding baby mama drama to the equation.
This one hurts, I'm not going to lie. Issa and Lawrence really seemed like they were going to make it, which is the all-time tell that it was all going to go wrong. There are plenty of people who can handle being with a single parent, but I don't see Issa being able to handle this new aspect of Lawrence's life. It feels like Insecure is telling us all that getting back with your ex never works, and anyone who is trying to, should stop immediately. We get it, okay! Is it too late to wonder what Nathan's up to?
