In the first two episodes of Forever season 1, we saw Justin relentlessly pursue Keisha, attempting to repair their budding relationship after a series of misunderstandings. Now, in the third episode, it's Keisha who has to do the chasing after she's caught conversing with her ex-boyfriend in a not-so-friendly manner. Will there ever be a moment of peace between these two young lovebirds?
Spoilers ahead from Forever episode 3 on Netflix!
Keisha refuses to give up on Justin no matter what
Episode 3 picks up right where episode 2 left off, revealing that Justin misunderstood the interaction between Keisha and her ex, Christian. While it may have seemed like she was entertaining his advances, Keisha actually turned him down. Christian, still feeling guilty about the sex tape and hoping for a second chance, makes it clear he wants her back. Although Keisha doesn’t share those feelings, Christian remains persistent and invites her to a weekend fitness training session featuring a trainer from Nike.
Meanwhile, things are tense between Keisha and Justin as their relationship enters an awkward phase. Justin pretends to be unbothered, but Keisha can tell he’s still upset about her interaction with Christian. She decides to attend the fitness training with Christian, and they end up having a very intense conversation about the sex tape. Keisha confronts him, asking why he sent it in the first place. Christian admits it was a reckless mistake, explaining that he was trying to prove a point to a friend who claimed that white girls were better at oral sex than Black girls. He then apologizes again, but Keisha is still too hurt to hear him out. She grabs her things and leaves the gym.
Keisha is determined to repair things with Justin, so she seeks advice from Chloe. Chloe suggests that Keisha join her at the Brookwood vs. Camden Hall game and use the opportunity to talk to Justin. Taking her friend's advice, Keisha attends the game that evening. After the game, she approaches Justin to discuss what happened at the baseball field, but Justin refuses to listen. As their conversation falters, Christian shows up, causing Justin to walk away. Christian then asks Keisha to the prom, but she doesn’t give him an answer. He walks away afterward.
Later, Justin finally reaches out to Keisha because he misses her. They text back and forth, and eventually, Keisha asks him to meet her the next day at the baseball field. Justin agrees to meet up. The following evening, they sit down to talk at the amphitheater near the field. Their conversation flows smoothly at first, but things take a turn when Keisha admits she agreed to Christian’s prom proposal. This angers Justin, who insists she cancel it. Keisha, however, tells him it’s too late and that she can’t disappoint her mom. With that, they find themselves back in a complicated place in their relationship.
Fast forward, and Camden Hall is facing off against Brookwood once again. Ignoring his coach’s orders, Justin jumps into the game and makes the winning shot. After the game, Keisha tries to talk to him, but he brushes her off. He then receives a text from Darius inviting him to celebrate the win at the local bowling alley. Although he doesn't know how to get there, he continues walking as if he does. Keisha is eager to talk and follows him. Along the way, they finally have a chance to talk and end up making up.
