I’m going to say it: Gigi is one of the most underrated characters in the whole show. She’s a plot device with a pulse. She’s a reminder that not every ex is a monster.
Sometimes an ex is just a nice person who happens to have good hair and a solid serve. And that’s okay. In fact, it’s kind of refreshing.
So next time you rewatch season one, don’t roll your eyes at Gigi. Give her a little salute. She did the job. She made Belly think. And then she got out of the way. That’s a true summer hero if you ask me.
