I’m thrilled Euphoria is back on our screens but, truthfully, I’ve been missing some of my faves from seasons past. Luckily, Blind Date is filling the void: Barbie Ferreira stopped by last week and today, none other than Storm Reid is in the building. Let’s take a moment to appreciate the power of a date with Willa!
Willa’s path to guessing Storm’s identity wasn’t totally smooth. Storm’s multi-hyphenate status made it difficult to know where to start, but thankfully, her clear disdain for UCLA was a huge clue. She tried to throw Willa a bone by describing the plot of Euphoria, but it registered in Willa’s mind as Spring Breakers. Easy mistake! Eventually, they got on the right track and the date officially began.
The pair wasted no time diving into Cosmo reader questions, which revealed that Storm has a big crush on someone with a perfect face, that she refuses to slide into anyone’s DMs (she tried once, didn’t work), and that she actually loves dating other celebrities. (I’m so glad someone finally admitted that, honestly.) They talked Euphoria and watching Zendaya play video games, the Atlanta pick-up line that works every time, and, of course, her film Roommates. As for A Wrinkle in Time, are you wondering if there might be a sequel? Don’t ask me, watch the ep!
The rest of the date flew by, as any good date does. Storm gave advice to a girl whose boyfriend can’t handle labels (“let him go”) and to someone whose partner listens to their mom more than them. Willa taught her about “breadcrumbing,” they bonded over hating joint-breakup statements, and Storm confirmed she would call off her wedding if the groom delivered AI vows. And you know what, fair! Happy watching!
