Yara Shahidi's 'Zoey' Seeks Love Advice In This Exclusive 'Grown-ish' Sneak Peek

By Sydney Scott · Updated December 6, 2020

Dating can be pretty tricky, but dating in college can be even tougher.

In this ESSENCE exclusive, Grown-ish‘s Zoey Johnson (Yara Shahidi) is struggling to figure out what to do about her new boo Cash Mooney (Da’Vinchi), Cal U’s star athlete who Zoey has been tutoring and hooking up with. 

Seems Cash went off on a little Instagram rant and Zoey is trying to figure out if a breakup is on the horizon. Who does she turn to for advice? Her brutally honest besties, Sky and Jazz Forster (musicians Chloe and Halle), who tell her that she doesn’t need a Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna situation.

Looks like it’s time to ditch Cash.

Zoey has already struggled with dating at Cal U. She tried to juggle two boos, Aaron and Luca, but that ended in flames. And, she’s still not quite sure if she’s hooking up or dating anyone because no one’s quite sure what the definition of hooking up is. 

College sure can be rough. 

Grown-ish airs  Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Freeform.
