At a predominantly white Ivy League college, a group of black students navigate various forms of racial and other types of discrimination.

"Chapter VI"

Samantha berates campus police for drawing a gun on Reggie at the party, while the BSU have a heated debate over campus police and how to make a change. Al calls for the snitch who called the cops found, while Coco calls for managing 'blackness' having grown up in Chicago. Kurt approaches Samantha for something to stop the racial tension, but is shot down. Reggie misses his appointment with the Dean about the matter, so Samantha organizes a blockade of the Student Pep Rally. By meeting Gabe's friends for coffee, Samantha is reminded that the reason Reggie missed his meeting is because he has been made a public victim. After tracking Reggie down, they go to an open mic cafe where Reggie reads his poetry about that experience. Heading home, Reggie opens up about how he sees greatness in Samantha.

"Chapter VII"

Gabe goes to Samantha's room to check on her after the Pep Rally blockade fails. Samantha tells him she was taking care or Reggie, and that causes Gabe to suspect something happened between the two. At the next black student caucus Troy announces that a town hall will be held on the issue, which the BSU is quick to call for it to be protested not only by black students, but by all marginalized groups on campus. Joelle and Gabe are tasked with gathering support from these groups and along the way he asks her for advice regarding his doubts with Samantha. Gabe then admits to calling the cops at the Addison party to Joelle. The next morning the Independent releases the audio of Gabe's 911 call which Samantha, as well as the rest of the black students take badly and Gabe no longer welcome with them.

"Chapter X"

The final episode of the first season focuses on all the main cast rather than one as all previous episodes have. While Reggie goes to read his poem on the campus radio, Samantha and Gabe talk outside the studio. Samantha apologies for not having his back after the publication of the 911 call, but Gabe confronts about her having slept with Reggie and that he doesn't know if he is willing to forgive her for it. Shortly after Lionel arrives and learns about the intent to integrate Armstrong-Parker through Samantha. After digging deeper, he learns that the Hancocks have pushed similar policy before, however when he presents this to Silvio he is once again shot down, this time because the Hancocks are the founders and primary sponsor of the 'Independent'. As night falls and the town hall is set to start, it becomes apparent that not only the BSU, but also students who believe Thane's death has been overshadowed arrive to protest the town hall. Coco, in a grab for power, locks Troy outside with the protesters and takes control of the town hall. As the final question rolls around, Coco feels pressured and passes the mic onto Lionel, who proceeds to surprise everyone when he publicly discloses the universities shady dealings with the Hancocks and having uploaded an article to the Independent's site with the proof. At the same time, a group of students led by Pastiche's staff arrive with the intent to show solidarity for the campus police. The combination of this all finally pushes all protesters past a boiling point and Troy, sick of being a puppet, grabs a shovel, smashes a glass pane and is promptly arrested for destruction of property by campus police.
