When it comes to the Black-ish spinoff series Grown-ish, Zoey Johnson (Yara Shahidi) spent years trying to figure out her own path in life as a young adult at the fictional Cal U world. As she learned some tough lessons and eventually earned her degree, she left the university behind in the good hands of her brother Junior (Marcus Scribner).
The first half of season 5 saw Junior arrive on campus and become the center of the show, but Zoey's plotline remains and is sure to be addressed as the season continues.
So what can viewers expect with the new episodes? Here's everything we know about Grown-ish season 5.
When is the Grown-ish season 5 finale?
Grown-ish season 5 is back with another new episode, which actually serves as the season finale.
The next episode titled "Cash In Cash Out" airs on Wednesday, March 15, at 10:30 pm ET/PT on Freeform. It becomes available to stream on-demand the next day on Hulu.
Here's a synopsis of what's to come:
"In honor of the Gammas’ annual Last Chance Dance, Junior debates telling Annika how he feels about her, even though he’s friends with her boyfriend. Zoey has a setback at Anti-Muse, sending her into a panic about her future."
Check out a sneak peek of the episode below.
Grown-ish season 5 plot
Since becoming a college freshman, Junior has been blazing his own path into adulthood, which is quite different from that of his sister. Not only has he become a member of a fraternity and managed to earn more popularity than his sibling, but he's also somehow been able to avoid Zoey's signature messy love triangles, and even squares that she once did — for now at least.
So far in Grown-ish season 5, a big plotline has been whether or not Junior and Annika (Justine Skye) will hop into a relationship. Although the two have chemistry and Junior has practically been chasing her, when she admitted to wanting to be with him, he shockingly turned her down not wanting to commit to anyone for the time being.
Although the two agreed to be friends moving forward, something gives us the impression they won't stay in the friend zone for long.
Zoey's presence on the show has been noticeably scarce as of late given she's in New York trying to run a business. Her absence hasn't been great for her relationship with boyfriend Aaron (Trevor Jackson), so she's inching toward being put in the inevitable position of having to make tough choices when it comes to work/life balance and her future.
