Aaron clearly stated that he was ending their relationship because of problems that he has internally, and not necessarily because of what Zoey did (which is accept a job from her ex-boyfriend). Grown-ish includes this scene to show that when something happens while you’re in a relationship, the problem may not always be you. Needless to say, Zoey is heartbroken and cannot believe that Aaron has broken up with her. To not ruin the relationship with jealousy and excessive worrying, Aaron decides that it is for the best if they go their separate ways. It’s understandable how Aaron is feeling because he knows the past that those two share. In season 4, episode 10, Aaron breaks up with Zoey because she and Luca are still friends and Luca recently offered Zoey a job. If you've kept up with Grown-ish, then you know that Zoey has been stuck in a love triangle between Luca and Aaron since the show started. Grown-ish wants to indicate that the relationship she has built with her friends causes them to know how she is and still love Zoey for Zoey! #3- Jealousy The show highlights Zoey’s selfish moments because although she doesn’t intend for it to happen and she is very apologetic afterwards, it doesn’t make what she does right. In the hospital scene, Ana couldn’t even be bothered to be mad at Zoey for bringing up her issues because she already knows how she is (as the main character of the show, Zoey definitely gives off main character vibes!). Her friends still love her and it’s never intentional, which is also why her friends speak up and say something when she does it.
This situation with Ana in the hospital is not the only time that Zoey has been known to put herself first and not be considerate of anyone else’s feelings, she does it quite often. I know everyone has heard the saying “there’s a time and a place for everything.” Well, Zoey should’ve done just that.
Of course, no break-up is ever easy, and it takes time to heal but all of that should've been set aside for a different time because her friend could have nearly died. Her selfishness definitely shows in season 4, episode 11 when Ana gets hit by a car and, without surprise Zoey brings up the fact that Aaron broke up with her. Now it is no secret that Zoey can be a little selfish at times. This episode opened its viewers minds showing us that your parents cannot support us forever, college is where we will gain our first sense of independence and ultimately being independent can probably create a better relationship between us and our parents/guardians.
BLACK ISH SEASON 2 EPISODE 11 CAST HOW TO
Grown-ish incorporated Zoey’s problems with her parents into a storyline to show that although she is “the golden child” of the Johnsons, Dre still had to teach Zoey how to live without depending on them. If Zoey’s parents had never cut her off financially, she would've never learned what it means to go out in the real world and make money on her own. Later in season 2, she received a job offer from the famous rapper Joey Bada$$ as his stylist. Zoey finally got a lesson on what it means to work and actually earn money. So, Zoey started her first official job at the campus bookstore. Doug basically told Zoey to put her pride aside, and that she had to be patient and put in the work if she really wants to do something great.
Eventually, Doug put Zoey in her place after learning she felt like she was too good to work at the campus bookstore where he works and had gotten her a job too. Going from one job to another, Zoey struggled trying to find a job to her “liking” instead of finding a job that will help her pay bills. Of course, Zoey doesn’t take this well and soon after she begins to realize that her dad is not kidding around. To put his foot down, he takes Zoey’s car and tells her that she can stay at Cal U but she’ll have to figure out finances on her own. Her father, Dre, believes he spoiled Zoey too much to the point where she takes no accountability, and everything is handed to her easily. Zoey doesn’t realize how dependent she is on her parents until season 2, episode 11 when her dad cuts her off after finding out that she cheated on her chemistry final and was placed on academic probation.
