Karma and Amy are back at it again as they try to figure out their relationship and their place in their high school. This time, however, they are distracted by the pressure of planning a school event and dealing with some unexpected guests.
The episode "Remember the Croquembouche" centers around the girls' attempt to create a French-themed cultural fair for their school, complete with a giant croquembouche dessert. As they work on the event, they are forced to confront some of the underlying issues in their friendship and explore their feelings in the process.
One source of tension arises when Karma insists on inviting her ex-boyfriend Liam to the fair, despite Amy's discomfort with the idea. This decision leads to some awkward encounters and open conversations about their feelings towards one another.
Meanwhile, Lauren, the school's resident mean girl, is up to her usual schemes, trying to gain power by sabotaging the event and taking credit for its success. Though she seems to be succeeding at first, Karma and Amy team up to outsmart her and save the day.
Throughout the episode, the theme of cultural identity is front and center, with a highlight on the complexities of being "fake" or pretending to be something you're not. As Karma and Amy navigate their own issues, they also engage with various aspects of French culture and learn to appreciate their own backgrounds in the process.
Overall, "Remember the Croquembouche" is a charming and witty episode that delves deeper into the friendship between Karma and Amy while weaving in larger themes about identity and cultural appreciation.
