Warning! Spoilers ahead for Sex Education season 4.

Summary

The show suggests that Maeve has the potential to become a published author, but whether or not her book will actually be published remains uncertain.

Otis's friends have found their life purposes, but his future beyond Cavendish College remains uncertain.

Sex Education season 4 leaves several important questions unanswered. Although the show continues to be popular, Netflix must conclude this highly praised coming-of-age series as it naturally progresses. As Otis and his peers transition from Moordale Secondary, they encounter a new environment that requires adaptation. While Cavendish College is more accepting than their previous school, transferring to another educational institution presents its own challenges.

In its fourth season, Sex Education on Netflix aims to provide a fitting conclusion for Otis and his friends. By confirming the show's fate prior to its release, it allows for the proper resolution of significant plot lines, such as the controversial romance between Maeve and Otis, as well as Eric's destiny. While Netflix ensures that all major storylines are addressed before the show reaches its official conclusion, it is inevitable that some intriguing questions may remain unanswered. It is currently unknown whether these questions will ever be addressed in a future forum.

10 Does Maeve & Otis Ever Get Back Together?

Following their separation in the season 3 finale of Sex Education, fans finally witness the highly anticipated romance between Maeve and Otis. Regrettably, their relationship is short-lived. Maeve’s decision to return to the US solidifies her determination to leave Moordale, which contradicts Otis’ contentment in remaining in their small hometown. Despite their lingering love for each other, Sex Education concludes with their breakup, leaving fans to wonder if there is any possibility of a reunion in the future.

9 Will Maeve’s Southchester Book Get Published?

Maeve was on the verge of giving up her dreams of becoming a writer until a heartfelt conversation with Jean served as a turning point, persuading her to complete her study abroad program. Despite the discouragement from Thomas Molloy, Dan Levy's publisher, a publisher contacts Maeve to inquire about her novel in-progress, Southchester. The outcome of its publication remains uncertain, but this development serves as a promising sign that Maeve possesses all the necessary skills to become a successful published author.

8 Does Maeve Ever Return To Moordale?

In Sex Education season 4, Maeve firmly asserts that her true happiness lies outside of Moordale, leading to her split with Otis. Nevertheless, this doesn't imply she will never come back to her roots, especially if she achieves her aspiration of becoming a writer. In that case, she could potentially spend her writing days in Moordale, rekindling her bond with her siblings.

7 Does Otis & O Team Up?

6 How Does Cal’s Operation Go

Otis' primary storyline in season 4 of Sex Education centers around his encounters with a fellow student sex therapist, known as O, at Cavendish College. Initially embroiled in a fierce rivalry, characterized by their efforts to discredit one another publicly, the two eventually come to realize their shared expertise in the field. O goes as far as suggesting a partnership with Otis, but despite letting go of any hostility towards her, he remains undecided about accepting her offer.

Cal's journey of transitioning becomes a significant but subdued storyline in season 4 of Sex Education. The show deftly showcases the arduous decision-making process and the subsequent physical and emotional challenges faced by individuals embracing their true selves. Ultimately, the united efforts of Cavendish College result in organizing a fundraiser to support Cal's operation. However, the series intriguingly leaves the audience uncertain about their future.

5 Does Jackson’s Father Eventually Accept Him

One of the fascinating storylines in Sex Education season 4 revolves around Jackson's quest to discover his ancestry. Following a worrisome health scare, he becomes intrigued by the idea of finding his biological father. Unfortunately, instead of a joyous reunion, Jackson's father mercilessly rejects him. Although his moms provide solace, it remains intriguing to see if Jackson will ever receive recognition from his biological father.

4 Does Ruby & Otis Get Back Together

The inclusion of Ruby and Otis being together in Sex Education season 3 brought about a positive improvement in the show. Unfortunately, due to the show's previous commitment of focusing on an Otis and Maeve romance, Netflix had to separate the couple, despite their compatibility. As Sex Education season 4 concludes with Maeve returning to America, there is still a possibility for Otis and Ruby to reignite their relationship in the future. Considering their interactions throughout the final season, it is evident that Otis and Ruby are a wonderful match, especially considering they will continue to see each other at school, giving them the chance to reconcile.

3 Does Mr. and Mrs. Groff Get Back Together

2 Does Dan Find Out About Baby Joy?

Following a divergent narrative course from the rest of the show, the Groff family's journey in season 4 of Sex Education stands as a distinct entity. This deliberate separation provides ample opportunity for the Netflix series to intricately explore their individual arcs as they navigate through the complexities of repairing their relationships. While Mr. and Mrs. Groff's night together hints at a lingering love, Sex Education gracefully defers a full-fledged reunion for the couple. Instead, the culmination of their storyline manifests in a heartwarming scene where Adam's parents, coalesced in their family abode, joyfully bond over shared moments of television bliss.

The identity of Joy's father remained a puzzling question for viewers after the third season of Sex Education. In order to unravel this mystery, Jean decided to conduct a DNA test, which revealed that Dan, an unexpected character in the show, is the biological father. During the fourth season, Jean's sister Joana develops a relationship with Dan, but they eventually part ways. In the finale, Otis' mother extends an invitation to Dan to visit her home. However, the series leaves us in suspense as to whether Jean ultimately reveals his connection to their daughter, Joy.

1 What’s Otis’ Future

Despite technically being an ensemble, Sex Education presents Otis as the show's main character. He initiated the famous sex therapy in Moordale, which set everything in motion for the Netflix series. His connection with Maeve has played a vital role in the show's overall narrative, although it hasn't been executed as well as it could have been. Nevertheless, in the final season of Sex Education, Otis' storyline is arguably the most uninteresting and lacking in inspiration. His struggles mirror those he has faced in the past.

Furthermore, Otis is the only character in the main trio of Sex Education who lacks a clear future. Maeve decides to pursue her writing career in the US and is already receiving interest from Southchester, hinting at her potential as a published author. Eric, on the other hand, discovers his life's purpose and chooses to move forward despite his fears. However, Otis' destiny beyond attending Cavendish College for higher education remains uncertain.
