family and her two best friends: Cyrus Goodman (Joshua Rush) and
Buffy Driscoll (Sofia Wylie).
The episode, which aired on Friday,
ended with 13-year-old Cyrus and Thelonious “TJ” Kippen (Luke
Mullen) holding hands on a bench.
In the show's second season premiere,
Cyrus came out gay to this friends.
Mullen confirmed that his character
ended up with Cyrus. “TYRUS [TJ + Cyrus] IS. ENDGAME,” he wrote

“Honored to be a part of such a
groundbreaking show,” he tweeted separately. “I hope my character
can inspire people to be proud of who they are and love who they
love.”
