The latest episode explored the stories of the three girls and their new roommate Kayce. However, one particular scene baffled many audience members, who took to Reddit to discuss their thoughts and opinions. The scene involved Bela (played by Amrit Kaur) sharing an intimate moment with their Essex College mascot, Franklin the Fox.

However, fans had more to say about how the scene was technically presented instead. Under a Reddit thread on r/SexLivesCollegeGirls, one user wrote:

"I can't remember if they showed the actor actually speaking once he pulled the head off but the voice didn't fit to me."

Many fans were of the opinion that the dubbing for Franklin the Fox did not match the audio in the scene. Some viewers also pointed out that the editing looked different, with a visual dichotomy being apparent in the shots:

While some fans wondered whether two different actors were cast in the role of the Fox, others noted that they felt the dubbing was off-sync for Bela at times as well:

What happened with Franklin the Fox and Bela in The Sex Lives of College Girls season 3 episode 4?

One of the scenes from The Sex Lives of College Girls season 3 episode 4 that became a much-discussed topic among fans was the interaction between Bela and the college mascot Franklin the Fox.

In the past few episodes, Bela struggled with her crush on Arvin and then dealt with frustration when she found out he had a girlfriend. However, she thought meeting up with a stranger in the Fox's mascot costume was a good way for her to find some release.

Bela even told her roommates that she might spend some time with Franklin the Fox. Following this, in the library, she shared some steamy moments with the mascot. However, this intimacy still did not help Bela get over her crush on Arvin.

In the final moments of the episode, she tells the Fox that she cannot be with him and wants to spend some time on her own. Subsequently, Franklin the Fox took off his mask in an attempt to win her over, but Bela remained firm on her decision.
