Note: The following story contains spoilers from “The Sex Lives of College Girls” Season 3, Episode 2.

It’s the end of the road for Reneé Rapp’s Leighton Murray on “The Sex Lives of College Girls.”

News broke in 2023 that Rapp would be stepping down as a series regular in the Max series as she focuses on her music, and her departure was wrapped up in a two-episode arc at the start of Season 3.

After the Season 3 premiere saw Leighton commuting to an advanced math program at a not-so-nearby college, she gets word in Episode 2 that MIT is willing to admit her as a transfer student — the very next week.
