Andi Mack Recap: Cyrus' Coming Out Journey Begins in Season 2 Premiere

Disney Channel’s Andi Mack kicked off its second season on Friday with a breakup, a makeup and multiple game-changing shakeups.

Of course, all of the above was immediately eclipsed by an emotional scene between Cyrus and Buffy, during which — as previously revealed by Disney Channel earlier this week — he told her that he has feelings for Jonah. The moment, while relatively brief, felt honest and realistic, so I’ll let the two characters speak for themselves here:

Buffy: Are you OK? Did you already order the baby taters?
Cyrus: I don’t want any baby taters.
Buffy: You’re scaring me.
Cyrus: I’m scaring me too.
Buffy: What is it?
Cyrus: Last night when we were watching Andi and Jonah, you asked me am I happy for Andi, and I said, “Yes, I’m happy for Andi.” But I’m also not happy.
Buffy: How come? … Are you jealous? … Cyrus, do you like Andi? … You like Jonah.
Cyrus: Buffy, I feel weird. Different.
Buffy: Cyrus, you’ve always been weird, but you’re no different.
Cyrus: I’m glad I told you.
Buffy: Me too.
Cyrus: But the thought of telling anyone else…
Buffy: You’ll be OK, I promise.
Cyrus: This is really bad timing. I just got a girlfriend.

Despite opening up to one friend, Cyrus insisted that he isn’t ready to tell anyone else — not Andi, and definitely not Iris. So he asked Buffy to be “patient and not judgmental,” which he recognized are not exactly her strengths.
