In Season 18, Lila starts off in a lonely position when she is still coping with the events that happened with ex-boyfriend, Aarav. When her break up is announced via their YouTube channel without her permission, she is left with so much baggage and contemplates an exit from the YouTube gang. However, as one problem is fixed, another arises, when she starts to weigh in on Antony, Phoenix’s boyfriend, and unknowingly risks losing a friendship.
