Ronny Chieng: International Student is a comedy series that follows the misadventures of a Malaysian exchange student named Ronny (played by Ronny Chieng himself) as he navigates his way through the challenges of life at a Melbourne university. In episode 2, Ronny continues to face various obstacles as he tries to fit in with his fellow students.

At the beginning of the episode, Ronny is shown struggling to understand the Australian sense of humor. He is confused by his roommate's prank of placing a fake spider on his bed, and is further mystified when the other students react with laughter. Ronny is convinced that Australians are trying to prank him all the time, which makes him paranoid and overly cautious.

Ronny's paranoia is not unfounded, however, as he soon finds out that the other students have been pranking him by drawing on his face when he falls asleep in class. Ronny is incensed by this, but his attempts to retaliate only result in him getting in trouble with the teacher. Ronny feels like everyone is against him, and becomes more and more isolated from his classmates.

In an attempt to make friends, Ronny joins a group of international students who are trying to form a club. The other students are impressed by Ronny's enthusiasm and organizational skills, and ask him to be the president of the club. Ronny is excited by the prospect of leading the group, but quickly realizes that it is harder than he thought. The other students have different ideas about what the club should be, and Ronny struggles to find a compromise that will make everyone happy.

Meanwhile, Ronny's parents come to visit him from Malaysia. Ronny is thrilled to see them, but quickly realizes that his parents are not impressed with his performance at university. They are disappointed that he is not working harder, and are especially critical of his decision to join the international students' club. Ronny feels torn between his desire to make his parents proud and his desire to fit in with his peers.

As the episode reaches its climax, Ronny is faced with a difficult decision. The international students have planned a party to celebrate their new club, but Ronny's parents have invited him to dinner. Ronny is torn between the two events, and is unsure of which one to attend. In the end, Ronny decides to prioritize his family and goes to the dinner with his parents. However, his decision has consequences for his relationship with the other students, who feel that Ronny has abandoned them.

Overall, episode 2 of Ronny Chieng: International Student is a humorous and relatable depiction of the challenges faced by international students. Ronny's struggles to fit in and make friends will resonate with anyone who has experienced the difficulties of being in a new place, and the episode's exploration of cultural differences and misunderstandings is both insightful and entertaining.
