In what was hailed as a Disney Channel first, “Andi Mack” took a progressive step last year when it revealed one of its principal characters was gay.

That character, Cyrus Goodman (played by Joshua Rush), continues his journey toward living authentically in this week’s episode by coming out to his best male friend, Jonah Beck (Asher Angel).

Airing Friday, “One in a Minyan” finds Cyrus mourning the death of his grandmother, Bubbe Rose. When Jonah attends the shiva, Cyrus decides the time is right to open up about his sexuality ― that is, if he can summon the nerve.

HuffPost got an exclusive sneak peek at “One in a Minyan” via the behind-the-scenes featurette above. In it, the show’s young cast explain how they approached the Season 3 episode, which was written by Jonathan Hurwitz.
