Theres so much forGood Troubleto get into in its finale that they had to supersize it.
Ninety whole minutes of drama, baby!
Listen, its not like I dont love a good finale cliffhanger Isaac coming up on that elevator?!
Reader, I gasped I am a human woman!
But, like,allthe cliffhangers?
Its time for some of these plots to level up, you know?
While there arent many answers in this episode, that doesnt mean nothing is happening.
Every main character has an arc!
The Coterie is alive with angst!
(Do you smell it?
Thats some future drama brewing.)
But only if Isaac doesnt first.
Malika is at a loss for words.
But I am not!
And is Malika even interested in him anymore, or is this just going to be a closure thing?
This is the punch in of cliffhanger I am very much onboard for.
Callie
On the opposite side of the spectrum is the Tommy Sung case.
The defense team needs to recover fromthat bombshell last week: Tommy and Zack were in a romantic relationship.
If Kathleen is only looking out for herself, she will refuse to put Tommy on the stand.
And just when you think the worst of Kathleen, she ends up doing whats best for her client.
Callie questions Tommy and allows him to tell his side of the story.
When Rothman tells Jamie to cross-examine since Jamie is able to rile Callie up, Jamie straight-up refuses.
Jamie Hunter is back in this game, people!
Because Rothman is forced to do the cross and he goads Tommy into exploding with anger.
Its not a good look.
Thankfully, Kathleen gets Tommy to give some heartbreaking testimony about losing the person he loved.
And yet, still, the jury could go either way.
It turns out we will not be learning Tommys (or Kathleens!)
It feels cheap to drag it out this way!
He thinks using her childhood as an excuse is too easy.
She needs to have the courage to live her life.
Shes scared What if this is as good as it gets?
she asks, in tears.
I only wish she had this epiphany in arealconversation.
Gael
But we know she sure as shit wont be staying for Gael.
Its inevitable after Isabella returns from the hospital.
This breakup is amicable, but wow, it is so sad!
Will she say yes?
Will these two get together romantically?
Doesnt raising a baby at the Coterie sound like one of the worst ideas in actual history?
There weretwo raccoons loosenot that long ago, lest you forget.
They even throw in a surprise sketch celebrating Alice.
Also possibly over: Alice and Sumi.
It just isnt worth the risk, and she thinks they should stay friends.
Id be more devastated if I actually thought Alice was going to stick to this decision.
Which, as Mariana informs her friends, is more than similar its the exact same thing.
And moreover, its funded by Jackie Morton at the Hallis Group.
You know, the Jackie whoturned BB downafter hearing about their reputation for drama at Speckulate.
Mariana isnt having any of it.
The plan seems less than fully baked.
Is this going to be a little double-cross-app development action?
I have many questions.
They are mostly What?
Davia
Youd think after all this time so much time!
that wed finally learn if Davia is choosing Matt or Dennis.
Even if its Matt!
Just lay it on us, already!
He remembers what it was like to be them and wants to offer support.
Everybody involved deserves a vacation for figuring that out.
Davia is so proud to see how far Dennis has come.
And then the two get weepy together because Dennis tells Davia that shes the reason hes still here.
She never gave up on him, and he knows he wouldnt be alive today without her.
It might be my favorite scene of the entire season?
The other thing this story line offers up is a new musical number.
Davia imagines herself onstage belting out another Sara Bareilles heartbreaker and thinking about big moments in both her relationships.
Now its time to let us know what she wants.
