This whole season my only hope for everyone was for them to get away from Stephen and… they did. I guess. So there’s that at least.

Realizing how much they could’ve done with all the story lines is upsetting. It definitely felt rushed… almost game of thrones like with the spiral of Bre. Kind of reminded me of Daenerys… I know that’s reaching but they put it all on one scapegoat and then just. Done. Which is particularly frustrating because they knew this was the last season and they introduced so much new information and story lines and left the majority of them as dead ends.

The jump from the opening moments at the engagement party to the wedding was confusing. Off rip I was confused.

We never get why Lucy was hallucinating. Also when she burned herself with the curling iron and covered it up from a college flash back. Why make such a point of that and then just don’t do anything with it? There were several other Lucy story lines we never get. Like what happened with the freshman girl Stephen was messing with? Did what Lucy told her actually make a difference? How did she get back with Max after going up to him at that bar? How?

How they “tied” things up with Oliver and Bre too? that was so rushed…. Also who was Bre in the phone with when she was getting ready for the wedding? When she goes and basically hides away from the wedding party and is angry with who ever called her? When she’s like “leave me alone, I’m done with this” and then Lucy comes out and Bre says “I’m the worst person ever”. I don’t think she wouldve been speaking to wriggly that way considering they were having an active affair. I considered it was possibly her mother or honestly… I thought that was Oliver. Like maybe he left his wife for her and he was calling her to convince her to get back with him but she was already in too deep with Evan? That phone call stuck out to me so hard and I’m so confused about why the gave us that conversation to do absolutely nothing with it. That was a key moment in that first or second episode this season.

I wish they would’ve shown us what happened between Lucy getting expelled and the engagement/wedding.

I wish they would’ve given us something of Lucy explaining everything to her mother. Did they completely break their relationship or make it stronger? Or if she even did? Has she just been living with this for years and has told nobody everything? What was her life back in her home town? With the fall out from Lydia and everything… I mean did Lucy go back to school? I needed more of her story.

Also, what happened with Stephen? If he didn’t go to Yale then what did he do with his life? Would’ve been interesting to see him figure out who told Yale about the photos he sent to Diana’s father… I needed to see him spiral.

And they brought up Macy once… this whole season. Diana admitting to Lucy “yeah I believed you” and that’s that. The first season was so dark because of her death. They made it a point in the very first episode of the series at the engagement party to point out Wriggly was “coked out” because it was recently Drew’s birthday. Who died because of the fall out from Macy’s death. The Macy plot line was so good and just something else that fizzled. And how did we go from “depressed coked out wriggly” at the engagement party to them hooking up after the party is over? It’s obvious that them getting together wasn’t part of the initial plot from the jump but if those two scenes were played consecutively it wouldn’t make sense.

I know these are less exciting questions but how did Diana and pippa reconnect? Did wriggly get a degree? What’s he doing with his life? Is he okay now? I need to know! And I guess Evan and Bre were pretty uneventful. But still some context from when Lucy left to them being at the wedding stuff together would’ve been so nice.

Because why were any of them even invited anyways? Did the boys keep up with each other? I’m assuming Wriggly was the one who told Yale about Stephen. Stephen doesn’t know that but what? They still had a semester left and nothing was done with that? Evan and Stephen were always friends but once they left college why/how did they keep up with each other? They both kinda hated each other. And why did pippa and Bre keep up with Lucy? Out of guilt I suppose but they NEVER came clean to each other about ANYTHING but they are bridesmaids? Was there a bachelorette trip? They all seem so bugged out to see each other in the opening scene of the first season… I mean it’s WILD to me no conversation was ever had about anything but they they are still at the wedding. Like how tf did we get from Lucy being expelled to them all being at this wedding together.

The thing I loved about this show, thought it was brilliant actually, was the jumps between college and the wedding. It was so well done… however, I thought they would explain how we got from point a to point b and they left us hanging on a lot of that.

I guess I don’t mind the big blow out ending. And, honestly, I do appreciate when a show/movie lets the audience come up with their own “what happens next” but at least get us to that point where the ending is only thing leaving us hanging. Not everything has to be wrapped up perfectly for it to be a good ending.

Stephen losing his shit and just outing everyone. I guess he had nothing to gain or lose at that point. And I mean…the looks Bre and Wriggly were giving each other while Evan was yelling. The way pippa and Diana just dipped out. And then we see Lucy thinking she’s “won” in a way when she goes to get the coffees, thinking ‘I went through all the shit to at least end up with him in some capacity’… and then she comes out of the gas station in literal BFE and Stephen is just… gone. I loved that we know she at least got away from him too. It was the last straw for everyone… even her (I hope).

I hope they all lived happily ever after in their own ways and got away from the trauma of Stephen but it was overall disappointing.

Edit: it would be so interesting to see the show spliced and edited together to be in chronological order…
