It’s always difficult to watch a season finale when there’s no news yet on whether a show will be coming back for another round, and I would hoped that now, more than two weeks after this episode aired, there would at least be some indication. But that isn’t the case, and so it’s very possible that this is the last of the show that we’ll see. It wasn’t a bad ender, sending most of the characters in interesting directions, not all of them positive. Let’s start with the bad: after a very positive meeting with Gigi’s family, Dani got arrested for criminal contempt of court since she couldn’t bring herself to testify in the trial. That doesn’t seem likely to last or lead to anything, but it’s going to serve to either strengthen or weaken Dani and Gigi’s relationship. Bette didn’t do much to prove to Pippa that she wanted to be with her, and Tina couldn’t say enough to convince Carrie that she wasn’t still in love with Bette. Tina showing up to Bette’s door is not the ending I would have expected for them, but it was also strange that Bette was part of this show and not Tina in the first place. Finley reacted very poorly to her invention but ended up accepting that she needed help, which suggests that she and Sophie may last after all. The same goes for Tom and Alice, since her initial actions were badly received but then she won him over yet again. After all their build-up, Shane and Tess seemed headed towards happiness, but maybe that isn’t in the cards. I would definitely watch more of this show, and I hope we’ll see a season three and beyond.
Season grade: B+
