Hey friends! So, I just wrapped up watching the finale of And Just Like That… and wow, what a ride! The show has made some pretty head-scratching decisions since it hit our screens, but the series finale? That’s a whole other level. Let’s chat about what went down in those last 15 minutes, because I need to know if I’m the only one feeling this way! 😅
The Thanksgiving Setup
Okay, picture this: it’s Thanksgiving—a time meant for family and laughter—but instead, we’re met with everyone scattered like confetti! Charlotte, Harry, and their kids are happily tucked away at home. Harry’s wrestling with some serious emotional baggage from his cancer battle, and he’s just not feeling the whole holiday vibe at Miranda’s. I totally get it; sometimes, home is where the heart—and comfort—are. 💖
Meanwhile, LTW and Herbert are in their own little bubble, still licking their wounds from that lost election. It’s like, can’t we get a win for our characters for once? And then there’s Seema, braving Adam’s family holiday gathering. This girl usually keeps her distance from such family affairs, but she’s mad about gluten-free pie. Honestly, who wouldn’t be? 😂
Now, let’s not forget Anthony and Giuseppe—spending the day together while grappling with their relationship dynamics. Anthony’s just not ready to take on the ‘mom’ role, and that’s a whole conversation starter right there!
Miranda’s Chaos
So, most of the drama unfolds at Miranda’s place. Carrie arrives, still reeling from a solo lunch that left her feeling all kinds of alone. But wait for it—plot twist: Miranda ditches her to tend to Joy, leaving Carrie to welcome a motley crew of guests. And can we talk about how Brady’s baby mama Mia rolls in with a posse that’s basically a circus? I mean, this is giving me chaotic holiday vibes for sure! 🎉
The day spirals out of control, with one guest named Epcot having some serious bathroom issues (yes, you heard that right!), while Mia starts warming up to Miranda. After the feast, the chaos peaks when Mark tries to use the bathroom and, well, let’s just say the toilet doesn’t cooperate. This is wild, right? What is it with this show and bathroom humor? 🤦♀️
As the guests scatter, we see Carrie left standing there, feeling more isolated than ever. It’s a bittersweet reminder of her journey and the changes she’s faced. But just as things seem to wrap up, Joy returns, bringing some relief to Miranda after her dog’s surgery. It’s like a moment of hope in the chaos!
The Final Montage
And then we reach the end. We see this poignant montage of the gang enjoying pie in their separate homes, while Carrie sits alone in her massive house. It’s heavy, right? She rewrites her book’s epilogue to say, “The woman realized she was not alone—she was on her own.” Talk about a mic drop moment! 🎤
Honestly, I’m mixed about this ending. On one hand, I appreciate that Carrie’s embracing her independence, but on the other hand, it feels a bit melancholic. Unpopular opinion: I didn’t need her to end up with a guy, but I definitely wanted a more uplifting resolution. Who else feels this way? 🤔
In the end, if you need me, I’ll be rewatching the original series to fill the void left by this finale. Let’s keep the conversation going! What did you think of the finale? Did it leave you feeling satisfied or just confused? Hit me up with your thoughts! 💬✨
