Younger
Younger – Irish Goodbye (4×12)
Before I jump into my review, I’ll preface that I did NOT hate the season finale of Younger as much as others did. Maybe it’s because I’m neither #TeamCharles or #TeamJosh…. I’m #TeamConfused and so I thoroughly enjoyed the excitement of “who will it be.” I felt that in order for Liza to truly be done with one of them in the romantic sense, she had to gain some closure, which is what her trip to Ireland was all about. Sure, she may not have gotten her happy ending but to me, there’s no such thing – the fun is in the journey and this was one heck of an adventure. And it guarantees a few more seasons! At this point, I don’t think Liza is even ready for a happy ending yet.
SPOILERS – STOP READING IF YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED!
The season 4 finale of Younger took us on a trip to Ireland for a supersized finale that included Irish dancing, lots of lying, and a green-card wedding. All in that eventful order.
After receiving a midnight call from Josh, Liza flew halfway around the world to be the “best man” at her ex-boyfriends wedding. A wedding not out of love but out of the need for a green-card. Josh was happy to oblige because he wanted to keep Claire in NYC to “see what this could become.” Can you imagine what would happen if I married every person I ever dated just out of curiosity?
Upon arrival, Liza and Maggie were surprised to find wedding preparations in FULL swing. Claire’s mother, a newfound lesbian thanks to Maggie, is so enthralled in the wedding planning process, they simply let her believe that it was happening for legit reasons. Plus, what mother wants to know that her daughter’s big day is only for papers?
A quick trip to the city with Claire alerts Liza that she’s not just here for moral support – Josh brought her to Ireland to bolster the validity of the marriage and the worst part is he doesn’t even have the balls to ask Liza to lie for him himself. “You kind of owe him this,” Claire utters revealing that Josh wasn’t too tight-lipped on Liza’s little white lie.
When Liza finally confronts Josh, he’s already drunk and throws a hissy fit exclaiming that Liza had no problem lying for herself but wouldn’t lie for him. Low blow. At this point, Liza’s compromised because she’s not the most honest person in the world but at the same time, she knows how dangerous one small lie is and how it can take on this whole new life. I lost a lot of respect for Josh in the finale as his immaturity really began to show. He was trying so hard to force this “thing” with Claire, a girl who couldn’t even say she was in love with him when Liza asked, only because he was trying to mask his feelings for Liza and mend his broken heart. When he told her “if you don’t want to be here then just go home,” I seriously prayed she would pack up her bags and leave and stop enabling him but I get it, she cares for Josh and feels protective over him. I think a part of her also wanted to prove that they could just be friends and that means supporting him even when she doesn’t agree with his methods.
So she stuck around for the Irish pre-wedding party where she danced up a storm with Claire and came to her defense when her alleged “best friend” tried to exploit the relationship for what it is, a fake marriage. “When someone you love that much proposes, you say yes. Believe me, you say yes,” Liza says, validating their relationship in front of Claire’s friends and family.
That statement, however, proves that she’s still very much in love with Josh, which is something Maggie kept foreshadowing when she kept taunting her with the “friend” word, knowing damn well Liza wanted nothing more than to stop this wedding. It’s when the heartbreaking reality set in that she loved someone she had absolutely no future with. She’s attracted to him but cares for him enough that she wants what’s best, which is why she broke it off in the first place. She’s fully aware that age gap is significant and wants him to live his best life, to have the chance at children and despite him saying that the only future he wants is one with her, she has a better grasp and can see clearer down the line. Someone can say one thing now but later on change their mind and resent you for stealing their golden years. This is why the choice between Team Josh and Team Charles is so hard. Because under the right circumstances, Josh is and could be the right choice.
And not only is it already complicated between Liza and Josh, now he’s getting married and he drunkenly stumbles into her room and Lucas Scott’s her. I kid you not, Josh pulled a Lucas Scott from One Tree Hill and professed his love to Liza the same way Lucas did to Peyton.
“It’s you Liza, it’s always been you.”
Can you believe Josh just One Tree Hill’ed us? Okay, maybe it wasn’t word for word the same but literally, I had Deja Vu followed by the same goosebumps I had back in 2006 when I first watched that scene. I may need a moment.
Then to add an additional layer of complicated, Josh SLEPT, just slept, with Liza the night before and then the next day, was outside mingling with the guests, going forward with the wedding at a full speed. Understandably, Liza was confused. But seriously, not more confused than Josh who basically told her that in order to free himself from her spell, he needed to put a ring between them.
This is the equivalent of saying that you hope your cheating husband changes after you get married. Marriage isn’t some magical solution that fixes all your problems and makes feelings go away. In fact, things are only going to get messier with Josh being married because deep down inside, whether he wants to soberly admit it or not, Liza is the one. Not Claire. And no ring, no binding ceremony, no document will change that.

He’s also lying to Claire, which is a new low for Josh because as Maggie pointed out, he hates liars. He married her knowing that he was withholding the truth from her and the whole beginning of their relationship, like his relationship with Liza, is now based on lies. And maybe he just assumes she doesn’t care because the marriage is for papers but it’s still a valid marriage. Imagine how she’s going to feel if she ever finds out what he was up to just mere hours before they tied the knot. I know, I’m getting way too deep into this but I mentioned that Josh’s immaturity was showing and this was the cherry on top. Also, who else is SHOCKED that Josh actually went through with the marriage? I guess we were all so certain that he would back out that actually having him get married was the storyline to throw us off.
At this point, Liza’s getting hit from every angle. When she left for Ireland, she informed Diana about her trip but failed to let Charles, you know the man she just admitted to loving, know that she was leaving town. Why? How hard would it have been to pop in and say “hey, I’m going to Ireland cause Josh is getting married.” Do you know how many problems we could have avoided?
Instead, Charles found out she was “chasing Josh around Ireland” from Diana, who was sitting on her independent high horse after kicking Richard to the curb. With that in mind, every decision Charles made from that point on in regards to Pauline was based on the fact that Liza had been pushing him away and allowing him to reconcile with his ex and now she was off in another country with hers.
Zane tried to one-up Kelsey in the meeting by offering up a segment on Good Morning America for “Marriage Vacation” and while everyone was on board, Charles was adamant that he was not going to go on live television to support his wife. Of course, during the interview, the producer threatened to pull the segment unless she got something juicy so Zane caved and gave the OK for them to bring Charles on set in front of a live audience. And how do you say no on live TV without looking like a jerk?
That was honestly the last straw for Zane. I truly wanted to love him but he’s just the type of person to throw everyone under the bus to save his own face. It’s despicable and shows the true nature of his character – we were all so intrigued by his bad boy antics but really, he was just bad. I’ll miss the eye candy but I wouldn’t mind if he got as far away from Kelsey as possible.
Pauline is so desperate to make everyone believe that they are back together, it’s almost delusional. How does a middle-aged woman who left her whole family to “find herself” just assume they’re all going to take her back? And even more frustrating is that Charles willing plays along with her narrative of getting back together in order to get better ratings to sell the book. Oh, how money talks. Her story is rich however because it’s relatable to Liza and that’s why they’ve bonded so well. Pauline essentially mirrors Liza, who also felt trapped in her marriage and wanted to break free to find her career. They’ve both done these drastic things in hopes of making something of themselves, which is why Liza has willingly stepped aside, despite her strong feelings for Charles. She won’t be the woman to stand in the way of another woman’s happiness, even if it costs her her own.
Now the good thing is that after all of this, Charles is still very much focused on Liza. That frustrating yet predictable cliffhanger – we all saw it coming when Claire’s friend said it was a no-cellphone ceremony – leaves us wondering what Charles was going to say. At the end of the day though, it’s good he still wants to talk to Liza and pursue whatever chemistry there is between them. He’s hoping she’ll understand he went along with the “we’re back together” narrative to sell the book and if she does, maybe there’s hope he’ll understand why she had to lie about her age when she finally tells him. There are SO MANY LIARS on this show. And it’s all a domino effect from Liza.
So I get why fans are so angry. The whole season has kind of been a “will they or won’t they” between Liza and Charles and it ended with Liza struggling with her feelings for Josh. But it was necessary to make room for Charles. After her breakup with Josh, instead of understanding her feelings and getting over them, she ignored them, pushed them aside because it was the right thing to do. This Irish goodbye doesn’t open the chapter for them, it closes the romantic book. He’s off the market but not out of her life completely because she still has to be heavily involved to vouch for his marriage, which adds a new layer of complexity for next season.
Come season 5 though, it’s your time #TeamCharles fans. The cliffhanger guarantees (and the producers already acknowledged) that the focus will be primarily on Liza and Charles. They are way overdue at this point and they have to at least give it a chance – a real chance, not just a quick make out sesh before the janitor waltzes in.
Thoughts on the Younger season finale? I know you probably had just as many as I did but come on, there are so many rich layers to peel back here. They always say, to hide one small lie, a thousand lies are needed and this finale showed that beyond a doubt!
Do you believe Josh is Liza’s soulmate and having her with Charles goes against the show’s theme of breaking age cliches? Or do you think he’s just the one who woke her up and she’s really meant to be with a grounded man like Charles? To me, the Liza who came to Brooklyn is a free-spirited woman who doesn’t want her old life back. So while both dudes have their assets, they also have their flaws. Maybe Liza just needs to pick Liza and focus on the career, which is why she really lied in the first place.
2021 was a strange year in TV. The production of so many shows was sidetracked by the pandemic, but we still somehow made it to the finale. So with the end of the year coming up in a couple of weeks, it seems only fitting to give a proper send-off to 9 TV shows that we’re sad to leave behind in 2021. Some ended too early, while others ended at the perfect time, but all will be greatly missed.
1. Younger (Paramount+)
This past summer we said a tearful goodbye to the cast of Younger. Originally, its producer, Darren Star had unofficially ideated Season 7 as its final season, and then it came true. Thankfully, it’s available to stream, so you can repeatedly enjoy this show in its full glory. Younger is about Liza Miller, a 40-year-old woman who resorts to lying about her age in order to return to the workforce after raising her daughter. It’s an entertaining rom-com that highlights ageism and sexism in the workplace, while also beautifully capturing the importance of friendship.
2. Insecure (HBO Max)
Insecure is a dramedy that focuses on the Black narrative, particularly Black women and the unrealistic expectation of confidence. Issa Dee’s just trying to survive and thrive in her personal and professional life. However, in order to get there, she must learn to overcome her insecurities and flaws. With the help of her best friend Molly, the two take on life in Los Angeles together all while overcoming a period of liminality.
3. Dickinson (Apple TV+)
A fantastic comedy that puts a modern twist on the mid-1800s, Dickinson, is not what you’d expect. Hailee Steinfeld leads the series as the outspoken feminist Emily Dickinson, as she strives to become the infamous poet we know and praise today. You don’t have to be an English major to enjoy this one. As long as you love a good romance, fight against the patriarchy, and maybe a little Wiz Kalifa, you’re sure to find this 3 season show, delightful.
4. Feel Good (Netflix)
Mae Martin’s original comedy, Feel Good on Netflix is a much-needed LGBTQ+ representative show. The show is a short two seasons but they sure pack quite the punch. It centers on Mae, a standup comedian who swaps her drug addiction for love. During her time in England, Mae meets and falls in love with George, a baby queer. The show dissects the qualms of their relationship, all of course, with a healthy dose of humor.
5. Shrill (Hulu)
A young journalist struggles to jumpstart her career until she begins to write about her greatest insecurity–weight. Shrill shares the life of Annie Eaton as she learns to find confidence in being unapologetically herself. Navigating the world of romance and privilege, she runs into problems and makes countless mistakes. Its three-season run feels short, but once you make it to the end, you’ll feel appreciative of the journey.
6. Kim’s Convenience (Netflix)
Kim’s Convenience is a Canadian show about a Korean-Canadian family and their acclimation to both the Canadian culture and the evolving generation. An endearing comedy about the pressures and tension between the children of immigrants and their parents. Its five-season run was the perfect length, but we will surely miss this cast.
7. The Bold Type (Freeform)
The Bold Type is a show about three fearless friends who bond over their careers at Scarlet Magazine. It has hints of Sex and the City, but with a more diverse and feminist perspective. It’s a bit more drama than comedy and includes the typical search for love, self-identity, and everything in between. The show’s fluidity was affected by the pandemic but still managed to end on a sweet note in its fifth season.
8. Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist (NBC)
This NBC show was cut way too short, but thankfully Roku picked it up for a movie to tie up some loose ends. Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist centers on a unique premise. Following a CT scan, Zoey starts hearing people’s inner song-alogues. The power initially seems useless and annoying, but she later learns to use it for the better.
9. Atypical (Netflix)
Atypical is a sweet family comedy about Sam, a teenager who falls on the autism spectrum. The show follows his quest to find independence, love, and the meaning of life. And while his family plays a large role in his life, his newfound autonomy especially puts his mother on a new life journey–one without the constant supervision of her son. It’s a family affair, and you’ll be sure to invest in every character and the family dynamic by the end.
There is no such thing as the perfect ending.
Inevitably, someone is going to be disappointed. It’s hard to fulfill everyone’s expectations as it is, but that becomes especially true during an episodes that is meant to provide closure to a beloved series of six years.
I both loved and hated the Younger series finale. As Maggie said, love and hate tend to go hand-in-hand; they’re two sides of the same coin.
The finale was an authentic wrap-up for each character’s journey with each of them getting their own version of a happy ending. We celebrated how far everyone has come from the pilot episode.
No one was sidelined or forgotten about, even if it did take 35 minutes into the episode for Josh to get any screen time.
Can I just say, the series should have always embraced a 45-minute format! Look how much we were able to accomplish.
I’ll break up my finale review by character, but I’ll start with the most important question, the one we’ve all been dying to know for seven seasons…
Team Charles or Team Josh?
The truth is, neither. The finale ended with Josh telling Liza “I’ve been right here, by your side all along,” which implied that Team Josh won out in the end, but it was also an ambiguous ending that allowed audiences to interpret it in whatever way they saw fit. Josh and Liza could’ve remained friends, they could’ve become friends with benefits, or they could’ve given things another shot.
The line was meant to imply that Liza was ignoring what was right in front of her this whole time, but how could she ignore a man she barely even saw?
The moment may have made Team Josh hearts swoon, but I felt a little cheated. Josh was an afterthought this whole season. He barely had any storylines, and he barely interacted with Liza at all. He popped in and out of every episode for a total of a few minutes just to keep up appearances. And he’s the one she supposedly ends up with?
Why couldn’t we see them find their way back to each other. Why couldn’t we get more scenes between them?
Though, I will give it to the writers for making things come full-circle as Liza and Josh found each other at the bar once again in the same way they did in the pilot.

Charles Brooks
Liza’s love story with Charles was a special one, but sadly, it was always doomed. Their relationship, for the most part, was based on a lie. Secrets defied their relationship.
While there was plenty of love between them, there also wasn’t a lot of trust. They would never be able to get past the feeling that the other wasn’t being forthcoming and truthful. And that wasn’t fair to either of them.
However, if Charles and Liza were always going to go their separate ways, why did the show keep pushing them together this season?
It was such a tease to see them finally get back together after he broke up with Quinn only to have them ripped apart again. We saw Charles’s girls happy to see Liza back with her dad only for it to end again. It seemed like a colossal waste of time for both the characters even if it was realistic in the sense that there’s always that one person we keep going back to.
Most of the season felt rushed and as though the writers couldn’t actually decide what they wanted to do with this relationship.
Everything was shaping up for them to end up together and then bam, the rug was pulled out from under us.
If they were never endgame, it would’ve simply been better to keep them apart without the whole airport scene and give some of that screen time to Team Josh.
Though things didn’t pan out romantically between Liza and Charles, they were a necessary part of each other’s lives.
Liza reminded Charles why he got into publishing in the first place and pushed him to finish his novel, which was accepted into that YATO, a prestigious writer’s colony. He, in turn, named her Editor-in-Chief of Empirical, and I couldn’t think of anyone better for the job.
Liza started out as a woman lying about her age because she couldn’t get a job to running one of the most respected publishing house’s in New York.
And though they parted way amicably and will always remain friends, they also parted ways without actually growing much from the relationship — he remained insecure as ever and she continued to be painted as a liar.
Liza Miller
I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again — Liza’s story was always one of forging her own path as an independent and badass woman. It was about finding herself after giving up her career to raise a child, owning her womanhood, her work ethic, finding her voice, becoming confident, her love of books, so it’s fitting that it ended with Liza putting herself first and getting the dream job.
What more could a woman ask for?
Okay, fine, maybe Liza should’ve reserved the rights to her story and turned it into a book, but the least they could’ve done is invested in the musical put on by Redmond’s boyfriend. She was the sole inspiration of Scamalot… and it was brilliant!
Kelsey Peters
Kelsey’s story was set up for a potential spinoff, and it’s a spinoff that I’m hoping gets greenlit. Kelsey came up with a brilliant idea with Inkubator, but it wasn’t meant for Empirical. The company, and Charles, took a chance on her right out of college, but Kelsey’s time with Empirical had run its course. And she knew that. That’s why this time, she took a chance on herself and left even before she got the funding for her company.
Well, she did have some interest, but she shot those offers down immediately when she realized Rob was using her as a business transaction. Hey, Claire did try to warn her. Kelsey and Claire also made up, and I’m here for the female empowerment. They are both too good to be fighting over some worthless, misogynistic man.
Eventually, Kelsey’s persistence paid off because Hello Sunshine, Reese Witherspoon’s female-positive media company, invested in Inkubator, and Kels announced she was moving to Los Angeles (likely because Hilary Duff wants to be closer to her family in real life!). I wonder if this means that Hello Sunshine has picked up the Kelsey-focused spinoff? Wouldn’t that be the perfect TV-meets-real world situation?
The best part about Kelsey’s story arc is that she finally made it as an independent woman. She never needed a man, but she always relied on them (bad men, might I add) as a crutch. This was her moment and she’s owning it by herself and for herself! There’s a beauty in her maturity!
Josh
Six seasons and they couldn’t give Josh a last name?! As I mentioned, Josh didn’t get much screen time in the finale even though he was the “chosen” one, but we did find out that he bought the apartment building that housed Kelsey and Lauren’s place along with Inkburg.
I never knew Josh was that loaded, but I guess being a highly sought after tattoo artist likely pays well? I’m not sure. All I know is that Josh started off the series with roomies and ended up as a property owner, so good for him.
Maggie Amato
In the words of Rihanna, Maggie found love in a hopeless place. And while happiness looks good on Maggie, I’m slightly disappointed it was with the woman who was petty enough to ruin her career. Sure, she revived it as a make-good, but it just seems like Maggie could do better than Cass, who will always be a malicious woman with deep insecurities about herself.
Maggie, unlike Kels, has always been independent, and never needed to rely on anyone to help her career.
Lauren Heller
Lauren is the only person who can take something that would’ve normally been a roadblock for and turn it into a whole opportunity. She’s always been authentically herself, so pining after some heterosexual dude because her parents wanted her to settle down just wasn’t her speed. But when Max explained that she encouraged him to be himself and introduced her to his male fiancee, it all suddenly fell into place. Lauren propositioned the both of them, and well, you don’t have to ask yourself WWLD (What Would Lauren Do) because you already know!
In the end, the series has always been about the friendships you make along the way, and that’s exactly how it ended — with Liza, Maggie, Kelsey, Lauren, and Josh enjoying each other’s company while navigating this messy and unpredictable thing called life.
What did you think of the series finale? Are you happy with how it ended?
The penultimate episode is setting up Younger for a happy ending, but will all the drama this season be worth it?
I’ll start with the positives — though I knew exactly how the episode would end, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
There was such a thrill in seeing Liza come to terms with the fact that she had to let him go while also trying to see if there was anything left between them.
And there was! When she handed him back the passport, there was plenty of tension and so much left unsaid. Charles’s feelings for her were obvious by the way his eyes lit up when she appeared at the airport. That’s the one and only thing Pauline was right about.
However, the predictability was also what made me so upset with the episode.
Younger has never been a cliche or predictable series, so having Charles realize that he has feelings for Liza moments before boarding a plane with another woman felt like cheap storytelling.
Was it romantic? Sure. It always is. That’s why near-miss airport scenes have been the backdrop for so many rom-coms, but we don’t watch Younger for a re-enactment of the classic Ross and Rachel scene in the Friends finale. We know the formula, and there’s nothing exciting about it.

There is something to be said about the writing as it managed to do what I thought was impossible and bring the focus back to Liza and Charles, but again, that’s where the focus should’ve been this whole time.
Audiences didn’t want to see this mess with Quinn dragged on, we wanted the final season to explore Charles and Liza’s blossoming relationship.
Not to mention, their reunion makes the whole season unnecessary and pointless as it unravels everything that’s happened over the course of 11 episodes with one big and predictable gesture.
Why put them through all that drama if we were always going to end up back at square one?
For the last few seasons, I’ve been Team Charles and wanted nothing more than to see them end up together, but after everything he put Liza through this season, I’m just not feeling the romance.
And as I said in previous reviews, I would’ve preferred an ending where she chose herself.
Some fans have questioned why I’m so hard on Charles and not on Liza despite the fact that she slept with the first pretty boy she laid eyes on post-split, but there’s a difference between getting under someone else casually to move on and pursuing a brand new relationship with your exes sworn enemy and proceeding to flaunt it in her face.
Charles knew better and did it anyway because he could. Liza didn’t deserve any of it, and yet, she was ready to let him go and be happy because she loved him that much.
Now, that’s not to say that Liza hasn’t had her fair of indecisive moments in the past that led Charles to question whether she was truly in it for the long haul, but even so, he should’ve been open to a conversation and let her explain why she wasn’t interested in getting married again.
This time, Liza was his and only his, and he let his insecurities get in the way of a damn good thing.
The silver lining is that he realized how stupid he was before he made any actual commitments to Quinn.
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Charles shock when the real Quinn came out. As she barked orders at him and belittled him for forgetting his passport (who doesn’t double-check before a flight?!), he realized that this was absolutely not the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life or even the next hour with.
It’s further proof that this whole time, Quinn was putting on an act. She may have been in love with the idea of Charles, but she didn’t love Charles. And I’m convinced that a part of her also enjoyed flaunting the romance in Liza’s face.
And believe it or not, she is the villain in this story as it all boils down to Inkubator!
Buying Inkubator would allow Quinn to get revenge on both Charles and Liza. Not only would she be able to take it away from Empirical, and thus, Charles, but it would also make her Liza’s boss, which means she’d essentially own her.
The storyline would’ve been promising in any other season, but with one episode left, I don’t really want to see Liza and Kelsey’s company get bought up by someone who doesn’t have its best interest at heart, nor do I want their unique concept to be ripped off by publishing vultures.
Kelsey should’ve listened to her gut about sending the proposal to one of Rob’s VC’s.
He wanted to help her get the best price, but clearly the subject line “for your eyes only” means “forward this to everyone you know.”
I really hope that everything works out for them in the end because Liza and Kelsey deserve it.
They’ve worked too hard on the concept to get ripped off.
And let this be a lesson to Kelsey about keeping her ideas under wraps and only showing them to the people she absolutely trusts. Kelsey would’ve been better off researching a few investors herself and pitching them directly.
As for Rob, he doesn’t seem to be worth all the trouble.
As I said, he may have wanted to help, but in general, he’s just been causing chaos in her life both personally and professionally.
In addition to the whole Inkubator debacle that we know is coming in the series finale, Rob also caused a rift between Kelsey and Claire, which meant that she had to move out of Josh’s place.
I guess it was the little push Kelsey needed to get out on her own.
Except that she’s not actually on her own and can’t even afford to get her own place without Charles’s offer. For now, she’s relying on Rob’s kindness and living in his model apartment, which could make things super difficult and awkward if she decides to break up with him.
Then there’s Lauren’s love life, and well, it seems like she’s going to end up with her ex Max.
Now, all I want is for Lauren to find her soulmate and be happy, but I just can’t get down with her ending up with a regular dude like Max. I know opposites attract and he could be the one to level Lauren’s eccentric nature, but I don’t want Lauren’s spirit to ever be dimmed.
She needs someone just as wild and free-spirited as she is; she doesn’t need to settle down with a “nice boy” as her parents suggested.
And don’t let that steamy sex scene that ended up being just a dream fool you. Though, it was great!
I’ll admit a part of me is still rooting for Lauren and Maggie.
As we near the end, the series wanted to bring some familiar faces, but I’m willing to bet that Pauline was not the familiar face we all wanted to see. Diana, where you at, girl?
I know her appearances were limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic and prior commitments, but really… Pauline?
The whole storyline was so juvenile. She tried to make amends with Liza and thought she contributed to her breakup with Charles. Can someone please help Pauline realize that she’s not that important?
Pauline’s plan wasn’t effective in the way she hoped it would be, but it did help Charles see Quinn’s true colors, so I guess that counts for something.
There were moments where her meddling was slightly comical, but she came out of the blue and inserted herself for absolutely no reason and against Liza’s wishes.
And once again, my issue with Josh’s lack of screentime stands. Pauline got more screentime in the 25-minute episode than Josh did all season.
The only thing I did enjoy was how protective he was over Kelsey when he gave Rob a stern warning about “being a little more careful” with her heart than he was with Claire’s.
Josh has every right to call out Rob since he’s now involved with two of the women that he loves.
What did you think of the penultimate episode? Do you think Charles should be forgiven and taken back with open arms?
Will you be happy with Liza and Charles as endgame?
