Oh for sure.

I will say... for whatever it's worth... regarding the finale...

Spoiler: show

I outright wept during epsidoes 7, 8, & 9. I got emotional and had a barrage of feelings, but I did not cry during the finale. So maybe he'll be okay?

Spoiler: show

I feel like the emotional hammer blows of 6-7 were smoothed out in 10. The biggest wow moments—Pete (fucking Pete!) spilling the beans about the baby and Claire overhearing Carm’s rant—were blows, but they didn’t pack the same emotional weight. I was thinking specifically about the messages on Marcus’s phone, since trag seems to be connecting deeply with Marcus.

oh fuck right??!! Those texts were BRUTAL. Jesus! Good call. I'd somehow forgotten those in the chaos of everything else. That was ROUGH...

I don't know if there's ever been a more insecure dude on RM. Take a deep breath, champ.

I would, but I'd likely well up.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Like you guys, the heavy feels came in eps 6-9; the finale made tons of sense from a plotting standpoint, but Pete’s scene with Donna was definitely the one that got me most.

What’s hit me so hard this season is the memories they’ve triggered around finally feeling like I had something to offer the world by being part of a kitchen team: Richie’s newfound self-respect, Tina’s desire to realize her potential, Marcus’s discovery that he’s talented at something, and their collective abilityto set conflict aside to get the job done.

I felt like like a loser most my life until I joined a really talented restaurant; still do a lot of days. This show says stuff about class, self-worth, teamwork, upward mobility, and the power of serviceable acts in such a way that feels like it was tailor made for my soul.

I feel like something bad is going to happen to Claire.
