I hated the ending initially, but after sitting on it for a day, I've reconsidered.
Haley, sobbing uncontrollably, divorce impending, dancing hysterically as tears roll down her ragged face. HALEY GANG HALEY GANG.
The entire cast and staff, staring silently. No giant check. No hugs. No congratulations. Not a single smile. Xavier laying lifeless on the floor. Sam: "alright, let's wrap this quick."
Just a complete unlikeable psycho screaming to herself that SHE WON SHE WON, unaware that her entire reality is mere hours from collapsing.
Haley has never had an original thought. Anything interesting thing she did was at the specific and direct request of a freeloader. She completely destroyed her life for NOTHING. The 2k isn't even real. She "won" a life of sad loneliness. Her husband's tags on her FB have gone from links to just text, indicating he blocked her. She threw away everything in her pitiful life just to be a scintilla closer Sam & Co. Now she's unemployable, production loathes her, her marriage is in shambles.
BITCHES STAY MAD
BITCHES STAY PRESSED
Indeed, Hagley. Indeed.
