![]() and Frances can say, with feeling, that she does, in fact, love her father. ![]() (Again, I will say, this is kind of a big thing to just drop in casually in the final two episodes, and I’m not sure what purpose it serves.) The next morning, they talk about what they want from each other, and they agree that they want some kind of commitment but not what they had before.īecause it is the finale and we need to close the loop with everybody, Frances sees her mom so her mom can tell her that her dad used to be a different kind of man - funny, kind, etc. Frances says she did it after Bobbi left but she won’t do it again. After they are gently snuggly, Bobbi sees the cut spot in Frances’s thigh. I also appreciate how messy their hair is. There is a lot more laughter in this tryst than we ever saw in sex scenes with Frances and Nick. They make intense eye contact and agree to be straightforward, and then they have sex. ![]() It’s a bit underwhelming, I must say.Īnyway, Bobbi arrives at the flat in a fabulous coat. Bobbi calls to affirm the quality of the email and agrees to come over later.īefore we get to Bobbi and Frances’s reunion, Frances sees her dad, who is in Dublin for ambiguous paperwork reasons, and we never really get any closure here about what exactly was going on with his finances and if he ever gave her the money he owed her and if she’s going to figure something else out on that front. What could go wrong?!? Anyway, Frances loves Bobbi and always has. Inspired by her call with Melissa, Frances writes Bobbi an excellent apology email which includes the line “I want to sleep with you again, if you’d ever want to do that,” which, in my opinion, is really escalating from “friends who aren’t honest with each other at all” to “back to being in a couple,” but whatever, let’s let these kids take big swings. Much like Nick, Frances is someone who probably perceives herself as being so beta next to her alpha partner (Melissa/Bobbi) that she thinks nothing she does could possibly ever hurt anyone ever, which conveniently gives her permission to do whatever she wants since nothing she does could actually matter to anyone. Well, it took until the finale, but Frances is finally saying, “I wish I had been more thoughtful.” Thank you, Frances. When Frances is stunned into apologizing and confessing that she has no clue what she’s doing, the return to “Are you okay, Frances?” absolutely wrecks me. And yet Frances is playing the victim when she is the instigator, and she cannot function when she is not “the center of fucking everything.” And then. ![]() And now that their relationship has been blown up, Melissa is officially the only person in Frances’s life who is willing to tell Frances her actions have consequences. Why did you fuck my husband?”) to matter-of-fact honesty (she just assumed Frances had shown Bobbi the story) to emotional exhaustion (her comment about Frances’s narcissism) to real vulnerability (admitting she maybe liked that Bobbi hadn’t known about the story) to full-on fuckin’ heartbreak (her voice rising when Frances tries to make the truly insane argument that having an affair with Melissa’s husband did not involve Melissa) is just incredible. The way Jemima Kirke’s Melissa goes from righteous, condescending indignation (“I don’t know, Frances. Meanwhile, Bobbi has not replied to a text Frances sent asking to talk. The literary magazine with her story in it arrives in the mail. She will not socialize with Philip she is committed to her loneliness and misery.
