Loveday Writing

The job of a season finale is to wrap up the season’s story arcs and provide new story arcs and subplots for the next season. I felt that this finale mostly did its job.

I feel this way because most of the season’s story arcs had already come to a close – Ainsley’s pregnancy story arc came to a tragic close in episode 6, and Harry’s open relationship story arc came to a close in the previous episode. The subplot of Heather and Ben’s relationship pops up from time to time but hasn’t been focused on a crucial way, and Liz rebuilding her life has already been addressed. However this finale would focus on Liz and would close the season with a crucial change for all of the housemates.
