The job of a season finale is to bring the season’s story arcs and subplots to a close and establish news ones for the next season (if there is a next one). I felt that this finale didn’t really do its job in that regard, however it was a solid episode. Ainsley and Simmo – As this episode focused on

This episode is all about the hen’s and buck’s nights. Harry – As Harry is narrating the episode, I’ll start with him.
