A catharsis and joy-filled finale brings Sam and Joel back together!
? Maybe the anguish the show put us through in the last episode makes the joy we get in the finale more potent. It’s the gift we get for surviving Sam and Joel hitting a very large bump in the road of their friendship. Because “To Ed,” in all its catharsis and joy, is the perfect antidote to the heartbreak of seeing Sam almost succumb to her old habit of pushing people away any time they do anything she perceives as wronging her.
Even Tricia’s proud when, during the morning set-up for Fred and Susan’s big day, Sam tells her how she and Joel made up. First of all, I love that Sam even told Tricia — watching their relationship grow this season has been such a highlight. Now that Sam’s forgiven both Tricia and Joel, Tricia asks about Holly. Sam doesn’t have much to say, but when we see her back at home, putting Holly’s necklaces back on, we know that even if she’s not fully over it, she’s on her way.
There’s also Branigan. So! Much! Branigan! In the end, Sam breaks her “No Barbra, no Judy, no Branigan” rule as a gift to Fred and Susan and performs a rousing rendition of “Gloria” in a fringe top and all. Yes, in case you were wondering, she does do a little titty shimmy on Joel’s face. Yes, it is as glorious as it sounds. I have never been happier that these two made up.
• Wait, there’s more: “Here in this special place, where seeds have been planted, where hard work has been done, where there has been grief and joy and storms and music, we promise to hold you as you go forward.”
