An already tumultuous, inconsistent season is going to have to navigate breaking up its core friendship forever.
Or perhaps, more truthfully, Judys life?
While she buys ice cream by the shore, Jen is cryingagain.
Shes with Glenn Moranis, finally telling him her biggest secret.
Did she reveal that she killed Steve?
Only about an hour left in this show, and the lies are still piling up.
Jen also reveals that shes pregnant, but shes claiming to the FBI that its Steves baby.
To Jens dismay, the agent says the infidelity could be one explanation for her DNA on Steves body.
Jen was kind of hoping it would be the perceivedonlyexplanation.
And then the biggest shoe drops: Judy tells Jen that shes terminal.
The chemo didnt shrink her tumors at all.
On the other hand, Judy is fine with it.
Shes already reached the acceptance phase.
Shes ready to live the last weeks of her life.
She wants to swim and laugh and hug.
Jen doesnt accept it, even though stress isnt good for the cancer or the baby.
Wait, what baby?
Sometimes the right thing doesnt feel right, but it doesnt make it wrong, says Perez.
Perez drops the baby news on Nick, revealing through it that shes friends with Jen.
Nick pushes her on the conflict of interest there, insisting that Perez has to tell Moranis everything.
Jen discovers that the trial she wanted to get Judy into is already full.
After raging at a medical representative, she gets a call from Ben.
He wont be behind bars, and hes changed his tune on wanting to leave town.
Why such an about-face?
Its a bit inconsistent but, again, time is short.
And our dear sweet Ben Wood is in love.
She also mentions that shes pregnant and that she killed Steve, but its into the void.
Eleanor Hale is back!
Shes out of prison and wants to bunk with Judy for a while, but her daughter declines.
Is Judy going to tell her shes dying?
She gives Mom an envelope of cash and says shes going to Sonoma for a few months.
Mom has no idea that shell never see her again.
With Henry in the passenger seat, Jen is unleashing some road rage to manage her stress.
Henry is excited about a new baby in the house.
Now there could be six of them!
Three kids, Jen, Ben, and Judy.
Well, thats almost right, poor Henry.
Ben is in prison and Judy is dying, buddy.
Jen might be the only adult in the house for a while.
Back at the house, Judy opens a safe and loads something into a suitcase.
Shes heading out, but first she gets the episodes best scene, with Charlie.
Judy defends her BFF Charlies mom is tough, solid, and there for you no matter what.
And shes good at forgiving people when they fuck up.
Charlie helps Judy on her feet and gets a real nice hug.
Unlike her mom, Charlie says I love you back when she says it first.
She used to be cuddle buddies with the head of oncology and let him do some weird stuff.
So will Judy be saved?
Before its revealed a few scenes later, this feels like kind of a misdirect.
It turns out that Eleanor didnt go away so easily.
Where did you go?
She went to Nick!
She confesses to killing Steve and reveals that the suitcase is full of wooden birds.
When Jen hears about it, shesmad.
Judy got into the trial, but she refuses to go.
There is always a way out, says Jen.
Maybe not this time.
They just need a little bit of time.
The episode ends with a series of shockers to set up the finale.
Will the scone on the nightstand lead back to Jen?
Then, Judy and Jen are driving, but theyre not going to San Francisco for the trial.
Theyre headed for the border.
Its the longestDead to Meyet, which makes sense.
Shows often stretch their legs as theyre reaching the finish line.
And the finale is even longer!
Whats still outstanding for the finale?
This episode likely pushed a lot of plots to their final chapter.
If the Greeks killed Moranis, the FBI will likely presume they killed Steve too.
Judy is probably going to die now too.
