if i’m completely honest, i forgave Helen last episode when Beverly told her about herself because for the first time since this mess started she actually LISTENED instead of just flying off the handle with assumptions. i expected some sort of resolution for Carol and Helen but I was NOT expecting this. i’m pretty thrilled, i’m very happy they got this end and this scene was soooo long and chock full of greatness.
I did super appreciate that, just having that conversation at all, and then realizing she might have been the one wrong, finally, but she hadn’t made any amends at that point! So part of me was definitely like hmmm, they brought this up right before the finale for a reason, but another part of me was like, maybe that’s just to give Carol closure.
I wassss hoping and inclined to think that it’d be a happily ever after reunion, since I’d read that the series finale was going to actually be pretty nice and have everyone in a good place and be a reward for viewers (which! would be kind of nice if other shows did that too, huh, actually thought about making their viewers happy) and they’d put Carol in the perfect place for it, with how they dealt with Merc, but I didn’t want to get my hopes up or jinx anything. It really was pretty perfect, about as good as could be expected for them. I’m still so glad that Carol got to say all that, and that she’s the one who’s more in the driver’s seat now. She’s always been such a people pleaser and too much about the other person. And hey! Helen’s not even her boss now. 😀
And omg, yeah, it’s a long ass scene. I was actually so happy on Sunday night and ready to post gifs but I had to type all that conversation out and then try to decide how to break it up (I still have two more planned) and then I went back and watched the good parts of season 4. They were so cute. And then they got so ruined. :< I guess it was how quickly it went from being lovely to awful that made me wary about how they were gonna handle it in the final ep.

Foreigner Yells at Person Cutting in Line In Three Chinese Dialects
The only thing missing was a mic drop

Queue cutting is rampant in China, and offenders are not often called to task for it. When a foreigner falls victim to it, though, there is often a language barrier preventing a response. This wasn’t an issue for one foreigner who called out a perpetrator in not one, but three Chinese dialects.
The man repeatedly tells the woman that cut in front of him, in flawless Mandarin, “Hello? Hello? Can you please line-up in the queue behind?” The woman pretends not to understand him, and ignorantly says in a Wuhan dialect, “What is this ‘zebra’ talking about? I don’t understand a word you are saying.”
The man responds in the Wuhan dialect, “Don’t cut in line. Do you understand me now?”
The woman tries to gain the upper hand by responding in a Dongbei dialect. “What do you want? When did you see me cut in line?” and used a common Chinese insult meaning “You must be sick.”
Without breaking a sweat, the man answers in the Dongbei dialect, “Go stand in line, otherwise everyone here will criticize you. What do you mean ‘What do you want?’ Your cutting in line should have a rational reason.”
The woman, clearly (and rightly) giving up, said “Are you sick? I’m not eating, not eating!” as she walked away from the line.
We applaud this unnamed man for not only calling out someone for jumping the queue, but also for calling out her ignorant comments with dignity. Good on you, sir!
