Ugh, Cassie kills me in the finale. I have a near death trauma related to something similar and will have like phantom pain and my chest tightens. My service dog alerted several times.
I love Fez. He reminds me of a couple of people I knew growing up in Narcoland.
I do feel for Nate. I was an angry teen. I'm still an angry daughter when it comes to my dad.

"My Body is a Cage" sequence with Cassie at the clinic, ice skating in her mind to escape ... you can feel all of it.

The artistry is one of the things I love most about this show & this season finale is a perfect example. And the music. Unforgettable.
I feel like Jules making Rue up for prom made Rue look like the girl Jules liked in New York. Jules is not cruel in any way, but I think she is on her own journey. Rue is nowhere near stable enough to navigate a relationship with anyone. Jules needs her to be something she isn't and may never be.
Lexi is such an underused character, and I love her so much. Being the steady, responsible older sister to Cassie is an interesting contrast along with the fact that she and Rue used to be best friends. Both girls lost their fathers tragically.
The scenes from Rue's house, especially seeing the impact of Rue's addiction on Gia kills me. Storm Reid who plays Gia is a BRILLIANT actress.
Poor Cassie. That whole segment was heartbreaking and hard to shake. Cassie is already so vulnerable and on the edge. My heart breaks for her.
Nate. That scene with his dad has never ever left my mind. The realness. The rawness. Nate is a horrific person, but that scene still makes me hurt for him. I also felt like the announcer for the game was written in such a way that we were seeing into Nate's head. Perfect passes that the WR miss. Maybe they weren't perfect passes. The mention of his trouble wouldn't happen over a PA at a HS game. It was all very pigeon-holed on his psyche. Like the events happened, of course, but it felt like a way to peek inside his head during the game.
Damn, I love Fez. ❤️ I'm also happy that Kat was honest with (forget his name) and they can maybe have a more typical relationship than the attention she's been seeking in an unhealthy way. Also, my read is Maddie watched the CD, but maybe she was making a copy. She may have done both. She looked pretty shocked, which made me think she had just watched it for the first time.
The whole segment of Rue in the hospital and saying she loves them bc she's taken care of ... it makes me think about the family taking care of her dad as he died. We dont know how long he was home in bed. Rue did a lot of the care as the oldest child and mom needing to work. There's definitely parallels and causation in those two stories.
