Fleabag finale episode SPOILERS thread

[HotPriest]

Crack open a can of and join your fellow iPlayer stalkers here for discussion of the final episode of Fleabag. Spoilers totally allowed so no peaking if you haven't see the episode.

Hoping it's as good as we all want it to be. Should be live on iPlayer tomorrow about 9.30am

I am happy to be corrected on this but I think no-one has called it completely accurately with a prediction on the outcome - and certainly not the way in which the ends would be achieved.

I think the really predictable thing that we (and the Godmother) were all half-expecting was some kind of huge, chaotic scene, comparable to FB smashing the glasses of champagne at the sexhibition in S1E6. Instead, everything was resolved fairly quietly. Even Martin's big monologue was contained (and I honestly wondered if he might flip out and hurt someone). Instead, making Fleabag the one to deliver her father to the altar and therefore the one who rescues the wedding showed us how far she has come, and that she really will be OK.

Sorry - I meant called it on the non-spoiler thread.

Thank you connieston. I think I need to increase the brightness on my tablet!

Martin's little speech was amazing. He's such an arsehole but his pain was so raw - so well acted and written.

Evil Step Mother's assorted identity guests (does anyone know what the deaf guy said?) had me laugh-cringing (craghing? Langing? Linging?) so much.

Do you think FB realised HP was choosing God during his 'Love is Awful' talk?

Why couldn't he be with her?

Does anyone have a spare counselling session voucher going spare?

I did enjoy the fact that ESM asked FB if she had 'a show planned' and told her 'no more miscarriages' only for Claire to cause a scene..and FB remained quiet!

Oh god 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

wonderful

loved it. Bit sad that Clare actually got on her knees instead of just saying "I'm leaving you" but then I have a passionate hatred for Martin.

Excellent speech.

love the attic bit - he literally can't because his foot is stuck!

oh the bus stop writing - was it the same? I think someone said on Twitter last week that it translates as "hope"?

Just perfect,when she turns & waves at the end 😭

Gosh. That was a mistake to watch at work, I'm now crying over my keyboard.

What a beautifully written ending to a brilliant second series.

Fucking hell, I'm in bits! I didn't realise I was this invested!

when Clare tells Fleabag "The only person I'd run through an airport for is you". Wonderful.

The dad thing made me emotional. Dad and I loved each other but I wouldn't say we liked each other. It was okay, it wasn't a problem, but I think it probably took a while to realise that - in fact we may not have realised it till around his death. I admit it would be a bizarre conversation to have out loud!

Gulp. Perfect.

Also the Priest's face when Clare told them it was her miscarriage - like he was feeling all the feelings for her. hopefully this underlines that he is a good bloke.

That was perfect. I think series two is even better than the series one. So beautifully done. I can't stop weeping. I thought I wanted her to end up with the priest but this is so much better; she isn't completed by romantic love, she is going to be ok regardless and she doesn't need us any more.

Had to come on and share with other fellow fans. I have developed a rather unhealthy obsession with hp over this series and was in bits at the end. It was the right thing to do but still heart breaking!

Am I right in thinking that boo didn't make a single appearance in the finale. Another way of fb showing that she's going to be ok and start to deal with her grief. I thought that was a really clever touch.

The bus being cancelled : their love being derailed by god.

Oh god I can't take it 😭😭😭 though I do actually think it was perfect. It wouldn't have been right if they'd ended up together. So intense though!

Beautifully painful. I'm in a fucking state at work hiding my hurt little face. But they love each other and they will always have that.

She didn't make a scene this time or speak to us : even at the end. Just a nod.
Claire leaving her hair piece behind ; klare will love her however she looks.
' I would run though an airport for you' : so much love there!

The priest's sermon being for her. How love can de destructive as well as great.
So many things to take from this ending.
Just sad that dad didn't wise up about step mum but maybe he needs her around more than we think he should!

Ahh Rosemary me too. I feel like I've been dumped! I know it's a vocation and all but how could you deny yourself love?

She was newly self-conscious of us too. We’ve seen her being shagged sideways but in this ep she tugged her skirt down to cover her knickers as she climbed into the attic.

I think she will be ok about it. He might suffer a bit , but she is stronger than she looks.

Funny that although we never saw the mother she's actually been there all along in both series - the statue!

Very clever about the statue as it caused fo much heartache in series one when she first stole it.
The step mum was always about in their marriage : just waiting to pounce!
I hope Claire will be happy too.
