When you’re studying this text, I’m assuming you’ve completed Inform Me Lies and, like me, are equally as enraged. 

As I predicted, the season ends in a catastrophic method. A lot so, I discovered myself screaming at my tv. 

It’s how most males really feel on Sundays as they watch their soccer workforce lose. Besides, in Inform Me Lies, you don’t root for anybody specifically. In actual fact, most of them should be imprisoned for all times. 

And probably the most infuriating factor? We’ve to attend two years for the following season. I’m on the level in my life the place the clock is imminently ticking. In two years, I’ll be pushing 29. I don’t have the time to waste ready for this present to resolve my nervousness. 

After the finale, I stored getting the identical textual content: “Does anybody watch Inform Me Lies?” I knew the outrage was equal to mine. So let’s discuss it. 

Unpacking The Inform Me Lies Season 2 Finale 

At this level within the season, there are a variety of questions left unanswered. A couple of being: 

  • Will Bree discover out that Evan and Lucy are sleeping collectively? 
  • Will Bree’s relationship with Oliver come crashing down? (Trace: sure)
  • How do Diana and Pippa find yourself collectively? 
  • What are Stephen and Lydia doing collectively? 
  • Is Lucy okay? (Trace: no) 

My roommate didn’t watch Season 1, so I spent the whole present giving her a Spark Notes abstract. One of many key factors I’ve emphasised is that Stephen will get off on manipulating different individuals. 

As we all know, the present has been flowing forwards and backwards between “current day” and their school years. Current day reveals Evan and Bree getting married – with everybody in attendance. 

However, again of their school years, Bree and Evan are not collectively. Bree is definitely going for the outdated “sleep together with your professor” cliche. Oliver, the recent professor who completely isn’t going to go away his spouse for Bree, tells her he loves her. (As a result of. In fact.) 

And delusional Bree believes him. We watch this trainwreck lastly spiral out as Oliver’s spouse strolling in on Bree of their bed room…nonetheless, as many have already guessed, the spouse knew in regards to the affair all alongside.

Really, Oliver reveals that they’ve one thing of an open marriage. Bree promptly says that is “the meanest factor anybody’s ever accomplished to her.” To which, Oliver kindly reminds her that she’s been by rather a lot worse. 

Sadly, that is the least surprising a part of the finale. When you recall, Evan even factors out that Bree is the proper sort of weak to be preyed upon by professors in open marriages who actively groom you. 

However what totally shocks me is when Lucy turns her closing paper in to Oliver’s spouse, who says she’s glad that Oliver didn’t meet Lucy first. This is sensible contemplating Lucy was invited to the social gathering the place the affair started – not Bree. 

Issues take a flip for absolutely the worse one way or the other. Lucy, in some kind of demonic craze, sleeps with each Leo and Stephen back-to-back. Then, Stephen baits Lucy’s boyfriend – Leo – into beating the residing daylights out of him. 

We additionally watch Stephen break up with Diana. Diana had simply informed Stephen that she failed the regulation examination…so Stephen smells weak point and simply has to go away her. And my jaw hits the bottom. 

In the meantime, Wrigley and his brother – Drew – have a enjoyable evening out on the bars. Wrigley’s been mega-depressed these days as a result of he can’t get the lady he desires or…a job. 

To make issues worse, Wrigley provides his brother tablets whereas they’re out in town. That’s when my roommate and I flip to one another and shout, “this may’t be good.” 

Sadly, we’re proper to be fearful. Wrigley wakes up along with his brother mendacity  subsequent to him…useless. 

And I’m not kidding once I say this: Wrigley is the solely particular person on this godforsaken present who deserves some kind of glad ending. He hasn’t dedicated any heinous crimes, he’s simply not the brightest bulb within the chandelier. 

And you could be questioning: how does this get any worse? Effectively. When Stephen’s concerned, something’s doable. 

The group rallies round Wrigley. Lucy then freaks out as a result of she believes Drew’s demise is her fault. When you recall, the group let Drew take the autumn and get kicked out of college for her roommate’s demise. 

So, Stephen decides to inform Wrigley that he was the one who wrote the observe to the Dean about his brother. Wrigley forgives Stephen, and at this level I’ve merely given up on humanity. 

One way or the other, this turns Lucy on?!? She’s all starry-eyed for Stephen, applauding him for taking the blame for her. After which, after all, they get again collectively. 

Nevertheless, like Rashomon we see the breakup from Diana’s POV…the place she deliberate the whole factor herself to flee Stephen. She’d truly handed her regulation examination, and he or she’s going to Yale. That is the one time I’ve felt pleased with somebody on this obnoxious present. 

However we solely know peace for a short while. Lastly, Evan decides to come back clear to Stephen about sleeping with Lucy. As I discussed earlier, Stephen’s actual love is being a manipulator. 

So clearly Stephen’s recording Evan saying all this. He says it’s effective, however we all know it’s actually not. 

Eight years later – on the marriage ceremony – Stephen sends the voice recording to Bree proper earlier than she’s due down the aisle. Might I add that he sends it in type of voice memo, which doesn’t exist at this cut-off date, and isn’t the tactic he used to file it. 

And that, my pals, is the way it ends. Leaving us at a cliffhanger for years to come back. Right here’s the factor: I hope none of them discover happiness. However right here’s the opposite factor: I nonetheless have questions.

Burning Questions Nonetheless Wanted To Be Answered By Inform Me Lies 

I hate that I’m this pissed off and invested in a present like this. It’s the antithesis of what provides me pleasure in my life. It’s virtually like I’m torturing myself – on goal.
