![]() ![]() Once the police arrive, we see a number of different visions of our characters in the future (?). What happened to each of our Nine Perfect Strangers? And, finally, Masha manages to connect to her own late daughter-just as the police arrive with Delilah and take her away. Thank you, Nine Perfect Strangers overlords, for not doing that.Įventually, the Marconis connect to Zach one last time, and each do have a meaninful interaction that helps them get closure and move on. There's a moment where the alarm of his phone-which he put to sleep the morning his son died-goes off, and you really, really feel his pain.Īnd I also cannot lie-I was worried Napoleon was going to bite it a couple times during this final episode, which would have been really crushing. And you just know he's got this pain inside of him, and in this episode we finally see it come to the forefront-and Shannon predictably crushes it. ![]() There's something that's just really particularly crushing about a guy like him who really, really, means well, and tries to put on a positive face at any and every turn. Joking aside, Michael Shannon is absolutely amazing in his role and I suspect I'm not alone in saying that Napoleon broke my heart throughout the series, but specifically in this final episode. Oh well, the Marconis are mad for about five seconds and then decide they don't mind and are OK with tripping balls to try to connect with Zach. And Masha's main goal here is to use them as a test group to see if it works, so she can connect to her late daughter. Meanwhile, though, Masha is about to start tripping hard with the Marconis, but Lars felt the need to tell them the truth first: Masha has only tried this kind of thing once before, and the guy died. It's a fake simulation meant to help them become more vulnerable and grow closer. They then hear Carmel screaming from the padded room, where they bring Masha and Yao, and then.are locked in the room with Carmel, by Masha and Yao.Īnd then, eventually, we're led to believe that Masha was ordering something to be set on fire? Maybe the whole room? Smoke comes through the vents and we hear crackling. ![]() Until all four discover that their cars are missing (and we never really get an answer on where the cars are). Theye're ready to leave together and run into Ben and Jessica, who also want to leave together. Tony and Frances finally got over their drama and decided they wanted to be together-and that meant busting out of this popsicle stand and heading to the nearby Four Seasons. This skipped a bit, though, and eventually Carmel was in a sensory tank and locked in a padded room. Carmel and Masha had a confrontation that somehow ended with Masha forgiving her for shooting her, saying that her entire life at that point was her fault. ![]() That brings us to the events that did happen in Episode 8. Oh, and Delilah busted out of Tranquillum House and was headed straight for the nearest police station,Īnyway. On the other end, though, we got more of the same from Tony and Frances (who clearly want to be together and have good chemistry together but just keep putting it off for no good reason, really), and Ben and Jessica (who really don't have much to do at this point other than.walk around holding hands and being happy?). Lars, in all his investigation, had come to understand Masha's plot and would be fully observing. We also saw Masha take a heavy dose of hallucinogens with the Marconis, in an attempt to help them see their late son/brother, Zach, one last time. Example: obviously the revelation that Carmel was the one who shot Masha (revealed by her glossy/foggy eye) is a major one, and the fact that she had been coming entirely unhinged isn't great either. Some stories were really ramping up, while others were certainly spinning their wheels in a place where they had kind of been for a few episodes. Where Nine Perfect Strangers left off at the end of Episode 7 was a doozy. So we're going to briefly recap what happened, and then look more granularly at what ended up happening with each of our characters, specifically, at the show's very end. And as the show entered its finale, it faced the daunting task of wrapping this all up- Nine Perfect Strangers was only ever planned as a one-season limited series. Lots of drugs and tripping, yes, but also the start of relationships that could last a long time, and the evolution of existing relationships that could make or break them in a big way. What should have, in theory for our characters, been a week+ retreat of calming serenity had instead evolved into something much more. The following story contains spoilers for Nine Perfect Strangers, Episode 8.Īfter seven episodes-and a pretty massive cliffhanger-those loyally tuning in to watch Hulu's Nine Perfect Strangers had to be eager to see how this would all wrap up. ![]()
