And Effy going to prison...well, I guess it's a believable end but not the one I wanted. I totally wanted her to **** Dom good and proper and them to run off to Spain or some place together. Alas, it wasn't meant to be.
Well written episodes though, I just didn't like the ending. |
The ending worked well imo
I think it's to show that Effy has been selfish throughout her life and it's caused nothing but pain. She didn't call Emily when Naomi was ill (on Naomi's orders) but you can see that Naomi had very little time left and Emily would've wanted to have been there through all of it. This is down to Effy's selfishness because she didn't want to cause inconveniencing drama.
She got sent to prison at the end because it shows that her selfishness has helped nobody, not even herself. Her smile in the car on the way to prison reflects her realisation that she has been selfish.
I think it worked well because it summed up Effy as a character. Yes, Naomi is almost dead (she wasn't necessarily killed off) but it helped portray the type of person Effy is. She wasn't there at all for Naomi because all she had was money in her eyes. Which is showed when she buys the penthouse apartment.
I really enjoyed Effy's story and look forward to both Cassie's and Cook's.
