Is this leading to a shark attack with Paula chumming the waters on the scuba boat?

ETA: Doesn’t look like it.

I don’t know why, but that would’ve been hilarious to me.

That was my first thought. These last 20 minutes are going to be awesome with him coked up at dinner.

I’m a few minutes behind as of right now (everyone is at dinner). But I’m gonna be super disappointed if Paula kills herself and that’s the climax.

That was great. My wife and I were rolling during Armand's shite scene. It was an almost perfect finale. I didn't like that nothing happened with Paula.

I really liked Quinn’s little arc. Total poster child of what’s wrong with today’s youth, but finds a passion in the “real” world.

Does this episode start out the same as 1? Or is my shite fricked up?

So Greg is terminally ill I’m guessing. “Don’t be surprised if I suddenly drop dead.” I really hope it’s not him either. He’s such a side character and doesn’t matter at all.

I’m not sure why Belinda got her hopes completely up based on drunk ramblings from some random hotel guest. And don’t throw the damn business plan away; that could come in handy one day. And it looks like she left you a shitpile of cash anyway.

Quinn wanting to stay at 16 years old is hilarious. Get your arse back on the plane, kiddo.

At this point it feels like there’s a legit outside shot that Armond goes insane and murders everyone.

frick Olivia still wanting to be friends with Paula. She set your family up to be robbed and got your mom and dad assaulted, which could’ve gone much worse. frick her. Even if you don’t want to rat her out, don’t be her friend anymore.

Belinda being a count to Rachel. Uncalled for. Don’t answer the phone and go meet her if you’re gonna just do that.

I could’ve pieced together Armond shitting in the luggage without actually seeing it. Good Lord. And Plop coming back to the room is awesome.

Goddammit. It’s Armond? Nooooooooo. I was hoping it wouldn’t be him since Plop is obviously not arrested. But clearly that’s a case of self defense I guess, and the hotel (and staff) is liable. But still, damn. I loved Armond.

Plop did such a great job acting that character. He’s such a believable dickbag.

Quinn staying? That’s stupid. Olivia and Paula going back to being arrogant sloots? Makes sense. Plop getting a happy ending sucks, but we know that is only kicking that can down the road a little further, so that’s not a bad ending for them I guess. Stifler getting the man and having a happy ending is whatever, but good for her I guess. Belinda back to being stuck at the resort kinda makes me happy that she’s stuck.

All in all, it wasn’t too bad of an ending really. I kinda dig how it all played out. I’d definitely check out a season two whenever that comes out.

Yeah I agree with that.

Also, with how “someone was killed,” Plop’s reaction to that in episode one makes a lot more sense now too. Not surprising that he’d not only not want to talk about that, but why it would piss him off and make him snap at those people. Even though he’s still an a-hole, it makes sense.

I can live with that ending considering the number of shows that never nail the conclusion

Will be hard to top this cast in season 2 but should be fun

I’m disappointed it’s over.

I guess that means it was a good show…I’m craving more

It was like a real vacation… i had fun, don’t want to go home, but it’s over…damn, back to real life

I like how the kid did what we've all wanted to do at the airport when leaving Hawaii. Just say frick all that I'm staying and turn around and run out.

alexandra daddario was great in this last episode. The terrified look she gives him at the end is so good

Couldn’t stand Paula but she has to live with what she did for the rest of her life. Man I could not stand her. Solid finale and a good show. The luggage scene

Great ending. Paula dropping that necklace in the ocean was a good scene. She feels terrible because she inadvertently brought the family closer together, and got her boyfriend arrested. She fricked that whole situation up so badly. She thought she was being some woke warrior but ruined Kai’s life and actually ended up helping the family she was trying to burn.

All true, but I still wanted something worse to happen to her.

But overall excellent last episode.

Olivia with rich white girl guilt, wish Kia would have rolled on Paula.

Well said. I fricking hated her character, and was hoping something bad would happen to her. At first watch it may seem she gets away scot free, but as you said, she’ll have to live with fricking over Kai forever. Sounds like a pretty good punishment.

I need Armand to have a twin brother for the Fiji resort for season 2. ( just an idea )

Paula is such a thunder count . Hope her lifelong guilt is way more than whatever white guilt she tries to make everyone else feel around her

Edit: after thinking about it, even if they didn’t do a twin brother, cast Armand again and have season 2 set before season 1 and Armands accent sounds Australian-ish to me and then at the end of season 2, have him being informed of a transfer to the Hawaiian resort. Bam.

I wonder if that’s the way Paula was supposed to come across. I feel like they may have been going for the poor minority girl who we are supposed to empathize with. If that’s what they intended, they did a horrible job
