I mostly found it funny that the two people who give Keller a reality check this episode are Black. This awfully written and delivered monologue isn’t totally on par with the “Oppression Olympics” clip from Ginny and Georgia, but it comes pretty close in cringe. She ends up giving Keller a now-viral speech about being a spoiled middle-class white girl who needs to align herself with some struggle that isn’t really hers.
But first, Keller takes up a side job returning unwanted gifts for a wealthy woman whose entire character is just an SNL impression of Viola Davis in literally anything. Thanks to such messy writing, the only logical next step in their character development is that they become axe murderers. They definitely could’ve just shut down Gossip Girl and moved on with their lives, but these creeps are so obsessed with the morality of these children who aren’t even theirs that they have to wrap this corrupt experiment up in some unnecessary lesson.Īt this point, Kate, Jordan, and Wendy’s brains have all been completely warped by their own mythology, and it’s hard to picture them reverting back to relatively normal human beings - if they ever were that. The teachers think their hands are clean now that they’ve forced everyone to be honest and presumably won’t receive any more tips. But thankfully we’re spared from focusing on the aftermath for too long. So the whole “everyone finding out about the Burn Book in Mean Girls” fiasco has been copy-pasted into this finale, and I can’t think of a more hack ending to a season.
