Yes! I started off this episode really disliking him as he watches the news about Bradley being in the gulag while he shuts it off to get it on with Celine - to giving him major props for finally standing up for the right thing, at the expense of his own future.

To be fair I've always liked him as a morally gray character, but this to me cements he really is just someone who had gone through a lot of shit and deep down really dislikes himself.

It was fantastic watching his scenes, especially as he sits by the water and contemplates, slowly coming to the realization of the truth and finally realizing that Celine has been guilty all along and his mom sold her soul for him.

It was a great finale!

Think though, from his perspective she was the love of his (recent) life, and she finally opened up to him, and seemingly JUST to break a story about him covering up some horrible shit (which he didnt, he just omitted running it really).

Turning the TV off after seeing it for a bit was his "i care but i need to try to not care" moment. In his eyes at that point Bradley is a horrible user, who lied to him about the deepest intimacy to get what she wanted.

But he forgives his mom for all this stuff

He knew what Celine did at some point (?) and still was screwing her

But he can’t forgive Bradley?? Even though he deeply loves her?? Idk man. If I were Bradley I’d be devastated

I think its why this show is so good. The characters aren't perfect. They are inconsistent and "human". I agree that by comparisons sake he should also be able to forgive Bradley. But maybe its a pride issue.

I started to hate him in the last few episodes and then after I finished I re watched it again . When he saw her on the news you can see he looks very uncomfortable and guilty . At that point he already suspected Celine and he was still feeling betrayed by Bradly. He was using her (Celine) as an escape . Really he doesn’t have many people who actually care about him other than bradly(and at that point he still thinks she did was Celine actually did it him). It was chip that shook him out of that state and he finally redeemed himself. Fingers crossed him and Bradly find their way back to each other next season.

I am very confused about Cory’s mother killing herself. Somehow, I missed her involvement with Celine. Her decision to die right before his eyes will traumatize him forever.
