The Episode Review

The season ends on a bittersweet note. Even though the Coopers’ relationships seem to be improving, the tornado and Meemaw’s loss as a consequence now present another barrier.

The finale neatly wraps up all the loose ends and if the show is brought back for another season, this episode presents new challenges that the Coopers will have to deal with, which will certainly make for an intriguing watch.
