Maggie is pregnant and Gary has cancer. Oh, and Anna's going to jail (I never liked her anyway--Eddie deserves better). Oh, and Tyrell is going to Yale after all, Rome doesn't have to quit his job and Kathryn and Greta got back together courtesy of Theo and Kathryn's mom. Happy endings for everyone (except possibly Gary). I think Sophie and Danny are gone next season. They no longer have storylines, and their mom is in France. Sophie's old enough to be on her own, but Danny's not, so back to "France" he goes.
Just have to add that we went to our trans friend's graduation party yesterday. It was very nice. His dad didn't show up. My son told me in the car that he overheard his friend talking to someone else about his dad being an "A-hole" (my son's word) over the transition. So sad. I explained to him that it would be hard for a parent at first to accept the "loss" of the child they loved, but most people should realize that their child is still the same person on the inside they always were. He said to me, "I'll always love and support Sam, no matter which gender he is. He's still the same on the inside." Gave my heart a throb. My son's 21, but on the ASD spectrum, so a little "younger" than his peers, but he's a good soul in his heart.

I read and enjoyed Jennifer Finney Boylan's book and enjoyed her being on Caitlyn's show too.
Jazz isn't filming now, but her brother (one of a pair of twins) is on Instagram all the time. Her sister is getting a second degree, one brother in law school, Jazz finished her first year at Harvard. Instagram brother is quite an outspoken ally and pushes back on what is happening in Florida all the time.
Julie, I know it has been something to deal with and it sounds like you have been there all the way for your son. That is pretty cool that he is liking the adam's apple, thanks to the hormones.
======
The show. Eddie may also be in trouble since he lied to police and others, giving Anna an alibi.
Yes, for many of them things wrapped up well but we are left with will Maggie stay pregnant? Gary had what they thought was a new breast cancer tumor, which was removed but was not cancer.. but, there is a tumor in the lung. They didn't mention if they will biopsy to determine if it is a primary tumor o lung cancer or, more likely breast cancer metastasized to the lung. But that is left hanging, in general.
Glad Rome was able to remind the father of Maddox that he just needed to go with the love of his child, as he know is and that seemed to happen (a bit accelerated for real life, but this isn't real life).
Nice to see Theo bring his grandmother around and for them to advocate for Kathryn.
Babyjax, your son sounds lovely and I've found that those on the spectrum often see things more clearly and cut through some cultural crap, more than supposed "normies".

Sea, I've notice that, too. He doesn't seem to care about what others think of him or about trying to be "cool," so I think he is his genuine self all the time. He constantly amazes me. đ

BJM, your son sounds like an awesome human!
Man they really like to wrap things up neatly on this show. Three episodes for the trans storyline? Two talks with Rome and the dad is good? I sure hope they donât end this storyline now. My husband and I were on the same page from the start and absolutely accepting (albeit confused and yes, scared) and it would take at least a full season of AMLT to wrap our particular storyline up!! ;)
And just when I thought I was so super sick of Gary and Maggie (and I was super irritated that they were upset over ONE round of IVF not working) and then the cancer storyline hooked me and now Iâm back to liking them and forgiving the ridiculousness of them not being more realistic about ONE round of IVFâŚ

I didnât even pick up that they were upset over one round of IVF. I try not to judge how people react even though I definitely would be like âyou have no ideaâ.

I imagine that any couple undergoing IVF starts out thinking it will work and woud be upset if the first try failed. Only as time goes on would they realize that this just isn't always what happens, one and done and that it is usually quite an effort and extremely stressful.

Julieboo, when I was hoping to get pregnant, I used to hope every month that I was, only to be sad when I got my period. Finally, about a year and I half after we had been "trying," I was a couple of days late, so I went and bought a test. I'll never forget watching those pink lines appear and going, "Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!" I had wanted a baby since I was a teenager, but my situation was never amenable to it, so I was over the moon to find myself pregnant at the age of 44 (45 when I delivered). My biggest fear was having a miscarriage, but everything worked out, and I have the sweetest boy in the world. I understand how someone would be sad that one round of IVF didn't work. It's not necessarily realistic, but you can still be disappointed and sad.

Good point about them being first timers. Though when we were going through IVF, I knew the chances of it working the first time were not really high. So I guess I assumed they would have done a little investing and would have been prepared. BUT then to know their time was super limited due to Garyâs time being super limited, I get it!

Plus it's super expensive. Isn't IVF about $20k a pop, with no guarantees? I know there are some lucky people whose health insurance will cover the cost (I had a friend who used her health insurance that way), but that is rare.

He was a war buddy of Gary's dad. He saved his Dad's life. He was gay and he didn't want his family to know. Gary's dad took the picture of Gene, the guy they went to visit,from Doug's helmet when he was dying to give to Gene one day.

Thanks. They had to reach a little far to bring that storyline in.

They had that story on a previous season, so it wasn't that far, reach-wise.
I am sorry it is ending but will enjoy this season.
Of course they had me thinking Gary had died in episode 1, for a minute there..

Julie, it was a bit of a jump, but last episode, Eddie called Delilah and mentioned how much he missed Charlie but she seemed to hang up on him.
I am thinking maybe some storylines will have jumps because this is the last season. So we can only guess that either Delilah offered to let Eddie have visitation for school vacations or maybe there was a lawsuit or threat of one? So, blam! there she was.. he also seems to have jumped ahead in his new relationship.

Seamonkey, that makes sense to make such wide jumps if they only have like 10 (or?) episodes left. But then makes me wonder why theyâd add a new storyline like Romeâs wife (canât think of her name) and the politician. There was also seemingly a few lines cut when Theo was asking Eddie about how he knew the (forgot her name) lady who hit him. Theo asks a question then they cut to commercial and when they come back, Theo says âbut that doesnât explainâŚâ so whatever Eddie answered was cut.

1. How did Charlie come back to America?? Did they send her unaccompanied? Did they send Eddie to get her?
2. Why did Delilah not come back with her?
3. Did we ever find out if Gary works? If so, What does he do?

Gary is an Actuary - i think we discussed this a couple years ago...
Danny or Sophie could have gotten Charlie too..

Delilah told Eddie that her father's house was finally sold in one of the early episodes this season, e1 or e2, and Eddie said he wanted Charlie to visit. I think we're meant to assume she sent Charlie then, before finishing up with the move herself. They only went there for her (Delilah's) dad, as he had alzheimer's, and he died sometime last season I think. So Delilah's been there just trying to tidy everything up before moving back to the US for good. I think.
If we're meant to think about it, I think we're meant to assume Danny brought Charlie back.
Why did they give Delilah such a wild wig to make her look like she originally did?! She's been away for ages, so it's not like the character couldn't have changed her hairstyle.

I believe the actress lived in Canada, and travelled back and forth for filming, and when covid started she either couldn't travel or had to go through quarantine each way, so she'd either have to live away from her family, or take a break. She took a break.

This is it:
quote:âShe has, for the first two seasons, lived away from her boys and from her husband,â executive producer DJ Nash told TVLine at the time. Her ability to work a few days and then fly home for the rest of the week âwent away with COVID, because the second she stepped out of Canada, there was a 14-day reset,â he adds. âSo we wrote her out for [Season 3], thinking, âOh, sheâll be back.â And then she said, âI really need to be with my family more, I donât want to do all the episodes.ââ
He added that he was glad to work out a solution that kept Szostak part of the series. âAnd thatâs why I called [the Season 4 premiere] âFamily First,ââ he said, âbecause I really get it,â he says. âAnd thatâs exactly what our showâs about.â

First think out of my husband's mouth...why does her hair look so weird...lol I agree with you all. Hair looked peculiar. And living in Paris she could have not only changed her hairstyle a dozen times...she could have completely changed the color too lol Certainly stylists on set had a better quality wig, if they felt it was needed.
Covid really changed or ended many of the shows/series that we watched, sadly
