Kate and Carinn recap the finale of Little Fires Everywhere on Hulu. We tried not to cry, we did not fully succeed. And then we tried to do the show notes, but that made us cry again. You should really listen to this entire episode, but if you really want to skip to specific parts here’s a guide:*** We start at the end. Because we can’t not begin by talking about the fire and how the show burns it all down in the end, not just the house, but the carefully constructed lives these character’s have created. And finally, in the ash, Mia is forgiven and Elena SEES. (6:31)*** Pearl writes in her journal and shares it with Mia, but really she shares what all of us are thinking or should be thinking. Her analogy about the bird in the gilded cage hits us so profoundly. (24:14)*** One of the real gifts of this episode is the Ingrid Michaelson song, “Build It Up,” written specifically for this show. Carinn believes the song actually tells us what to do in life: build it up and break it down (repeat). We get super personal (remember the crying, it’s back). (38:50)*** We finally head back to the other storylines. (54:07) * Elena vs Mia (54:40) * The Moody-Pearl-Trip Love triangle (65:40) * Elena vs “Bad Ass” Bill (75:06) * The Custody Battle (79:44)*** We are not only rooting for Season Two, but lobbying to be assistants in the writers' room.
