'Big Little Lies' Needs To Answer These Six Questions Before The Finale

Will be get the "satisfying" ending we so desperately want? - by Grace Back

'Big Little Lies' Needs To Answer These Six Questions Before The Finale

When probed about the Big Little Lies season two finale, producers previously promised a "satisfying" ending. But, in order to do that they'll need to tie up a few pesky loose ends. These are the six plot lines that need to be resolved: 

1. Will Renata Finally Leave Gordon?

Ah, Gordon. Not only has Gordon single-handedly led the Klein family into bankruptcy with his shady business dealings, it was revealed that he had been paying the family nanny for sex. We say, let him have it, Renata. 

2. Can Ben Forgive Madeline?

Following a whole season of marital woes, Ben and Madeline appear to have made a breakthrough. Seeing his wife dressed in her wedding gown, dancing to one of their wedding songs, just may have been the "magic wand" Ben needed to mend his broken heart.

3. Will Bonnie's Mother Recover From Her Stroke? 

Elizabeth Howard's recovery is not looking likely - only catalysed by the season finale trailer which shoes Bonnie's mother's hospital bed being rushed away by a team of doctors.

4. Can Jane Trust Corey Again After He Spoke To The Police?

Jane has been struggling all season to overcome her past trauma and let Corey in. But, just as they were beginning to make progress, she was given a reason to doubt him. Bonnie spotted Corey leaving the police station and we believed that he might be a double agent. After Jane went looking for answers, though, he provided a very reasonable explanation: the investigator looking into Perry Wright's death had asked him in for questioning, and he'd participated without giving her any new information. Corey is set on winning her back, but Jane will have to decide if she can forgive him.

5. Who Will Win The Custody Battle?

The verdict in Celeste and Mary Louise's court battle will undoubtedly be a major plot point in the finale. While the series has gone to great lengths to make the judge appear on the fence, she's sympathetic to Celeste's situation as a widow and fellow mother. The finale trailer does show Mary Louise embracing the twins in the courtroom - but nothing has been determined just yet. 

6. Will Bonnie Reveal The Truth About Perry's Death?

Bonnie has been inching towards coming clean all season, and her mental health has begun to take its toll. The last episode she practised her admission on her unconscious mother and was so close to standing up during Celeste's custody trial and laying it all out. Even if Bonnie keeps her lips sealed, though, there could be consequences. The police seem to be narrowing in on Jane as a suspect, and Madeline knows that if she's going to fix her marriage, she needs to tell Ben the truth.
