what happens

In the light of extraordinary personal revelations, Tommy takes a course of action that will change everything. Meanwhile, his enemies' plans start to fall into place.

how it went

Left to right is this episode — its opening to its closing minutes. This is the one span the comments were always describing.

FUN

how good a time it was

MEANINGFUL

how much it moved you

Read from 23 comments — 11 said when.

The number holds — it is read from every comment. The shape is not settled: only 11 said when something happened, and below 20 the same evidence split in half draws two different pictures. Drawn faint for that reason.

Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Hover the curveDrag across the curve to see what people said at any point.

height: how intense it got, 0–100
gold above: how tender it felt. violet below — what it cost. Thick on both at once means it was doing both.
tension rail: how much was still unresolved
grey haze: how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

what people actually wrote

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

“Literal chills at the end when Tommy was saying Lizzie doesn’t belong on that table with people who have done evil things.”

“That moment when Tommy introduces Duke -- can anyone imagine how Lizzie must have felt? Her daughter just died. Tommy wasn't even there. Now, here he is, announcing his new son. I don't doubt Tommy loved Ruby but it gives the same impression as when one buys a new dog to replace the old one. The actress who plays Lizzle is brilliant, you could read the pain on her face and the way her voice just choked.”

“Idk why but I found it so funny when Tommy just casually mentions Finn has a wife, and it just cuts to Finn for the first time in like five episodes, then he immediately moves on”
