The Ending of 'Maid,' Explained
as she leaves her abusive boyfriend and tries to build a life for her two-year-old daughter, Maddy, with little to no resources. Alex's journey hits brief highs and intense lows as she deals with America's difficult welfare system and uncovers repressed memories about her past and her family.
The episode starts with Alex watching her mother's morning in a Walmart parking lot, after learning that Paula was living out of her car last episode. A large part of the series has focused on Alex's relationship with her mom, who she says she's been"taking care of since [she] was six." Now that she's moving, Alex wants Paula to come with her, since she's afraid no one else will take care of Paula after she leaves.
To get evidence for her case, Alex asks her father Hank to testify that Sean has abused her. Though he has been trying to bond with his estranged daughter all season, Hank has a deeper relationship with Sean, as he is a recovering alcoholic and has been acting as Sean's casual sponsor. Sean even kept in contact with Hank when Alex asked him not to, leading up to Hank witnessing an emotionally abusive, one-sided fight where Sean yelled at Alex for not wanting to eat dinner.
