'In total, Big Little Lies feels like a fake out when we were promised a smorgasbord of gutting drama...'
, but neither of those stories ever anchored an episode. Instead, they simply gave us relief from the emotional horrors of Celeste’s trial.
So, Celeste’s finale family court win should be the greatest victory of the season. Yet, the Monterey Five’s confession completely undoes it. If police do decide to send Celeste to prison for months-long obstruction of justice — and a far-reaching plot to cover up manslaughter or murder — Mary Louise is going to get the boys. If Celeste simply gets a slap on the wrist or a fine, Mary Louise still has a case to get the boys.
Despite the finality of all these scenes, none of these storylines were genuinely given real closure. Madeline’s daughter Abigail officiates the McKenzie ceremony, but we never learn if she’s going to go to college. Or, if Madeline has worked on her feelings of inadequacy around her own lack of a college degree.
Bonnie suffers from disregard the most. While her scenes of grief with Elizabeth are some of season 2’s best, we’re left with so many questions. What do her and Elizabeth's bedside trinkets mean? Why did her mother see her drowning? Between that premonition, the many repeated images of Bonnie tossing herself into the surf, and those suspicious shots of Big Sur’s Bixby Bridge,wanted us to believe Bonnie was in real mortal danger.
