    I thought of it as unethical, but she’d consider it a breach of more than just ethics, but core friendship/trust, that he didn’t tell her about what happened in New Mexico. The fact that it was something involving an underage girl but he didn’t tell her about it, made it seem like he was covering up more than what actually happened. If I thought my friend had molested a girl, I’d be tripping like she was, you know? I get why she wasn’t thinking clearly or making the most “professional” of decisions.

    I also notice that anger is the main motivator for Diane to write. She gets writer’s block unless something or someone pisses her off, then she gets manic about “exposing the truth”. Then depression comes after when the truth gets exposed and nothing changes, especially not drastically or overnight. Suddenly all that “consciousness raising” you thought was powerful was just blowing hot air…

    She learns how to write when she’s happy, about happy subjects, and that’s part of her breaking free of her addiction to negativity.





  • It’s an ending that condemns suicide as “taking the easy way out” rather than face the consequences of one’s actions. Some people could understand why he’d take that option though, he’s done so much that has hurt so many that he may feel irredeemable except through suicide. But the show is saying that suicide does not redeem a person. Staying alive, letting their dirty laundry air publicly, and facing everyone knowing everything about them, while staying committed to living honestly going forward, is real redemption.

    Perhaps the writers were sick of seeing bad characters be “redeemed” or suddenly become sympathetic after dying.
