Abigail is just so.
She's a girl. She's a ghost. Her name means "fathers joy" . He killed girls so he wouldn't kill her. He ate them so he could honour her. She wasn't honoured. She died. She died again. She died with each of the girls he killed. She died for the plot. She was resurrected by the plot. She haunts the plot. The girls haunt her. She haunts them. Again and again and again. She wakes up in a cold sweat every night. She drowns in a pool of her own blood. She wasn't loved, not really. Not truly. Only as extensions of guilt. As an idea, not a person. She was the lure, the tool, the bait, never the prize.
When she died, she wasnt honoured, it was just murder.

unfortunately i do think this was kind of a weak season finale, there's a lot of stuff from overarching story arcs throughout the season that feel really unresolved (not in a 'this story is gonna keep on going' way, just a straight up 'we're not addressing this any longer' kind of way).
like, have sam and lois talked? she has a lot of abandonment issues and the last time they interacted he abandoned her and it sent her spiraling, have they communicated about this? why did waller go on the run? did checkmate turn against her? why are slade and lex apparently on the same side now? they hated each other and slade should be thrilled lex's metallos failed, why are they suddenly apparently pals? do they even still work for the government? clark and lois's "break up" and the issues involved in it on both clark and lois's side hasn't ever actually been addressed and it needs to be, are we ever gonna see that? where tf are clark's little shorts????? are they gone forever?????
combining that with the fact that this episode feels really padded (given that there was just this constant circular 'they're up they're down they're up they're down' for like 90% of the fight with brainiac), i do really feel like the story would have been better served if they cut the padding, resolved the brainiac invasion at the end of ep 9, and devoted ep 10 to addressing these myriad loose ends in a tight enough way that the season doesn't feel incomplete but still leaving doors open for season 3. because some of the loose ends are fine, 'oh we don't know what happened to hank henshaw', that's just a good teaser for whenever he shows up next season as metallo, that's a good loose end to have for a season finale. but a lot of these just feel like unresolved plots that aren't getting any resolution ever. sam lane went through an entire character arc and we didn't see any of it and it feels jarring, it feels like a writing fail. which is unfortunate because i really love this show and most of the writing has been very good, especially this season.
so i hope that they're able to be a bit tighter and more cohesive for season 3. and also pay chris parnell a hundred million dollars so he can voice anime slade wilson in every single episode.

(mgv) wilson lashing out at house for making fun of him for wanting pups and spitting that this, too, can be blamed partly on house, just like how julie said house may not have broken up their marriage but certainly didn't help, either. and house looks away from him, gaze flickering as he processes. his neediness has once again kept wilson from happiness. and if anyone deserves to be happy, it's him.
"pup me, then."
"scuzi?"
and house just shrugs, struggling to meet wilson's eyes. "you have no wife, no girlfriend, and in spite of the fact that you could adopt, you've not done so, ergo you want one with your DNA. i could give you that if you wanted."
"could you?"
"last i checked, i did have those parts, but it doesn't hurt to double check--"
"you know what i mean."
and house drops his gaze again, bounces his cane on the floor. "if that would make you happy.... i would."
the beat of silence is heavy. house can't decipher the look wilson's giving him.
"let me..... let me think about it."

You know how most shows (or at least, the last few Disney shows) do a bit of a flash-forward these days?
What if BCGs does the same for its eventual finale - and, what if grown up!Cricket ends up opening up his own grocery store for his happy ending?
We already know, based on his best moments with both the cafe and the veggie stand, that Cricket does decently well when it comes to retail and salesmanship (just so long as he doesn’t try to pull any get rich quick or get out of work schemes, which I’m sure he’d grow out of by the time he reached adulthood) and would certainly have the drive to make it in the business world if he really wanted to.
And, not only would a grocery store sorta represent the show’s ‘country meets city’ theme, being the best of both worlds, it would also be a great way to keep Cricket connected to the family business without just making him another Green farmer like how Alice, Bill, and practically every other Green were. Going from farms that struggle to survive nearly every generation to a successful grocery store that can just as easily be passed down would be the ultimate win for this family.
BUT, MOST IMPORTANTLY, it would fully cement Cricket and Chip as parallel characters - two sides of the same coin, with the key difference being that while Chip only cares about himself and thus brushes aside customers, employees and potential business partners/friends alike, Cricket meanwhile is a true people-person and would likely do what he could to make his grocery store one that was welcoming to everyone, rich or poor.
It’d be a sort of full circle moment in showing how much Cricket has grown and matured while still keep to his true nature - that being a kid who, for as self-centered and reckless as he can be sometimes, ultimately cares about others - especially those he considers to be family or friends.
Idk, does anyone else feel like this would be the perfect ending for the show? Flash-forwards are already pretty solid endings imo, and given how much the Greens have already grown over the course of the series, it only seems fitting to end it with the characters fully growing up with the next generation of Greens on its way.

It's so touching to see Kipps change despite everything he's been through.
He is an example of how shine, pride, and "greatness" of Fittis is projected at young people, making them feel like being at this fancy agency is the main anchor in their life, a ground for self-worth. How selfish and cruel it is to make kids more scared of simply growing up and losing their talent than die supposedly with "Honor" and get some crap of a picture on the wall. Fear of being irrelevent, useless. The pain of changing. And honestly, can you blame Kipps, who just wanted to be seen and feel like he's worth it?
He lost his team, lost agents, and in the end, realized it actually meant nothing to Fittis when it was everything to him.
Another broken soul, another victim of The Problem and another castle, crumbled by it. He never wanted you to hate him.
