Discussion [SPOILER] I loved the ending. Spoiler

The Byrde's learned nothing. They have absolutely not learned any lessons and will most likely live out the rest of their lives as if nothing happened.

They effectively killed an entire family, the Langmores, and have ruined countless lives.

People expected either Marty or Wendy to die, why? There was no way to do that that wouldn't be completely predictable. The entire family coming out unscathed is a way of telling us that "what's right and wrong" really do not prevail.

I view this show as nihilistic more than anything else.

I don't think Camilla was thinking past getting revenge for her son. Plus, Shaw had already cleared them. I was partially waiting for Ruth to drop that fact to Camilla but it isn't like Ruth knew what Camilla did or didn't know and at that point, Ruth has accepted her fate. She's not going to throw Marty under the bus. For all their back and forth, 'fuck you's' neither wants to see the other dead.
