Exactly! If they hadn't messed her up so much, then there could have been some real tension with the idea that an idyllic life in GA with her and the kid was a likely thing. Instead, it felt like that would be just as bad a choice as staying in Harlan (albeit with less ancestral feuding).

You couldn't tell how it was going to all end up right until that last scene. And with that, there was a huge amount of suspense with what was in the glasses. A fantastic job of mirroring the beginning of the season, too.
