[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But what was the ending? I feel like maybe I didn’t get it. She showed up at the Labor Day party and maybe she had a cut over her eye because she was in a car accident? She must have looked a mess so it was obvious she was in a sorry state? I think the significance of the ending may have blown by me?  In a my haste to get to the end because I was anxious like you, PP. [/quote]

I liked how open-ended it is, so you can impose your own meaning. But I’m pretty sure the ending is this: She shows up at Simon’s party looking absolutely deranged (which she is). No one is happy to see her, least of all Simon. He may even know about the incident with the painting. But the wealthy are non-confrontational. Laurie is looking at a point behind her— probably at private security, which are just moments from kicking her out. She’ll then face actual criminal charges or (maybe more scarily?), she will have to face Dom, who knows everything now and is a bad, bad guy.

She’s finally hit rock bottom and yet still doesn’t quite realize it. The magical solution of Simon saving her is done. Her story is over. [/quote]
