[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I am very anti “shiv is going to abort!” because I think it’s a huge reach and there is like 1-2 posters obsessed with that idea who keep talking about it. 
BUT!
Two episodes left and shiv has only told Tom so far (who didn’t even seem to believe her). And it seems each episode only lasts a day (or two). Which means the series will end way before Shivs due date. 
I could totally see the end of her arc being that she either leaves Tom/ leaves her entire family (or is kicked out), aborts, and goes off somewhere alone. 
Or, commits suicide. She took some big blows this season.

I don’t think it’s realistic to end the series with a main character being pregnant and not having the pregnancy be resolved either by a baby being born or by the pregnancy ending. It’s not a neat closure otherwise. I think the series will somehow need to complete her pregnancy arch- either by shiv having the baby, miscarrying, aborting, or committing suicide. [/quote]

I don't see Shiv committing suicide because despite the challenges she's had this season, she seems to have held onto her sense of self-worth. She might feel extremely isolated, but I think she's suicidal.

There are a bunch of other characters who seem to be spiraling down and are self-medicating or in denial about their pain, and I think they are at much greater risk for self harm. Shiv, with all her faults, is "feeling her feelings" which my therapist always says is healthy even when it sucks.[/quote]
