Ava and Deborah’s final conversation puts a shocking capper on a fantastic season—so good that, if the show were to end here, it’d be a satisfying way to go out.
may have just finished out its third season, but the show has never felt quite so energetic. In Season 3, young comedy writer Ava Daniels and legendary comic Deborah Vance are no longer adversaries, obliged to work with each other for one reason or another. When the show began, Ava needed work so desperately that she agreed to write for Deborah, despite Deborah’s pushing back against Ava’s “woke” comedy.
But in Season 3, Deborah and Ava are as close to equals as they’ve ever been. Not only that: They’re friends. Watching that prickly friendship develop has madea blast to watch since it began in 2021, and enlivened the series with an emotional undertone that is strong enough to prop it up even in its weaker moments.
In last week’s episode, Ava told a reporter writing a profile on Deborah that, despite seeming tough, the comedian really just has high standards that she expects everybody to live up to. “If you meet those standards, she’ll take care of you,” Ava said. In the published profile, Ava was quoted as saying, “A ‘hack’ is someone who does the same thing over and over. Deborah is the opposite. She keeps evolving and getting better.
This full-circle moment of closure, combined with Ava and Deborah’s long hug after Deborah finds out that she got her talk show, would suggest thatwas ready to tie Deborah’s wigs up with a beautiful bow. The Season 3 finale could’ve simply given us a taste of what it’s like for the pair to work together, striving for good ratings, better jokes, and battling the late-night boys club. It would be a button on this story that no viewer could possibly be upset with.did something much more clever.
On Deborah’s first writing day for her show, she shows up to see Ava waiting for her at the studio. Deborah tells Ava that she’s happy to see her, but Ava has other plans. “I realized that it would be really, really bad if people found out that you slept with the chairman of this company right before he gave you your own show. The optics of that are pretty rough, especially since the show needs to be bulletproof, like you said.
