In the madcap final episode, John and Jane's disturbing journey culminates in their luxurious brownstone home, a symbol of the life they've built together. Surrounded by expensive objects, the couple turns on each other, unleashing their pent-up frustrations in a literal fight that destroys their home and, quite possibly, their relationship. The scene is both chaotic and intimate as the pair end up sprawled on the carpet, kissing and baring their souls to one another.
Donald Glover, who also co-created the series, spoke to Variety about the symbolism of the destruction, saying:
“It was so poetic to destroy everything because it looked so millennial. Yeah, we got the water bar, we got all these beautiful things, [but] “You can still fight it. It’s not going to make anything better. Being able to buy everything on Amazon is not going to solve your problems. So, I love that. It felt like Covid all over again where everyone had to spend that year or two inside saying, ‘I made a lot of decisions right away and now I have to sit with them. Are these the right decisions?’”
