I can feel how the show makers were tired of this show in this episode and in some episodes of this season.
What I don't like is that the Tommy character came out of nowhere and he's suddenly ''perfect'' for Rachel. You can feel how the show makers of Unreal created him just for that purpose. He feels so two-dimentional for that reason. He doesn't live up to Rachel as a character of Unreal. He doesn't even live up to most characters of this show because they don't feel so artificial as opposed to him. Even secondary characters were shown to us from different angles of who they are.
And even though I haven't seen the final episode yet I can sense that the direction it's going is ''happily ever after'' for everybody. This whole thing about Rachel ''finally finding'' someone who loves her for ''what she is''. But is it really true? They wrote him like someone who's super into what she's doing so he's her ''true soulmate''. However, since she's a three-dimentional character it's not what she is or at least it's not everything she is. It's her pathology that comes from her traumas and her delusion. As someone who recognized some of my own traumas, I know that my defences and the person I became because of them are not what really defines me as a human being and it's something I no longer identify with despite being like that for most of my life.
I take my words and the way I rated this episode back if she doesn't end up with Tommy in the end. Rachel, please don't marry him. Just reject him straight away and continue the journey of finding yourself. This man is not someone you'll find yourself with or in.
Scenes where she has her hair falling off and where she's hinding it give me hope. Hope my interpretation of them is correct. Unless they'll make Tommy a full-blown ''savior'' who will accept every single thing about her. But that will make this show truly unreal and the irony of it and what the makers of this series were buinding during 3 seasons will be lost completely.
