Horrendous ending. I think I identify with Laurie a bit too much which made the ending triggering and overall anxiety and stress inducing.

She comes back to her abusive mother who, spoiler alert, keeps being abusive and narcissistic towards her daughter. Laurie perceives it as her duty to be the continuation of her mother because her own dreams have failed (she once again relives the trauma of abandonment that her mother put her through her whole childhood and she did it again by "removing" Greg) and being Silk Spectre is basically all she has left. There was also a bit of narrative about "rEsPeCt YoUr PaReNtS". Respectfully. Fuck. That. Shit. #FreeLaurie
