Fleabagis so funny and caustic that its easy to forget its actually about boundless grief.
Its not a collection of happy endings, but it is a collection of right ones.
This ensemble focus is reflected by the episodes title card, which doesnt readFleabag, butThe Wedding.
That doesnt mean that Godmother isnt still suspicious of Fleabags ability to cause a scene.
(No more miscarriages, she hisses at her through her teeth pre-ceremony.)
But he does genuinely love Claire, even if he has almost exclusively fucked-up ways of showing it.
The revelation that the Priest doesnt want the relationship to continue doesnt actually change the equation at all.
Hes learned that he can have real, serious doubts about his faith and come out the other side.
Shes learned that she can love again, and lose again, and the world wont end.
The shows final scene is about Fleabag reevaluating her relationship with her grief.
Talking to the camera was once her means of escape, but theres nothing she needs to escape anymore.
As promised, weve seen a love story one every bit as unconventional and unforgettable as Fleabag herself.
