Part two of the season finale takes “Do we need therapy?” from curiosity to catharsis. With therapist Ali guiding the room, Shay opens up about how an abusive past shaped her “go along to get along” survival mode—and how sobriety, stability, and a safer love rewired what she believed she deserved. Clifton surprises himself with the real breakthrough: realizing how rare it is to be fully seen without performing. It’s funny, tender, and unexpectedly healing—complete with an “Oklahoma” honesty codeword, a near-tearful mic moment, and one last classic CliShay detour into phone-sex-voice chaos. This is the finale that actually sticks the landing.
