Season 1 finale, why did Rachel...


...get back with her husband? Did I miss something? Was there a reason explored for her reuniting with him at the airport?

reply

She had nowhere else to go, she ain’t got nothin’ else.

reply

Ok, but did that just come out of nowhere? I saw the Spa lady walk out on her, then suddenly she's at the airport forgiving her douchebag husband. Was there something in between I missed?

reply

The part where the big shot lady shoots down her puff piece. She is kind of adrift. Why’d she marry the douchbag to begin with? She talks about him wining and dining her in NYC. She’s a gold digger, and she tried to pretend she wasn’t with her low level freelance journalism so-called career. The spa lady was right to walk out on her.

reply

In the end she settled. Belinda walked out rather than giving her advice because she realised her rich person’s problems were nothing compared to her’s. This in turn led Rachel to realise she’s lucky to be privileged…so she chose to compromise her ideals and live with that.
