Carrie is a bumbling, earnest, affable goof.
I kept repeating this to myself like a mantra for the rest of the night.
Sophie is learning from Alice, but also reminding her of important things like being a person of color in the queer world.
Indeed, she ends up decking Finley in the eye right before the smash to the title card.
I honestly love this completely made-up stereotype! But this season has raised more criticism, questions and confusion than perhaps any in the franchise to date: the optics of representation can only do so much when narratives are one-dimensional, fractured or guided by outdated tropes.
Perhaps that something… is a book? That's something Sophie gravitates towards when it comes to her relationship with Finley.
