This post will contain spoilers so, for those who have yet to see the Greenleaf series finale be forewarn.
The final episode of Greenleaf was full of emotions from
the beginning to end. The episode preceding
the finale had Bishop suffering from a stroke and left the audience wondering
if he would survive. In the beginning
of the finale we see Lady Mae lying next to the Bishop’s body and we realize
that the Bishop has passed away. We see
the family crying and lying with the Bishop’s body and then we see the family
at the gravesite as the Bishop’s casket is being lowered. The Bishop’s death was really sad and
emotional for anyone who is a Greenleaf viewer. I will say that I was not totally surprised
by his passing, because before the season started all the trailers were playing
the song ‘Going Up Yonder’ and I figured someone was probably going to die this
season. I was still disappointed that
the Bishop had to die and he and Lady Mae did not get a chance to remarry.
Now the highlight of the episode was when Lady Mae got a
chance to preach at Calvary. Her sermon
was incredibly moving. Watching her
preach about ‘make me new ‘ was totally inspiring. And watching AJ be so moved by the sermon
that he went down to the alter to be saved was wonderful.
The episode ends with Grace leaving for New York for a
job interview in New York. There is a
touching moment between Lady Mae and Grace, where Mae tells Grace “thank you
for sowing discord in my fields of peace, they needed it.” This was a call back to the first episode and
shows how far Grace and Mae’s relationship has come.
The finale did leave us with some unanswered questions
and probably should have been 2 hours or at least 90 minutes when you take in
account all of the commercials that were shown. For the most part I found the finale satisfying
and a fitting end to an enjoyable show.
