Then, Ivy leaves, and they pursue something that pails in comparison and hasn’t been given nearly as much attention. They basically just said ‘ this is the endgame; they’re in love ‘ and left it at that. For a couple who has little chemistry, especially, that isn’t the way to go 😂 You shouldn’t try to force the ship, but you shouldn’t let a better option dangle in front of the faces of the audience and, then, take it away, either. I also think that the problem with Glass Believer being rushed is the fact that storylines overlap them. It was basically like ‘ We want our endgame at the end, but let’s focus on our long list of storylines and ideas that we have first. ‘ To be honest, those storylines were better than Glass Believer, but it still doesn’t help their case much. It certainly doesn't help their case. I mean, honestly, I felt like Henry was getting more scenes with Ivy than with Jacinda, and for good reason - to show that she was going head over heels for him to further her down the road to redemption. But the best way they could have ended that road would be her saving him and then his realizing that she was the one for him all along. Plus, having those storylines overlap with Glass Believer was a problem in itself because those storylines combined with the Ivy moments overshadowed the relationship even more than if there had just been Ivy moments, because now everything feels more interesting than the actual endgame relationship storyline. Seriously, it makes me feel like the writers realized their mistake but were obviously in too deep to back out, what with Lucy being the child and all, so they felt like they had no choice but to wrap it up as it was. Oh, and get rid of Ivy, too, because that would tooootally help. A divorce plot wouldn't be too bad...right? welp Ha!... no it wouldn't be, although it would never work this late into the story at the finale. And we'd need actual problems in Henry and Ella's relationship. Aside from the problems that the audience point out, of course - like,an in-universe problem, such as if they aren't loyal to each other (Henry would never cheat, although Ella's character could be changed... I'd hate to do that to her, but y'know, what else can you do at this point).
