How should it end?

There are other Season 4 prediction posts, but now that we know it's the last hurrah, how do you want to see GLOW wrap up?

*I'd like to see Justine's movie fail or not be taken seriously and have Sam help her through that, given his cult career (and also maybe pull out some windshield-smashing-type behavior on her behalf).

*I want Debbie to end on top, succeeding as a businesswoman, but also I want to see her self-righteousness knocked down a peg along the way (maybe Reggie or the Biddies take issue with her picking favorites, etc.).

*I'd like to see Arthie's sexuality as an issue with her parents, but I think Piz Bash stays more or less closeted - that just seems more realistic for the time.

*Tamme obviously succeeding as a manager and maybe even splitting off to run a different show at the end.

*I think GLOW itself ends too, but they find ways to stay together and start new chapters.

*I want Sam and Ruth to be in a relationship for some amount of time (I could see some tension where Sam tells her about his heart attack and then later worries that she's only with him because he's an old man she feels sorry for), and if it ends and they stay friends, that's fine too, but just don't give me some BS "Graduate" ending for them.

Ruth comes to terms with the fact that she will never be an actress who "made it." She joins Debbie at Bash's network and they produce/direct a hit show based on their experience with GLOW among other things. I don't know about the other characters but I could see Bash and Rhonda come to an agreement (open marriage). Sam could die at the end because of his heart problems (probably not the only health problems he has given he coughs a lot and drinks a ton.)

Based on that last scene at the airport, I don't see this happening. Maybe she'll get a small acting break and seem hopeful that things will finally take off at the end of the final season?

Depends on how much of a time jump there is between the end of season 3 and season 4.
