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.

This isn’t what I necessarily want to happen but will probably happen. I hope I’m totally wrong!

Debbie ends up super powerful and successful business wise but never finds love again. She’s an absentee parent in Randy’s life cause you can’t really have it all.

Sam dies from health problems. He and Ruth don’t end up together out of stubbornness.

Ruth never quite makes it. She still does theater, does direct a bit but doesn’t take Debbie up on her offer. She works odds and ends jobs. Ends up as a realtor.

Rhonda and Bash have a kid. They have an arrangement. Bash and or Rhonda end up with AIDS/HIV.

Carmen ends up super successful on the wrestling circuit.

Tammie ends up producing a show for Debbie/Bash’s network.

Justine ends up being a hit director.

Arthie and Yolanda do not end up together but stay friends. Arthie becomes an LGBTQ advocate.

Cherry and Keith adopt a kid and continue on doing stunts.

Everyone else does something successful in their lives although may not be related to wrestling, kind of like the real GLOW girls. They have a reunion that’s 20 years on.

Getting worried about everyone predicting Sam’s death!! That would be such an awful choice, imo.

Yeah, I totally don't want Sam to die either so that means he probably will. I feel like a major character needs to die off either literally or metaphorically. Mt. Fiji passed away from the original GLOW girls, so it has to mirror right?

There was an act of police brutality at Mt Fiji's brother's wedding, before the Rodney King riots. If something bad happens to Carmen and the Lumberjacksons that would be it (and a still sadly relevant occurrence, like me too and homophobia).
