The finale is an immersive experience’. And I was thinking it would be fun to bring Tanya back because she’s a great character, but it’s probably a d*ath ride for her,” White said. “It’s not like I Really wanted to kill Tanya because I love her as a character and obviously I love Jennifer but we’re going to Italy, she’s such a diva, a larger-than-life female archetype, like felt that perhaps we could draw our own operative conclusion. On his life and story.”

The holidays don’t get off to a good start for Tanya when her husband Greg leaves and she discovers he’s been cheating on her. Things go from bad to worse when she gets involved with some shady characters led by Quentin (Tom Hollander), and spends most of her time at her villa in Palermo.

“I have a strange feeling that something bad is going to happen,” Portia tells him, and together the two piece together the mystery. Portia shares that a drunk Jack admits that Quentin had no money but was expecting a big hit. Tanya realized that her marriage would leave Greg all her money if she died, while the divorce would leave him nothing. Oh, it was also his idea that they both come to Sicily.

Somebody’s going to get it to Greg,” he said. “But maybe you’ll have to wait to find out what happens.”

When Tanya appears on the scene for a tragic ending, the finale tries to distract fans by having Ethan and Cameron fight in the water, near the spot where Daphne will later find a floating body.

In the end, Ethan and Harper rediscover their passion, Cameron finally pays Lucia off, and Ethan and Daphne may or may not have something happen when they go to a remote area together.

Albie’s father, Dominic, was blunt, telling him that if he was such an easy mark, he wouldn’t get very far in life. She still provided Lucia with the money, and she left Albie just as her father had said she would.

“At the end of the show, you see three generations of men and there’s this attractive woman who messes it up all the way and my hope is that Dominic will change so there’s a bit of structure to that with them. “Women in relationships are always full of s*x,” White said of Burt, Dominique and Albie’s final scene together at the airport.
