“We’re not young, Liza, and we both deserve what we really want,” he says, as he kisses her forehead (oooh, a good-bye forehead kiss is rough stuff) and walks away.

He thinks marriage can work when it’s right, Liza thinks that they are finally free from all that marriage junk. He knows what he wants and he wants to get married, if that makes him old-fashioned, so be it. It would be sweet and romantic if that’s what Charles was into, but he is most definitely not. “I want to be happily unmarried to you every day,” she says. She doesn’t think they need to be married to build a life together. She’s been married and it was terrible and she doesn’t want to do that again. You know Charles shows up expecting Liza to propose, but Liza has a different idea. So, she tells him to meet her at the SeaGlass Carousel, yep the same place where they went on a date after finally getting together. It helps Liza realize what to do about Charles. It’s well past time.īut this conversation isn’t just about Josh and Liza. It’s all so nice and mature and it feels very much like the show taking a final stance on letting go of the Liza/Josh romance. “Relationships don’t have to be defined, right? We know who we are to each other,” Josh tells her.
They both know they want to be a part of each other’s lives, that they are special to each other. When she tells him that she still hasn’t given Charles an answer, his response is “what are you waiting for?” He can admit that he likes Charles for Liza and he tells her, very sincerely that he wants to see her happy. At first, he seems a bit pained about the whole thing, as is Josh’s way, but when he runs into Liza at Lauren’s 30th birthday party, he’s nothing but kind to her. Josh has learned about Charles’s proposal thanks to Lauren, who discovers the proposal on Diana’s wedding video footage and for some reason decides it’s a good idea to show it to him (so little of what Lauren does in this episode makes sense). Later, Liza has a chat with Josh that feels very much like a very firm period on their romantic relationship.
It’s nice albeit riddled with some underlying awkwardness. They make out in front of a fireworks display. He tells her that when she’s ready, she can propose to him. “Sometimes I can be impatient when I know what I want,” he says. They have their kids to think about and Charles isn’t even officially divorced. She insists that’s not what she means and she loves him but doesn’t want to rush this. Outside, Charles says that Liza’s silence is all the answer he needs. Please know that an eerily similar thing happened to her back in season one when she told Josh the truth about her age, and honestly, this woman needs to avoid having dramatic life moments on dance floors. As much as I’d like to make this recap an extended tribute to Diana (and Enzo and Diana’s neckwear), there is some real drama to get into, per usual.Īt the end of the finale, Charles popped the question to Liza and she stood there in stunned silence before being carried off in a conga line. The crew is sending them off from the reception we hear Diana yell “Arrivederci, bitches!” but never see her as she and Enzo ride off into their extended Italian honeymoon. We pick up pretty much where the season-six finale left off: at Diana and Enzo’s wedding. So, obviously a lot has changed in our world since we last had a new Younger episode, but time has stood still in the show-world. Let us all carry its spirit with us, always. But please, you must know that Trout Season rules eternal in my heart. And it is with heaviness that I have to tell you that Trout Season is officially closed for all intents and purposes within these recaps. Not to be dramatic but this is one of the greatest travesties of our time.
That’s right: The final season of Younger is Troutless. As you have probably heard by now, due to COVID-19 protocols and scheduling issues, Miriam Shor will not be in this season of Younger (well, like, she’ll probably pop up on video chat or something, but that is useless to me). This rom-com is the comforting, silly escape we all need these days, isn’t it?īut first, there is nothing comforting about the business we must handle up front. I gotta tell you, it is about time this show returned. It has been over a year and a half since we last gathered together to yell - sometimes in delight, sometimes in frustration - about Younger shenanigans.
