Moral of the story: TRUST WOMEN! I was so into it but felt like the ending was a little anticlimactic! I think they could have done without James taking advantage of Korey. It felt like he threw in the sexual assault of a minor for shock value. I’m glad Patricia divorced Carter, but I honestly was kind of expecting him to die! It would have been very satisfying for the men to learn that their wives were right all along, but they didn’t end up getting any credit for saving everyone in the town
