In the exciting season finale of FX's English Teacher, will Evan keep things friendly or step into a new relationship? Let’s dive into a quick recap!
Malcolm throws him a delightful surprise party for Evan's birthday at a lively gay bar, inviting all their work friends—what a fun twist! Even Harry makes an appearance, adding a touch of awkwardness for Evan, who’s trying to stick to his rule about not dating colleagues. Throughout the episode, Evan dodges a serious relationship conversation with Harry, but even Malcolm can sense a spark between them. Just when Malcolm is performing for Evan and Harry and Malcolm are up on stage, a heartfelt talk from Markie gets Evan thinking, leading him to realize that he genuinely cares for Malcolm.
In the meantime, Gwen navigates her breakup with her boyfriend, feels the weight of the empty backyard pool, and struggles to find a job. This situation makes Markie feel it might be the perfect moment to share his feelings for her. However, things turn when Gwen realizes Nick is truly the one for her, and they find their way back together. Poor Markie, though!
"Birthday" serves as an exemplary illustration of two significant aspects: 1. It effectively concludes the majority of the narrative arcs presented throughout this season, encompassing Nick's backyard pool scenario and Evan's contemplation regarding his involvement in a romantic relationship. 2. Evan's narrative trajectory concerning his relationship unfolds in an authentic manner, rendering his decision to choose Malcolm over Harry well-suited for the character. This episode is a genuine season finale that elicits joy and fosters hope for an upcoming season.
Overall, I give "Birthday" a 9.5/10.
