HBO’s Emmy Award-winning comedy series, ‘Hacks,’ came to an end after five seasons on Thursday night, leaving fans both heartbroken and intrigued. The series finale, which aired on HBO Max, pulled a major switcheroo with Deborah Vance’s (Jean Smart) fate, leaving viewers with a mix of emotions. Warning: Spoilers ahead! Do not proceed unless you’ve watched the series finale of ‘Hacks.’
The Unexpected Turn in Deborah’s Fate
Early in the episode, fans’ fears for Deborah became a reality when she told Ava (Hannah Einbinder) she had a cancerous mass that was spreading. To make matters worse, Deborah refused to seek treatment. Ava, as expected, didn’t take the news well, but Deborah wouldn’t budge on her decision, asking Ava to accompany her to an assisted suicide place in Switzerland where she wanted to die.
It took Ava some time before she begrudgingly agreed to join her friend and mentor on her ‘suicide mission.’
A Journey Through Paris and a Change of Heart
During their journey, Ava and Deborah stopped in Paris first, where they went shopping, toured the Louvre (whilst mocking the Mona Lisa) and went dancing at a club. But when the fun wore off, Ava again confronted Deborah over her decision to die.
After being a bit sidelined for the final season, Einbinder gave an outstanding, Emmy-worth performance, as Ava tearfully begged Deborah, ‘Please don’t leave me.’ ‘I’m sorry,’ Deborah brutally responded. True to her nature, Ava gave into Deborah’s wishes and backed off.
By the time they were at the train station ready to head to Switzerland, Ava was at peace with Deborah’s decision—but it’s Deborah who changed her mind, inspired by the pair bouncing around ideas for joint projects. Deborah, in a surprising twist, told Ava that she wanted to continue living and working together.
