The finale, titled "Allison’s House," brings the two timelines crashing together violently. The sitcom set literally falls apart. Laugh tracks glitch out.

She lies, manipulates, and endangers everyone around her, all while wearing the hollow smile of a sitcom wife. Kevin, alone in the living room with a
