Almost All is Resolved in the 'MaryLand' Finale
Considering the oodles of family drama in the first two episodes, MaryLand had quite a bit to wrap up in its third and final installment. When viewers last left Rosaline and Becca, long-held family secrets were revealed, alcohol was consumed, and Becca’s husband, Jim, had just arrived to check in on his wife. Their reunion is unsurprisingly fraught. Jim tells his wife he’s been dealing with their younger daughter, who has taken off with her boyfriend. Becca finally tells Jim that Mary committed suicide.
That revelation doesn’t stop the two from having a huge fight. “I don’t want this life,” she yells at him. She feels ignored. He accuses her of micromanaging their life. “I can’t even go to the bubbly without you telling me how to piss straight.” He decides not to stay at the house and to check into a B&B. But we know Jim is basically a good guy because he says to his wife, “Call me if you need anything practical doing” before storming off.
Rosaline and Becca’s dad, Richard, also arrives at the Isle of Man with his granddaughters in tow. (Ed note: This is the boyfriend Becca’s daughter took off with? Perhaps Jim should reconsider his temper tantrum.) He’s refusing to have Mary buried in the Isle of Man. He wants her body back in England. “She cheated me out of the life I thought I might have, and she’s not going to make a fool of me in death,” he tells his daughters. Male temper tantrums all around then!
