The song was actually performed by Willie Nelson and Paula Nelson, not Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Can you believeBig Little LiesSeason 2 is actually over?
But who says we can’t hold on alittlebit longer?
Here’s what you may have missed during the finale and what that ambiguous ending ofBig Little Liesreally meant.
Note: This article contains spoilers.
With both women battling for custody of Perry and Celeste’stwinboys, the kid gloves were officially off.
As a lawyer, Celeste took the opportunity to question Mary Louise herself.
This was, of course, a risky move and one that made Celeste’s legal representative squirm.
Would this grieving mom be able to face her late husband’s mother and keep her composure?
In the end, Celeste kept her cool while also delivering some hard truths.
Where was Perry in Big Little Lies Season 2?
Going into the season finale, you may have been expecting a particular scene one that never came.
The actress said the showrunners gave her the all-clear to share the tidbit while on the show.
The audience lets out an “ooh” as we’re all left wondering what that could possibly mean.
Would the police be exhuming his body?
There was no gravesite visit and no missing body.
Woodley threw us off the trail, and, well, hats off to her.
AReddit user theorizedthat Corey and Perry were actually brothers.
This did end up playing a role inthe finale, but thankfully for Jane not in this way.
We domostlyfind out what happened to Raymond.
In a flashback, we see a younger Mary Louise exiting her car just after an accident.
In the scene, Perry’s younger brother sits motionless in his car seat.
We hear Mary Louise berate 5-year-old Perry, saying, “Look what you made me do!”
What happened with Detective Adrienne Quinlan’s investigation in Big Little Lies?
Inthe first season’s finale, Quinlan can be seen looking on at the Monterey Five through binoculars.
InEpisode 6, she even calls Corey in for questioning.
She also left Corey with a foreboding message.
“She said with five witnesses the odds are in her favor,” Corey tells Jane.
“One of you will finally crack.
But, despite all the buildup, the detective was notably absent duringBig Little Lies' ending.
But is that how it works?
Although Bonnie’s actions may have very well been justified, the other ladies' actions weren’t.
Big little lies,amirite?
It’s hard to know what will happen to Mary Louise.
At the end ofthe episode, we see her driving out of town.
“We only hinted about who Bonnie was.
The second season delved into Bonnie’s past and what exactly led up to her pushing Perry.
After her mother suffers a debilitating stroke, Bonnie reads aloud a letter she wrote to her.
In doing so, she confesses to her momwhat happened at Trivia Night.
“I resent you for killing a man,” she tells her (viaThe Atlantic).
“I killed Celeste’s husband.
He didn’t slip.
I snapped and when I lunged at him, I was pushing you.
And that push was a long time coming.”
Bonnie does eventually find peace with her mother, but only shortly before she passes.
What’s next for Big Little Lies' Bonnie?
What we didn’t know, however, was how she felt about her husband, Nathan.
But we learned that wasn’t all there was to it.
Throughout much of Season 2, it seemed like the lie about Perry’s death was eating Bonnie alive.
However, it’s likely that it was more a culmination of many, well, big little lies.
Although we don’t know what the future holds for Bonnie, the truth may just set her free.
What happened to the rest of Big Little Lies' Monterey Five?
The end oftheBig Little LiesSeason 2 finalegives us our final insight into the lives of our favorite women.
With Mary Louise out of the picture, Celeste can finally move on.
Did you notice her delete a video of Perry from her tablet?
We can’t help but think better things are ahead.
Things are looking up for Jane, too.
She and Corey are taking their relationship to the next level go Jane!
A very Renata ending, to be fair.
Madeline, on the other hand, was able to salvage her marriage.
She and Ed decided to renew their vows in a private ceremony on the beach.
This is more than just a song about the weather though.
TheBig Little Liessoundtrack is full ofEaster eggs.
Fromthe theme songtowhat Renata listens to in her car, the show has integrated music in creative ways.
“As footage rolls into the editing room, editors have a selection to choose from.
In some cases, early choices stick around for the long haul.”
In the Season 2 finale, the song appears to have foreshadowed the ending ofBig Little Lies.
“Someone told me long ago.
There’s a calm before the storm,” the song plays.
“I know it’s been comin' for some time.
When it’s over, so they say, it’ll rain a sunny day.”
The song continues to play as we see all five women enter the police station.
Instead, Ed and Madelinerenew their vows which was Ed’s own idea.
Still, the vow renewal happenedbeforeMadeline heads to the police station.
However, we do get to see another husband’s reaction: Nathan’s.
No, we’re not crying you’recrying.
Unfortunately, we never do get to see just what Bonnie wrote.
Earlier in the season, the women were adamant about maintaining their lie.
And that it was … that it had a shelf life.
I think you’re right.”
After Renata destroys her husband’s room o' toys, she tells him, “I’m done.
No more bulls***, no more lies.”
This was your son.”
“Big Little Liesis nothing if not timely.
Will there be a Big Little Lies Season 3?
Considering the way the ending ofBig Little Liesplayed out, fans were immediatelyjonesing for a third season.
“But we would not do it without all of the same people involved … even the kids.”
But fans shouldn’t get their hopes up.
At least not yet.
“But the reality is, they are some of the busiest actresses working in Hollywood.”
He’s not completely ruling out a third season though.
If everyone’s schedules aligned in a way that it would work, he said he’d be game.
However, he added, “I just think it’s not realistic.”
Guess we’ll just have to wait and see ifBig Little LiesSeason 3is in our future.
