‘Big Little Lies’ Loose Ends: 6 Questions Left Unanswered in the Finale (Photos)

Madeline never told Ed she cheated on him.

In the second-to-last episode, Reese Witherspoon’s character came close to ‘fessing up about her affair with community play direct Joseph Bachman. But, alas, Ed’s big reaction scene may never come to pass. Plus, in the finale, there’s a scene with Joseph and Madeline fighting. Does Joesph still love Madeline? Tori obviously knows it’s her who he had the affair with, but the two never face off again.

We didn’t get to see enough of Jane and Tom.

Jane and coffee guy Tom (who, surprise, isn’t gay) have a crazy first date at trivia night, and we see Jane crying into his arms after the murder. But will the duo get together for real? Can Jane trust a man again? We might have to use our imaginations.

Amabella and Max are suddenly BFFS at the beach.

One of the biggest questions on the show–who was hurting Amabella?–was answered in the finale. It was Max, one of Celeste’s twin boys. The two kids are seen playing on the beach with all of the others as if nothing ever happened. Also, how did the teacher really never notice?

Madeline convinced Abigail to quit her “project,” but the parenting squad is still at odds.

Nathan still can’t shake his need to be better than Ed at Elvis impersonations, and Bonnie and Ed can’t shake their awkward run-ins (Ed accidentally spilled a drink on her dress). But Bonnie and Madeline seem to be friends now that they witnessed a murder together. Is Abby happy still living with Nathan and Bonnie, or does she miss living with Madeline and Ed?

But wait, was that Alexander Skarsgard’s real penis?

More of a fan curiosity than a plot hole, we still don’t know whether than was Alexander Skarsgard’s real penis in Episode 6: “Burning Love.”
