Christina Applegate (‘Dead to Me’): Emmys 2023 episode submission revealed

Gold Derby can exclusively reveal that Christina Applegate is entering the “Dead to Me” episode “We’ve Reached the End” as her 2023 Emmy Award submission for Best Comedy Actress. The episode aired on November 17 and is the series finale of the Netflix comedy.

In his installment, Jen (Applegate) and Judy (Linda Cardellini) make their way to Mexico, where the latter plans to stay until she dies from cancer. After Jen accepts her decision, she awakes the next morning to find a goodbye note from Judy, who has disappeared. Jen returns home with the Mustang that had killed her husband and gives birth to her and Ben’s (James Marsden) daughter, Joey. Later, Ben, still under the impression that the Greek mafia killed his twin Steve, tells Jen that he’s at peace with his brother’s death. “I have to tell you something,” Jen says as the show cuts to black.
