yesterday i said in a previous post i didn’t necessarily dislike the finale and that’s still somehow true, but after having slept on all of this i want to add:
the finale only works if you don't ask yourself any questions
let's imagine ben wants to share the whole thing with grace - the poor woman wouldn't believe a word. she (rightfully!) struggled to understand callings in season one, and only accepted what they were when she saw they were affecting cal as well. now cal has no memories. even if grace believes ben - is she going to understand him?
when watching season one i was sure the show was going to break ben and grace up. their conflict was SO REAL, so raw. grace couldn't fully comprehend what ben had gone through, and he couldn't accept she had moved on from him with danny during those 5 and a half years. i never fully believed them reconciling, although i had no particular problems with them doing so
now let's pretend for a moment ben tells grace everything and she believes him. would he tell her as well he slept with saanvi? something tells me no, and starting over your marriage with a lie doesn't look like a great beginning
also - it's not like saanvi is going to disappear from ben's life. she is going to cure cal, the stones are likely to see her every day. would grace (and alex, i guess) not pick up on the fact that ben and saanvi know each other, trust each other, have a very strong bond?
something tells me ben and grace's marriage wouldn't actually last. which doesn't mean they don't love each other, but they are just different people
i'm not even going to comment on saanvi and alex's relationship, since the only thing we know about them is that alex bailed on saanvi because she didn't want to leave her husband. once again, not a great start
(also, just for the lolz: imagine saanvi being pregnant in the reset after the hook up with ben a couple of days prior)
