At the end of the penultimate episode ofMr.
& Mrs. Smith, the title characters break up.
But this ending has also been coming for a while.
John and Jane have never really had a sustained periodwithoutconflict.
By the time the breakup does happen, it feels like an inevitability.
One day, while John is out, Jane visits Bev (Michaela Coel!
), a woman her husband has been seeing since he met her at a bar a month ago.
Holding a gun to her, Jane demands the truth about what the two of them get up to.
Bev explains that they just talk, drink, smoke, and watch movies together.
Theyve never had sex, but John is clearly gettingsomethingfrom Bev he doesnt have at home.
Hes already told her about what he does for work, and hes told her all about Jane.
Of course, the truth about John and Bevs relationship is a lot more complicated than it initially appears.
At the subway station, though, they make rookie mistake No.
2: falling for the old hop onto a train, then off, then back on trick.
They lose her again.
Now, I have a lot of questions about this.
Did she open up at all about her own agency when he opened up about his?
What was her plan?
Besides, its definitely not just about Johns professional process.
He freely admits that the attention from Bev felt good, even if he knew she was playing him.
All that trouble, and for what?
That means three failed missions.
But Hihi also messaged John privately, letting him know that Jane was there.
John is ready for this all to be over.
Everything will be easier for both the company and the two of them if he moves out.
Thats an exciting place to be.
Glad to see Sarah Paulsons influence linger.
One of my minor lingering quibbles is that Jane really isntthatgood of a spy, is she?
