Well, we’ve reached the end of our marathon. And like an athlete at the end of an actual marathon, we’re physically tired and emotionally spent. We just also happen to be drunk. As the Exes mention several times throughout the episode, Mildred Pierce (2011) does not have a happy ending. Despite all her efforts to please a persistently ungrateful Veda, Mildred ends up daughterless, penniless, and Bert-ful. It’s enough to make you wanna get stinko. Join us for Part Five, the gloomy yet gratifying conclusion, of our Mildred Pierce Marathon!
