Nobody Wants This concludes with Joanne (Kristen Bell) asking her lover Noah (Adam Brody) a big romantic question, "So how does this work?" For the last few months, a sex-and-dating podcaster and a religious Rabbi have been trying to figure out how to reconcile their seemingly contradictory lifestyles and intense chemistry.

Commitment and uncertainity

In the season finale, Joanne informs Noah, who has dedicated his life to Judaism and recently received a job to become head rabbi at his synagogue, that she isn't ready to commit to conversion. However, will Joanne's hesitation ruin the deal?

It would appear not; after Joanne expresses her anxieties and the couple appears to part ways for good, Noah quickly rushes over to address her, demonstrating that he isn't prepared to give up just yet. Before sharing a passionate kiss, the two lock eyes in a knowing look. However, what does the future hold for them in relation to that kiss? Read on...

It appears to Brody that Noah is saying to Joanne, "I put you first," according to his reading of the ending, which he shares, adding, "Everything else will work itself out, but I'm saying that you are my priority."

Noah's perspective

The idea, while appealing in theory, proves to be challenging in reality. Will his feelings remain unchanged when confronted with daylight? Brody says that he is uncertain and doesn't know the answer. The actor believes that the show has the potential to explore this uncertainty regarding the series' potential continuation. "What should he do? What should she do? What version of sacrifice is worth it? What defines growth, and what does it mean to diminish yourself in order to be with someone else? It's a sacrifice, but ideally, you grow together, and you're better for it—you don't have to lob off a limb." Time will thus determine the outcome.

The season primarily focused on Joanne's attempts to win over Bina, Tovah Feldshuh's stern mother of her boyfriend. Being best friends with Noah's ex Rebecca (Emily Arlook) and Esther (Jackie Tohn), Noah's sister-in-law, is an even more difficult nut to crack. Joanne tries to soften their relationship, but Bina and Esther reaffirm their animosity and declare that they will not accept her into their family.

Esther's emotional journey

According to Tohn, Esther has spent the majority of the season accepting that she and her closest friend and brother-in-law would no longer be going on double dates. According to the actor, she is experiencing her own unique brand of sadness. They were fortunate to go on a vacation with their family.

The growing connection between Esther's husband Sasha (Timothy Simons) and Joanne's sister Morgan (Justine Lupe) is a source of tension for Esther. As their siblings grew closer, the two also grew closer. Lupe informs Tudum that, in a sense, they have lost their respective loves. Their best friends, their siblings, are helping each other grieve their daily companions.

Actually, Simons and Tohn made an effort to highlight the couple's affection for one another, so it's safe to say that Sasha and Esther are happily married. They talked a lot about how they wanted viewers to see genuine chemistry between Sasha and Esther, as their relationship is cordial. In addition to his deep connection with Morgan, another "loser sibling," Simons asserts that Esther is also confronting her unfortunate spouse directly. Simon adds, "Whatever bond they share as losers, it makes sense that it exists, even though it becomes increasingly strange between them." They are attempting to decipher the significance of that connection and its motivations.

Not only does Esther see the dissolution of her perfect quartet, but she also feels intimidated by the other lady, who obviously has a strong connection with her husband. According to Tohn, "Now it's like, 'Oh, these sisters have got to go.'" This means that her issues with Joanne are diminishing. Now that Joanne has entered their lives, is there a second one causing chaos? Even worse, their terrifying quartet—Nathan, Rebecca, Sasha, and Esther—is complete. Her spouse is being approached by this new girl's "garbage sister."
