"It's official: Television's most toxic romance is over. The Tell Me Lies season-three finale aired Tuesday, February 17, marking the end of Stephen DeMarco's reign of terror over Baird College. And it really is the end this time, because as showrunner Meaghan Oppenheimer announced on Monday, Tell Me Lies is officially ending with season three. The series finale, "Are You Happy Now, That I'm on My Knees?," ends with Lucy (Grace Van Patten),"
"The culprit? Stephen, who decides that his supposed best friend's nuptials was the perfect occasion to announce that he hates Evan; Bree and Wrigley (Spencer House) are having an affair; and, most shocking of all, that Bree released Lucy's confession tape and ruined her life. Stephen then begs Lucy to leave with him, only to abandon her on the side of the road. Tell Me Lies ends with Lucy, realizing that she has been betrayed once again, laughing in disbelief."
Tell Me Lies concludes with season three as the final season. The series finale, "Are You Happy Now, That I'm on My Knees?", ends with Lucy, Stephen, and the Baird College community separating after a massive blowup at Bree and Evan's wedding. Stephen publicly declares he hates Evan, exposes Bree and Wrigley's affair, and reveals that Bree released Lucy's confession tape, devastating Lucy's life. Stephen begs Lucy to leave with him then abandons her on the roadside. The finale leaves Lucy betrayed and laughing in disbelief. The series is based on Carola Lovering's novel and functions as a cautionary tale rather than a revenge fantasy.
