Gave me a rollercoaster of emotions. I was rooting for Cleo and Frank to stay together but eventually realized it would only be destructive for both. I didn’t like Eleanor until she said it was out sisterhood that she suggested Frank visit Cleo in the end. 

And Cleo realizing Eleanor got the version of Frank she so wanted was like a stab to the heart because it was just never meant to be her. I’m happy she got out of New York and found her place, her footing in Rome where she can make art and heal.
