This episode of The Byline features a story about the Nolan twins on the women’s basketball team, a discussion about the upcoming aldermanic election in the 49th Ward, a nearly 103-year-old house in Rogers Park and the recent uptick in attendance in Halas Recreation Center.
The finale leaves many characters’ stories unresolved — what exactly was the Roys’ childhood like? What happens to Kendall? Can we learn more about Stewy kissing guys on molly? This ambiguity matches the rest of the series, which prefers subtle hints and side comments to on-the-nose exposition or flashbacks.
