Podcast: Previously On with Jillian BonannePublished On: Sat Feb 21 2026
Description: In this episode of the Previously On TV podcast, Jillian is joined by her friend Kenny Marshall to recap and react to Tell Me Lies Season 3, Episode 8 "Are You Happy Now, That I'm on My Knees?" It's the last episode of TML ever and we are still not over how absolutely ICONIC (and unhinged) this ending was.We talk about why the finale being announced as the series finale basically sent everyone into a spiral, and how the show somehow managed to connect every single lie across seasons into one perfectly chaotic wedding night. From the very real “weddings are messy” conversation (Kenny has STORIES) to the question we cannot let go: how was that cake still uncut at 3AM?!We get into Stephen DeMarco’s toast turned roast (Jackson White… you ate), and why it was weirdly satisfying to watch the truth finally explode out of the most toxic person in the room. We break down the Top 5 Truths Revealed in the finale — including Pippa coming out to Wrigley, the Lucy/Evan bomb, the shocking Bree/Wrigley reveal, the truth about Yale, and the twist that made us gasp: who actually released the video. (And yes, we ask why no one asked Lucy Albright about looking like a hostage in the video… hello??)Then we dig into that ending: Lucy choosing Steven, the gas station moment, and why the scorpion and the frog theory still haunts us. Is she finally free? Is she laughing because she’s done? We debate the interpretations, but one thing is clear: Steven stings. Every. Time.Drop your thoughts on that ending in the comments! We want to hear from you.To wrap it all up, we rank the main Tell Me Lies characters from “bad” to “pure evil” — and I promise, this list gets CONTROVERSIAL. If you love messy TV, toxic friend groups, morally gray characters, and finales that leave you staring at the wall afterward… this one’s for you.00:00:00 Intro to pod00:01:58 Finale thoughts00:08:35 Top 5 Truths Told in Finale00:09:00 Pippa comes out00:11:23 Lucy and Evan hooked up00:20:45 Bree and Wrigley affair00:25:48 Stephen sent Diana photos to her dad00:32:29 Bree released video00:42:55 Lucy and Stephen ending00:49:08 Ranking characters bad to worst00:50:05 Diana00:51:32 Wrigley00:52:19 Pippa00:53:36 Lucy00:57:27 Bree00:57:47 Evan01:01:11 Marianne01:02:41 Stephen01:02:48 Oliver01:04:33 ToxicityFollow Kenny: https://www.instagram.com/voyageofatvwatcher/https://www.instagram.com/baird_andlies22/Thank you to Matt Buechele (@mattbooshell) for creating our new theme song.
