When Oscar wakes up from his accident in the ballroom, hes a little out of sorts.
Its the most visibly emotional that weve seen them behave around one another.
Eventually, Oscar asks June for a divorce, and they raise their hands to make it so.
Once theyve made it official, Oscar says, Good-bye forever.
And then he claims hell head back to Riverhead where people are nice.
When Kase decides to head home for the evening, June decides to stay at the party.
Turns out, he hasnt left Oceanside after all.
But his (ex-)wife wasnt supposed to see him.
And its then that Oscar tells June that hetriedto leave, but couldnt.
When they dont make any progress convincing him otherwise, the pair decide to leave.
They head to the beach, where Oscars been shacking up.
Hes got a pile of rags in the sand, and, like, three logs.
June says, Its not bad.
They talk a bit about the sandiness, and the ham, and their brunch situation.
In the end, the (former) couple argues with the slab of meat between them.
Its pretty fucking strange.
Theyre both pretty fucking strange.
But and this is the thing about virtually any sustainable relationship they are exactly strange enough for each other.
The mood is spoiled by Kase.
With the last tool hed been looking for, Oscar finally completes his raft.
It isnt the best boat anyones ever seen, alive or dead.
But it looks like it might work, maybe.
She tells Oscar that she used him as an excuse.
June tells Oscar that he wasnt the problem, becauseshewas, and then she apologizes for that.
But Oscar adds that heknewJune wasnt happy, at times.
And he wasnt happy either.
He says that he made everything worse, and he pushed her away.
Oscar quips that its too bad it didnt happen when they were alive.
That night, when June meets Kase before The Cleansing, she doesnt lie about where she was.
The Cleansing happens, and Kase and June realize that theyre starting to forget their memories.
June tells him that she loves him.
Oscar tells her that he loves her.
This is, of course, the only wayForevercouldve ended.
There wasnt really a point where it looked like June and Oscar wouldnt reconcile.
Having seen what weve seen, that just wouldnt make sense.
So June asks Oscar if he trusts her, and he does.
They walk into the water.
They cross the sea, hand in hand.
And when the couple emerges, theyre on another shore.
We dont see where, exactly, but that isnt the point.
The point is that that they made it.
