The penultimate episode of Doctor Foster aired on BBC One on Tuesday night and we FINALLY saw evil Simon Foster get his comeuppance. Kinda.
In a tense AF show, which included some 007 level espionage and double-crossing on Gemma’s part, Simon’s new wife Kate finally saw him for the unfaithful, manipulative and downright nasty person he is and up and left him.
Har har har.
Sidenote: The Met Police really should consider employing scorned exes for some of their IRL takedowns.
However, despite losing his job, house, new wife and both his kids, Simon refused to give up and, in the final scene, marched off to find their son Tom in an attempt to ruin Gemma once and for all. Can’t you just give it a rest, Simon, mate?
The episode then came to a dramatic end as Gemma veered towards Simon in her car, and it looked as though she meant business.
BUT DID GEMMA ACTUALLY MOW DOWN SIMON?
Twitter, of course, had plenty to say about the cliff-hanger:
Some were thrilled to see Simon ‘get what he deserves’.
Others predicted the outcome of Gemma’s fast and furious moment.
Some fans were absolutely LIVING for the drama.
And there’s a theory going around that the final could see Gemma and Kate join forces to rid us all of horrid Simon once and for all.
YAAAAS.
It’s previously been hinted that Simon could meet a gruesome end in the series finale next week, as show writer Mike Bartlett revealed the show’s based on the story of the Greek tragedy Medea.
"In the original pitch, I never actually said, 'We're going to do Medea at 9pm on BBC One' because it probably wouldn't have gone down very well," he told the Radio Times.
"But that idea was always behind it. I wanted to take some of those misogynist ideas about mad women and witches, and hopefully subvert them."
The myth has been re-told over the years, with one version recounting the story of Medea teaming up with her son to kill her cheating husband and his new young wife.
