This post contains spoilers for the second season of Big Little Lies.

It feels like we just got reunited with the Monterey Five on HBO’s Big Little Lies, and now the season has already come to an end with last night’s finale on HBO. The show’s return has been marked by divided reactions from fans—and some reported off- set drama about of who was in charge of the season’s overall vision.

But even if you weren’t so thrilled with season two, it was still a helluva a ride for the most part. Last night alone brought us another classic Renata (Laura Dern) moment when she destroyed Gordon’s (very expensive) model trains while screaming, “Maybe you should have shown a woman a little respect!” Madeline (Reese Witherspoon) went full Midsommar/Coachella for her vow renewal with Ed. And then there was that courtroom showdown between Celeste (Nicole Kidman) and Mary Louise (Meryl Streep). Oh, and Bonnie (Zoe Kravitz) decided to leave her husband and turn herself in—which led to the other woman, including Jane (Shailene Woodley), joining her at the police station in the episode’s final scene.

But the cross-examination scene, which revealed that Mary Louise had a car accident that killed Perry’s brother as well as a video that showed Perry abusing Celeste, was probably the night’s biggest moment. Fans reacted accordingly on social media, even drawing comparisons between Celeste and Witherspoon’s Elle Woods.

Laura Dern has also given us so much this season—including a lifetime’s worth of GIFs. “Nothing but respect for my president renata klein,” one fan tweeted.
