"Find A Way" is the eighth and final episode of Little Fires Everywhere. It premiered on Hulu on April 22, 2020.
Elena's bombshell reveal to Pearl threatens to forever damage Pearl's relationship with her mother. Moody feels betrayed when he discovers Trip and Pearl's secret. And the jury's divisive verdict triggers a series of catastrophic events, which leads three of our characters to leave Shaker Heights for good.
SPOILERS AHEAD
The episode opens with a flashback to July 1991, when the four Richardson children are setting up a lemonade stand. With no adult in sight, Lexie (played by Caitlin Reagan) is apparently the de facto guardian despite being a tween herself, because that’s how we rolled in the ’90s. She’s using her time wisely, bossing around her siblings and greeting customers.
While following her sister’s orders, Izzy (played by Cozy DesRoches) sees an injured bird in the bushes. By the time their mom gets back from the store, the bird is freaked out and flying around the house while the kids attempt to contain it. Elena says she’ll have to clean up the mess before Bill gets home and Lexie brownnoses that she’d love to help. A dejected Izzy still remains hopeful that now the bird can return to its family. Moody (played by Maverick Thompson) shoots her down by saying that mother birds reject their young after they have human contact.
Human contact is also cause for rejection at the Richardson home in 1997. Bill’s been sleeping on the couch because he’s still irked at Elena for confronting Mia about Pearl’s lineage and for leaving the family to investigate Mia’s backstory in the first place (especially since it included a pricey night out with an ex-boyfriend, a fact Bill found out through his own reporting). The two will eventually have a proper row this episode, where they focus on a marital spat that will probably be familiar to a lot of households: She believes she gave up a more prosperous career to have kids, telling him that “you have your freedom because I gave up mine.” He’ll remind her that the current issue of Mia — and how she came to destroy everything they know and cherish— is really Elena’s doing since she rented the duplex to the Warrens and hired her to work in their home. Oh, and yeah, he knows she saw Jamie both when she was in New York and when she disappeared for a night all those years ago.
Bill will not be at home when the house fires spark.
Both Bill and Elena are also taking out some aggression on Izzy. Bill gives her a speech that’s essentially his version of “It Gets Better,” telling his youngest child to keep her head down for the next three and a half years and then she can be whoever she wants. Elena is not so tactful. She bursts into Izzy’s room early one morning and screams at her for throwing away the tartan-patterned Keds she forced the girl to wear in the Christmas photo from the last episode. Izzy, knowing that her mother cut her out of this photo, responds that “that’s what we do in this house, right? Throw away the things we don’t like.” (This is a 180 to how Elena treats Lexie, telling that child to stay home from school if she’d like a day to be sad about her break-up with Brian and that one day she’ll meet a boy who is “a better fit for you.”)
