Eastbound and down where is april

Eastbound ends with Kenny sacrificing his own dreams to reconcile with his family, while crafting a late-in-life story that largely writes his family out of the picture. I liked this episode. The previous episode, which I will write about soon sorry guys , was maybe the best the show has ever been.

Eastbound and Kenny Powers deserves a depressing ending, though. Watching this last night I remember checking the clock and realizing there were still ten minutes left in the show, and thank fking God there were, because the next sequence had me howling with laughter while trying to hold back what I can absolutely assure you were not tears, they just looked like them, okay?

Fade to black. We then find that this is just what Kenny wrote to end his screenplay. He looks at the computer, places a baseball on the desk, and leaves the room with April. Presumably, that's the end of the show, and an incredibly befitting one at that. What truly matters is that a man takes control of his shit, that he sticks by his guns, and that he fights for what he believes in, even if what Kenny ultimately believed in was himself.

Both shows, really, were about family, and it was good to see Kenny make the right decision at the very end. In the final montage, before we are made to realize that Kenny's African funeral has all been a construct of his own mind, for him to one last time write his own story for us to be something more fantastical and magical than the crabby baseball pitcher he's been all along, Kenny delivers possibly the best monologue of the series.

It's a fitting few lines for a show whose heart was matched only by its balls, and I'm closing the article with it for posterity. Yes, posterity. Kenny goddam deserves it. And with knowledge comes wisdom. He gets her wasted on a party cruise and shows her all that Myrtle Beach has to offer, including a "gorgeous sunset that is totally rocking my nuts off.

And when the mother of the family insults April's parenting skills, she goes off and attacks her. Kenny and April spend the rest of the night getting high and enjoying each other's crazy company.

They return home to their baby and Kenny opens up, telling April he's been lost without her. After a night of passion, Kenny wakes up to an empty home.
