I love that last scene. It's the show's thesis - the girls enjoying themselves and having innocent fun while the parents have to worry about the reality of the Troubles that seemed to be without end. It's such a good juxtaposition, which shows how hard life must have been in Northern Ireland between the 1970s and the late 90s. With such an irregular conflict, it must have been so hard to decide whether to live in fear or live your life, and to make that decision for your children. I also love Erin's narcissism being so fully on show again - disregarding the sick girl because she sees an opportunity to be the editor, dismissing her friends with a gesture only to have to ask them to help, immediately assuming Claire must fancy her. As Sister Michael said, sometimes she is terrifying.
