Nadia's little self-abduction has broken time, as is evident when Maxine's apartment building suddenly transforms into the old Yeshiva school it served as decades earlier.
This isn't just another fun jaunt through the past, though. Cue the laced cigarettes, weird birthday chicken, and Harry Nilsson's 'Gotta Get Up!' Let's break it all down.Īfter previously giving birth to herself (in her mother's body, of course) and stealing baby Nadia in an effort to give herself a better life, the finale starts off where the series began: at Maxine's birthday party for Nadia ( Natasha Lyonne). If you need help sifting through what's real, what's not, and what it all means, don't worry - EW has you covered, sweet birthday baby. It's just 30 minutes long, but the final episode of Russian Doll season 2 packs quite a metaphysical punch.
