What Happens to Issa on Insecure's Series Finale?

Issa has truly been through it all, but her character finally finds peace in the finale. "Everything Gonna Be, Okay?!" picks up with Nathan dropping Issa off back at her apartment right after his fight with Lawrence. While they sit in his car, he realises how messy their relationship has gotten and suggests it's time for them to break up. After everything she's been through with him, Issa doesn't seem to put up much of a fight and instead accepts their fate. She later runs into him at her birthday party at the beginning of the episode, where they hash out their differences and say goodbye one last time.

Though Lawrence still seems to be on her mind, she briefly pursues a new relationship. However, as they always do, the two make their way back to each other and get back together. Toward the end of the episode, they're seen together at Molly and Taurean's wedding. One of the final scenes shows Issa walking into their home (assuming this is the case) as Lawrence and his son, Elijah, finish decorating a birthday cake for her.

The episode doesn't explicitly share the current status of their relationship, but it seems to allude to the fact that Issa and Lawrence are engaged as she's wearing a ring. Issa subtly hints about being engaged when Molly jokes about how Taurean won't leave her side during their honeymoon. Issa asks, "Is that what I have to look forward to?" The two friends share a final laugh over the phone, recalling their old "broken pussy" joke from the very first episode of the show, just as the beat plays in the background.

As far as The Blocc goes, Issa has grown into her role as a boss and officially moved her company into a bigger office space. In addition to Sequoia (Courtney Taylor), Issa has expanded her team to hire more crew members. At the end, Issa hops into her Lexus and drives through her old neighbourhood as she looks back on how far she's come — with brief cameos from Thug Yoda (Tristen J. Winger), her old coworkers, and a nod to Lawrence's old Best Buy shirt.
