FX‘s Adults really are growing up, with two of them walking down the aisle in the season finale.

It all starts with the gang finally tackling their overflowing mailbox in Wednesday’s finale. Amid all the postcards from Samir’s parents and jailhouse letters from the stabber from Episode 3, Paul Baker gets a shock: His visa is expiring, and he has to leave the country. (He’s Canadian, eh.) It looks like he has to head north as soon as possible… unless he gets married! (“My aunt married three desperate Greek men,” Anton offers. “She’s like a human Mamma Mia.”) Paul Baker is hesitant, but Issa gets down on one knee and pops the question herself — and he says yes!

There’s one problem, though: Issa is already married… to Zack-Carlos, a “nightmare twink” who she married on a whim — and is still bitter for being ghosted by Issa and her friends. He refuses to sign off on the divorce unless the friends let him move in (so he can stop living with his mother). The friends all head to a club to celebrate, where Billie hits it off with an amorous couple looking for a threesome (played by The Good Place’s D’Arcy Carden and Search Party’s John Reynolds). But Issa refuses to tell Paul Baker she already has a husband: “He loves honesty. He’s obsessed with it. That’s why we have to lie.” And when a bartender flirts with Anton, it kinda seems like he’s more into… Paul Baker? Yep, we could see this getting messy.

The wedding day arrives, and Issa dons Samir’s mom’s wedding dress for the big day, while Samir and Anton talk Zack-Carlos into signing off on the divorce. (Plus, Billie’s threesome went south when the husband admitted he hates hooking up with other people. She went through it anyway.) But when it’s time to walk down the aisle, Issa starts having second thoughts. Billie walks down the aisle as the bride instead, in a bid to keep Paul Baker in the country — and Samir even offers to step in. (No, he’s not gay, but “I’ve seen it. I can get there.”) But then Zack-Carlos lets it spill that he just divorced Issa, and Paul Baker is devastated that she lied to him. They all want to marry him… so who actually did?

We find out when the gang gets home and Paul Baker cuddles up next to his new spouse — Anton! Their friends encourage them to kiss to seal the deal… and whoa, their kiss gets a little passionate, actually. They throw on a movie to change the subject, but we’re left thinking about what’s next for these crazy kids. We’ve gotten some hints that there might be some heat between Anton and Paul Baker. Could that make things really complicated for the gang next season? If there is a next season, that is: FX has yet to officially renew Adults for a second season. After an emotional cliffhanger like that, though, we’re definitely going to need some closure.

Adults fans, we want to hear from you: Are you ‘shipping Anton and Paul Baker? What do you want to see in Season 2? You’re always welcome to crash in the comments below. (Plus, grade the finale and the whole season in our polls.)

Houston Texans star Azeez Al-Shaair has admitted regrets over his illegal hit to Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the ensuing brawl between the teams in a lengthy statement on social media.  

Al-Shaair’s statement comes as his three-game suspension as a result of the incident has ended and he is slated to return to the field for the Texans on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

On December 1, an Al-Shaair hit to the head of a sliding and defenseless Lawrence caused chaos in Jacksonville. The defensive back needed to be restrained by several coaches and Lawrence has not played since taking the barbaric contact.

‘While so many jumped at the first opportunity to hop on the false narrative – that l’m a dirty player or bad person – the messages from all who stood by me were the only things keeping me mentally afloat during a time of isolation,’ Al-Shaair said on social media.

‘I’ve learned so much from this entire experience. Seeing myself on video – letting my emotions get the best of me to the point where I completely lost it – was an embarrassing and eye-opening moment for me.’

‘I’ve had to earn everything in my life. I never want to allow anyone to get me to a point where I jeopardize everything that I’ve worked all my life to obtain. That was not the way I want to represent myself or my family and I will continue to learn and grow from that moment.’

The Texans defensive back was suspended for three games as a result of the hit to Lawrence

Al-Shaair said during his three-game ban, he met with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and other league executives for the first time, taking issue with how he was characterized in the official announcement of his suspension.

The defender said he thought his character and integrity were ‘unjustifiably smeared’ in the release but the meeting with Goodell and others was ‘productive’ and gave him hope it would not happen again.

‘In that conversation – man-to-man – I owned and acknowledged that my actions following my ejection were careless and, in that moment, I didn’t think about the responsibility I have been blessed with to represent the shield,’ Al-Shaair continued.

‘I also stated that the letter, and specifically the language used in the letter, was equally as careless and conveyed that the context of the words used were not a reflection of my character, nor my career, as I have not been warned multiple times for my play on the field.’

Al-Shaair’s hit on Lawrence was not the only controversial incident he was involved in this season.

During the Texans’ game against the Bears in September, he punched Roschon Johnson, who wasn’t even in the game at the time of another sideline confrontation.

Al-Shaair ended his statement by saying his view is that everyone in the league office and on the field are on the same team to represent the NFL in the best nature possible, something he failed to do earlier this month.

‘Lastly, I’ll say that this world is full of negative people who can’t wait to tear you down, but if you move with love and compassion, the seeds of good you planted in others’ lives can grow into the very tree that shades you with comfort and compassion when you need it most,’ Al-Shaair concluded.

‘I am a man of God, I am a leader, a warrior and a lover. I am also a hell of a football player and I’m grateful to be back doing what I love.’
