The Finale Of “Derry Girls” Caught Us Off Guard, But Luckily There’s A Special Episode Airing Tonight

The final episode of the third season of Derry Girls aired last night, and it was an emotional rollercoaster.

Channel 4

Fatboy Slim made an appearance, Aunt Sarah accidentally got engaged, James got fake beaten up, and Clare finally had her first kiss!!!

Channel 4

But minutes after the wee lesbian had her big moment, her life changed forever.

And even though we’re not quite at the end of our Derry Girls journey – there’s an hour-long special airing tonight – the season finale left us in an emotional wreck.

Fans were caught off guard, to say the least:

Jamie @castlepinkskull A small thing that I loved was the girls were so excited for Clare after her kiss that they didn't even care about the concert #derrygirls

Joanne O’ Riordan @JoanneOR_Ox Derry Girls really said that life is not a linier series of events. The worst parts of your life can and will co-exist with the best parts&amp;there is no telling if/when those will be. So you just have to try and make the best of every situation as it comes to you. They were right!
