Warning: This post contains spoilers from the sixth episode of season 2 of Max’sAnd Just Like That…

And Just Like That…’s Miranda and Che may be over for good, but it’s a decisionSara Ramírezbelieves is for the best.

“They’re left with a grounded, almost unrecognizable version of themselves that steps forward and says ‘Listen, the wheels are falling off this car. This isn’t working,” Ramírez added. “I think it takes a lot of integrity to admit that to someone, whether they agree with you or not. But Miranda also has the awareness to acknowledge that it’s not working. So it’s sad, but it’s relatable. A lot of people go through that.”

“That’s what I think is really beautiful about that second half of their journey,” they explained. “They go back to a previous job working with a friend where they still have to deal with real-life stuff, but they discover a new connection with someone.”

“They’re just trying to find their way back to who they really are. Does that include comedy? Does that include love?” theGrey’s Anatomyalum continued. “That’s the big question mark at the end.”

During thefirst season ofAnd Just Like That…,some viewers criticizedthe character of Che and their standup material,woke commentary and role in breaking up Miranda and her husband Steve (David Eigenberg). But it’s Ramírez’s hope that people will continue to embrace Che’s “humanity.”

“It’s important we remember that LGBTQIA+ people don’t have to be perfect, just like the women don’t have to be perfect,” they said. “We get to be imperfect, we get to be unlikable, and you still get to root for our humanity.”
