The series opened with soldiers, barricades, and tanks rolling through Derry, The Cranberries’ “Dreams” blaring in the background. While the final episode takes on a more serious tone, the gang isn’t afraid to add some necessary levity-like when Mary decides to split the cost of the party venue with a first communion to save money, much to Erin’s chagrin. The friends make up, and all is right in their small corner of Derry. And like the divergent factions across Northern Island, the ensuing argument between Erin and Michelle creates a rift until Clare sabotages Jenny’s party and shepherds all the guests to Erin and Orla’s birthday. This final episode, though, is one of the few times the conflict directly touches the characters’ lives. We know what they’re living through, but they readily diffuse any tension with humor-as you’d expect from anyone growing up in this environment. She brings up the provision of the agreement that would allow early release to paramilitary prisoners, and we learn how it might affect Michelle’s brother, who’s currently in jail.ĭerry Girls is mainly about a group of friends trying to lead normal lives in a tumultuous setting. The social predicament starts to simmer at the same time Erin feels the pressure of the impending vote on Derry’s future. At the same time, Erin and Orla plan a joint eighteenth birthday party that’s, not surprisingly, foiled by rival Jenny Joyce’s plans to host a far more extravagant celebration on the same night. In the final episode of Derry Girls season 3, all the characters wrestle with their votes in the 1998 Good Friday Agreement referendum. Much like the structure of Derry Girls through the first two seasons, the considerable political turmoil facing Northern Ireland serves as the reflective backdrop for the everyday struggles plaguing these precocious teenagers.
