Spoiler alert: The following article discusses the Season 2 finale of “The Cleaning Lady.”
Having maneuvered through bureaucratic red tape, escaped near death at the hands of kingpins and wiggled out of immigration issues several times, Thony (Élodie Yung) finally finds herself in binds she can’t get out of at the end of “The Cleaning Lady” Season 2.
Her admirable, yet ultimately foolhardy, dedication to her son results in the death of FBI agent Garrett (Oliver Hudson) and deportation of sister-in-law Fiona (Martha Millan). The decision to leave Thony desperate and reaping the consequences of her rash and criminally amateur actions is one that co-showrunners and executive producers Melissa Carter and Miranda Kwok were keen to depict: As much as Thony believes she knows best, that she knows right from wrong, she can’t always get off scot-free.
