Same here! I finally just deleted those two episodes I had saved on my DVR. I found myself almost dreading having to watch them, and it was like "Sarah, just delete them". I did watch the last episode on Monday though. I felt so bad for Eames! She didn't even give him any sort of explanation as to why she sent him home. She just sat there with him on the bench like a moron holding his hand acting uncomfortable. She annoys me.
