Watch Vicious (The Finale)

One year, one segment in each of the four seasons, is presented in the life of Freddie, Stuart and their friends. Spring. Freddie and Stuart are still in the flush of romantic newlywed love as husband and husband. They are also flush with money with Stuart having inherited his just deceased mother's estate, about which they don't want to tell their friends and with which they want to indulge themselves and only themselves. Violet and Ash could use their financial help as Violet's now ex-husband has absconded with all her money, and Ash is still having problems holding onto any job, all of those poor paying ones at that. But all these items usurp Mason's news about his open heart surgery about which no one seems to care. Summer. It's Freddie's birthday and he seems more interested in the card he received from the cast and crew of Downton Abbey (2010) than he is about the latest in the long line of Stuart's original and sentimental birthday gifts. Penelope makes an admission to Ash about an aspect of her life she thought was well hidden. And Violet makes a decision about her love life. Autumn. Ash has some bittersweet news about his life. The thought process in deciding what to do demonstrates how insecure he is as a person. Winter. It's the Christmas season and Freddie is preparing to star in a Christmas radio broadcast alongside Dame Eileen Atkins.
