Going into Affirmation we are uncertain of McKayla and Matt's relationship. Ever since Matt's ex-wife showed up unexpectedly Matt has been doing everything to sabotage his relationship with Mac. Why? Why would you screw with something so good, Matt? Mac has become aware of this but is unsure what to do with the relationship. I totally get this. She's gotten so much more than she thought she would with her relationship with Matt but can she make him see how good they are together? How good they can continue to be together?I'm not really sure how I feel with this ending. Well, that's not quite true, I do like the end, but just how the two get there. Throughout the entire series there's always been this theme with Matt not wanting to commit because of how his wife treated him. I understand this completely. It's hard to put yourself out there again when your heart has been devastated. But Mac is not his ex and will never be his ex. It's just been so frustrating with the whole “will they, won't they” of their relationship. But then they actually get together and then it just gets screwed with. Too much for my heart to deal with.Mac makes many decisions and I really enjoyed how she was able to bring her life together in a way that she wanted. I may be a bit envious actually. She's such a go-getter that nothing could actually hold her back, not herself, not Matt, nothing. She's always been a strong character and nothing that she's been put through has changed that.I'm really happy how everything turned out in Affirmation. Sawyer Bennett created two amazing characters, one strong, the other flawed but when they come together, they just fit. It's been a crazy ride with all the ups and downs but I really don't think Legal Affairs would be what it is without them.
