The Season 2 finale of Netflix’s Nobody Wants This brought big emotional turns for all of its couples, particularly Noah (Adam Brody) and Joanne (Kristen Bell). The series, inspired by creator Erin Foster’s real-life romance, follows the unlikely love story of a “hot rabbi” and an agnostic sex podcaster navigating cultural and personal differences.

Joanne and Noah’s Relationship:
Throughout Season 2, the pair struggles with a central question: Can Noah move forward with Joanne without her converting to Judaism? In the finale, tensions peak during Joanne’s sister Morgan’s engagement party. After putting on a facade for the event, Noah confronts the reality of their situation and breaks up with Joanne, admitting, “I don’t wanna be the person who’s asking you to be someone different.”

However, in a classic rom-com twist, the ending redeems their love. After a near-miss elevator chase, Noah finds Joanne at Los Angeles’ Urban Lights and declares, “You are my soulmate. That’s it. I don’t care if you’re Jewish, I don’t care if you’re not Jewish. I choose you. Every time.” Joanne responds positively, hinting at her willingness to convert, and the season closes with a passionate kiss.

Morgan and Andy:
Morgan (Justine Lupe) grapples with doubts about her engagement to Dr. Andy (Arian Moayed), her former therapist. With Joanne’s support, she finds the courage to break off the engagement, admitting she rushed into it because of her sister’s relationship, leaving Andy heartbroken but proud.

Sasha and Esther:
Noah’s brother Sasha (Timothy Simons) and his wife Esther (Jackie Tohn) face strain in their marriage. While Sasha wants to rekindle their spark, Esther acknowledges that their relationship isn’t working for her at the moment. They part on uncertain terms, leaving the door open for future reconciliation.

Joanne’s Jewish Identity:
Though Joanne does not officially convert in the finale, her conversation with Esther helps her realize that she already embodies many Jewish traits and traditions. This moment sets the stage for her potential conversion and continued growth alongside Noah.

Bottom Line:
By the end of Season 2, Joanne and Noah’s relationship emerges stronger than ever, overcoming personal and cultural obstacles. The finale balances heartbreak with hope, leaving viewers excited for what’s next.
