'Anne with an E' Season 3 Episode 10 Review: Anne and Gilbert get their happily ever after, but Ka'Kwet deserves one too

The crowning moment of the episode is definitely Anne and Gilbert's kiss, but also equally important is Anne's discovery that she had two loving parents who adored each other and that she looks like her mother. 

Major spoilers for 'Anne with an E' Season 3 Episode 10 ahead

Being the finale of this beloved series, which has unfortunately been canceled by CBC, we had high hopes from Season 3 Episode 10, and to a large extent, these expectations were met. The episode, which began with Gilbert (Lucas Jade Zumann) breaking up with Winifred (Ashleigh Stewart), ended with Anne (Amybeth McNulty) and Gilbert professing their feelings for each other. For any 'Anne of Green Gables' fan, this is the perfect ending for this couple, if 'Anne with an E' were to end with Season 3. 

We experienced every emotion this episode: a warming of the heart when Gilbert wrote the letter for Anne, anger when Anne tore up the letter without reading the contents of it, heartbreak when Marilla's initial search to find Anne's family turned out to be fruitless, angst when Anne and Gilbert were running towards each other, and feeling content when they finally revealed their hearts desires. The crowning moment of the episode is definitely their kiss, but also equally important is Anne's discovery that she had two loving parents who adored each other and that she looks like her mother. 

While the Anne-Gilbert story is beautiful, and we would be okay with saying goodbye to them at this juncture it is heartbreaking if you think about Ka'kwet's (Kiawenti:io Tarbell) story. She is still trapped in her "school", staring out of the window at her parents who are camping close by. They do not have the resources to take her beloved daughter home and more importantly, they are ignorant of the fact that she is being tortured there, along with the rest of the Native children they have more or less abducted. 

One of our biggest contentions about the show getting canceled after Season 3 is that we will not find out what happens to Ka'kwet. Will her parents save her? Will Anne return when she finds out her friend is still being held a hostage? If for nothing else, 'Anne with an E' should be renewed for Season 4 for the sake of  Ka'kwet. 

Meanwhile, you can watch Season 3 of 'Anne with an E' right now on Netflix.
