'P-Valley' Episode 7 has fans hyped and guessing about finale but sad Season 1 ends after just 8 episodes

As 'P-Valley' hurtles to its explosive season 1 finale next week, fans were sad that they will soon have to bid goodbye to a show that lit up their summer. "P-Valley was exquisite tonight. I’m gonna be low key sad next week for the finale. #PValley," commented one user, about the episode that had some magical moments between Uncle Clifford and Lil' Murda, Diamond and Keyshawn and Autumn's last dance for Andre that had him so revved up that he has rough sex with his wife to stop her from asking uncomfortable questions.

Patrick-Ian Polk, the producer on the show, who wrote Episode 7, dished on his favorite scene after a user quoted Uncle Clifford's lines verbatim from the show. "Yessssss, DIALOGUE! The Uncle Clifford & Lil Murda river scene was my favorite to write. Nobody lurves a romantical gesture more than me. And Murda got it baaaaaaad for UC [Uncle Clifford]."

Going into it, showrunner Katori Hall explained why Woddy, Lil' Murda's manager, wanted him to keep his relationship with Uncle Clifford under wraps for his career in hip-hop that was just about to take off after 'Fallin' struck a chord with the crowd at Pynk.

Users were hoping to find a resolution to the key ships in the show and wanted more episodes because one more episode wasn't going to cut it. "it’s something about the season finale of P-Valley being this sunday that just don’t sit right with me! i need about 10 more episodes," said one tweet, right after Episode 7 aired.

The finale next week has users speculating about what was in store for key characters in the show and also the Pynk, especially since this will determine what viewers can expect in the already green-lit season 2. One long tweet pointed out three predictions, saying: "my p-valley finale predictions: lil murda breaks uncle cliffords heart for the sake of his career; diamond kills keyshawns baby daddy; corbin buys the pynk OR the ladies make so much money from the night and they put their funds together to buy it themselves."

lil murda breaks uncle cliffords heart for the sake of his career
diamond kills keyshawns baby daddy
corbin buys the pynk OR the ladies make so much money from the night and they put their funds together to buy it themselves.
The tweet shows the optimistic endings everyone is hoping for. The same user also tweeted her prediction for the Pynk's "OG" saying: "mercedes comes to autumn’s rescue but doesn’t kill homeboy, I think they introduced him too late to kill him already. I think he’ll be a villain next season"

One interesting nugget revealed about next week's episode is that Lil' Murda will catch the eye of Rome, a music exec, who was a former drug dealer. A tweet handle associated with the main P-Valley show's twitter account revealed: "Blue Kimble plays Rome, he's a Southern hustler and former drug dealer turned music exec. #PValley"

While predictions differed, most tweets were united about the fact that the episode 8 finale was going to be "lit" -- after all, the preview aired at the end of episode 7 did show some major violence with Montavius choking Hailey, Mercedes swinging at someone, possibly Montavius, to save Autumn and Keyshawn pointing a gun at someone. The chances of someone being killed are pretty high as one tweet commented: "Whew! Just got finished watching P-Valley Episode 7 It’s was so DAMN GOOOD. Next Stop Season Finale because things are about to go down at the Pynk and yeah it’s about to be some murda night for sure."
Whew! 🥵😪

Just got finished watching P-Valley Episode 7 It’s was so DAMN GOOOD.🙌🏽💖
Next Stop Season Finale because things are about to go down at the Pynk and yeah it’s about to be some murda night for sure. #PValleyStarz #PValley
Episode 8 will take off right after the Episode 7 cliffhanger that saw Autumn alone with Montavius who asks her chillingly where his money is, while taunting her for not succeeding in shooting him dead, like she thought she had.
'P-Valley' finale airs on Sunday, September 6 at 8 PM ET on Starz.
