‘Pam & Tommy’ has been one of the most exhilarating TV shows in recent years and from the very first episode, we knew that it is un-missable TV. The first seven episodes told us how ugly the entire situation got regarding the sex tape of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee. They went through a lot of heartbreaks and humiliation after the tape got leaked. However, it was Pamela (Lilly James) who was brought down by the society dominated by men.

The finale episode of the Hulu series gave us the indication that there is no clear winner here and everyone will lose a lot of things while pursuing justice. The finale starts in 1996 and Motley Crue was getting to release their new album. However, things are not going their way because they are not the headliners at a televised MTV concert. On the other hand, Pamela Anderson is trying to audition for movies and fails to get anything. She is visibly pregnant and trying to create the perfect balance between her professional and personal life.

The couple was hoping that all the media frenzy revolving around the tape would die and it was, but suddenly the video becomes available online and things go bad to worse for the popular duo. The person behind streaming the sex tape online is young Seth Warshavsky, owner of the Internet Entertainment Group. Tommy was furious and wanted to sue him, but he came to the couple and asked them to sell the rights of the video to them.

The court has ruled that it is legal to broadcast the tape online, but Seth has an offer for the couple. He said that if they sell the rights to his company, he will take down all the illegal versions of the video from the internet. Pamela realizes that people would only be able to watch the video if they pay for it and that will reduce the audience. She was really tempted to sign, but Tommy was against it.

They take a vacation and without any guesses, it ends on a disastrous note. Pamela is really frustrated with all the chaos that follows the couple wherever Tommy goes and Tommy is angry with Pamela that she doesn’t talk to him.

Finally, the rights of the video are sold to Seth and Internet Entertainment Group. Tommy agrees to give the rights to Seth’s company. Meanwhile, the company also take hold of the original one from Rand for $10,000. Later, it is revealed that Seth sells the DVD rights to Vivid Entertainment for a whopping price of $5 million.

In the ending moments, we see Pamela giving birth to their first child. However, they are not the couple they used to be and the most amazing moment comes when we see the ‘Baywatch’ star having a new tattoo over the tattoo she got when she married the drummer. During the birth, it did feel as if they won’t leave each other, but Pamela decides to leave him and managed to get a divorce. She also got legal custody of their child.
