In the season 2 finale of Mom titled "Fun Girl Stuff and Eternal Salvation," Bonnie and Christy are busy preparing for their upcoming trip to a women's spa weekend. However, their plans are derailed when Christy receives news that her estranged father, Alvin, has passed away. Christy initially brushes off the news, insisting that she has no interest in attending the funeral, but Bonnie encourages her to reconsider in order to have some closure with her father.
Meanwhile, the other ladies in the group - Marjorie, Wendy, and Jill - are excited to attend a women's retreat at a church, led by a charismatic pastor named Pastor Dowling. At first, the women are skeptical of the retreat and Pastor Dowling's teachings, but they soon find themselves caught up in the emotional and spiritual experience of the weekend.
As Christy attends her father's funeral and navigates her complicated feelings towards him, Bonnie tries to keep herself occupied by bonding with Adam's parents and helping them plan their upcoming wedding. However, she can't shake the nagging feeling that she's avoiding her own unresolved feelings about her mother's death.
Back at the women's retreat, the ladies are having their own struggles as they confront their personal demons and past traumas. Wendy opens up about her fear of intimacy, while Marjorie struggles with feelings of guilt and shame over her past as an addict. Jill, who has been largely absent from the episode up to this point, reveals that she lost her son to suicide and has been struggling with the grief ever since.
As the weekend comes to a close and the women prepare to leave the retreat, they are moved by Pastor Dowling's final message of hope and acceptance. Christy also comes to a realization about her father and her relationship with him, leading to a heartfelt moment of closure with Bonnie.
The episode ends with the women returning home, each feeling a sense of enlightenment and growth after their respective experiences. Christy resolves to continue working on her relationship with her father, while Bonnie vows to confront her own grief head-on and finally process her mother's death.
Overall, "Fun Girl Stuff and Eternal Salvation" is a poignant and emotional finale that explores themes of family, forgiveness, and self-acceptance. The episode is a fitting end to a strong second season, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what the show has in store for its characters in the future.
