In his ironic way, Barry finally proved that people can change

In his ironic way, Barry finally proved that people can change

While Sally, Barry, and Gene all had naked ambitions to make it big in showbiz, it was Sally who actually had something to say besides desiring the spotlight. This is not the case for Barry or Gene; the former viewed the film and television industry as just another thing he was good at as a scholar (and therefore deserved to succeed, according to his biased and selfish philosophy and/or religion), while the latter willingly stepped over anyone and everyone – including their own dignity – to get a crumb of glory.

Before Sally picks up John and leaves, Barry convinces himself that God must want him to escape and not take responsibility for his actions by turning himself in as Gene is wrongfully tried for the murder of Janice (Paula Newsome ). God, of course, works in mysterious ways: Searching for his family, Barry arrives at Gene’s house, where unbeknownst to him, the former drama teacher scours the internet and sees article after article with his name on for the worst possible reasons.

Gene’s slimy lawyer Tom (Fred Melamed) makes a startling plea for Barry to turn himself in, and Barry finally has his own pivot point, a moment of clarity in which he makes the decision to do just that. . As shown (and Hader himself) continually points out, however, Barry isn’t allowed to be a hero – Gene walks in and shoots Barry, point-blank range, becoming the murderer the Articles declared him to be.

As the cheesy biopic (titled “The Mask Collector”) that a teenage John later watches reveals, Barry Berkman was manipulated by criminal sociopath Gene Cousineau into committing murders and crimes he staunchly denied, is died after being shot by killer mastermind Gene (now serving life in prison) and is buried with full honors at Arlington National Cemetery – a hero’s burial. “Gene” and “Barry” are finally starring in a movie, and they’ve changed forever, if only in the public eye. In this way, change in “Barry” is like a force of nature: it happens no matter what, and people can either use its power or be decimated in its wake.
