The Last Episode by K. E. Adamus is a humorous and ironic take on silly marriage conflicts. The “love triangle” in this short story is between Mark, his wife Ilona, and their 42-inch TV. Mark, who is sometimes called Marek by others, is a relatively successful businessman who is looking to move up in the company he works for. Ilona is a washed-out, depressed, and unsuccessful writer. After taking a hiatus from the working world, Ilona was supposed to have worked hard on screen-writing. A few years in, and lots of television later, she had written two pages.

This story features Marek and Ilona, a married couple who, after five years of marriage, are beginning to notice a disconnect. Ilona has traded her smoking addiction for television, losing herself in endless binge‑watching. With aspirations of becoming a screenwriter, she claims her “research” is simply watching shows. However, this never translates into words on a page, and TV continues to consume her time. Marek has had enough. He points out her obsession, leading to frequent arguments. Ultimately, the question becomes: who will she choose, Marek or the TV?
