Jennie's portrayal of Dyanne exquisitely conveyed the heartbreak of the character as she grappled with the news, accompanied by suggestions that she should channel her experiences into writing her own music.

When the episode aired, netizens expressed a range of emotions toward the show's conclusion and the treatment of Dyanne's storyline.
Some found it difficult to comprehend how Dyanne's story had such a significant impact on Jocelyn, considering the substantial build-up of Jennie's character and narrative arc throughout the season.
To their disappointment, Jennie only had slightly over a minute of screen time in the final episode.
Meanwhile, others questioned why the writers chose to allow Jocelyn to forgive Tedros but not Dyanne, who appeared to be pursuing her own dreams. Frustration and anger were voiced as fans questioned the inconsistencies in the character development and expressed their dissatisfaction with the outcome of Dyanne's story.
