comeuppance

In the climactic scene, Griffith’s Tess McGill convincingly demonstrates it was her idea all along while her boss gets her comeuppance.

But the longed-for comeuppance of the brutish earl is as much an attraction to the series as Ms. Peckham.

Highlights included Hot To Go, with its viral YMCA-style dance routine; and the snarky comeuppance anthem My Kink Is Karma, which Roan dedicated "to my ex who is in the crowd tonight".

It wasn’t just that the audience wanted catharsis, it was that they wanted to see Alex — the mentally ill, lonely, mistreated woman they saw as simply “crazy” — get her comeuppance.

The total lack of subtext makes the film frustrating to watch, even if we know Josh will get his comeuppance.
