It was a good ending, kind of a cliff hanger, but not really. We can assume that Catfish got back together with Claudette and they lived happily ever after, but we don't know that for an absolute fact, which leaves the option open for a sequel if the author ever so desires. Either way, it was a good place to cut it off because anything that happens after this would be a whole nother story.
I guess Gina wasn't such a bad girl after all. She was no more manipulative than the average female when her nesting instinct kicks in. Itch would have been her first choice, but she would have settled for Catfish if that had been her only option. I am reminded of a line from the old TV show "Everybody Loves Raymond". Debra tells Ray that she had been planning their wedding for 15 years. Ray says that she didn't even know him 15 years before they married. Debra tells Ray that he was the last piece of the puzzle.
Turns out that Ron was indeed the bad guy, but that doesn't explain why he was so kind to Catfish, except for the time he left him stranded at the Club 45, which could have been a genuine misunderstanding. Maybe Ron was just one of those people who feel the need to dominate everyone around them one way or another. By taking Catfish under his wing he hoped to establish a mentor-protégé relationship, insuring that Ron would always be the dominant partner. Either that or, as Uncle Ken maintains, there is some good in the worst people and some bad in the best people.
