We wouldnt be surprised if you feel older after watching the season 5 finale of TV LandsYounger.
Its all the idea that her lie has unseen consequences that hit her in unexpected ways.
Thats the thing about a lie; it has this ripple effect.

It started very innocently, and it just takes on greater weight as the series goes on.
I think we really conceived of this season thinking about the #MeToo movement.
Its just in and of itself a tricky situation.
HILARY DUFF:I like that the lie can end.
I think we have enough going on and enough depth to the show that that doesnt matter anymore.
I love the way Charles found out.
That relationship has always been based in a bit of fantasy for both of them.
How much of Charles identity is tied to being a publisher?
He gets to preserve his company, but I dont think its game over for him there completely.
With Charles no longer the face of the company, Kelsey is confronted with a massive promotion.
Is she ready for it?STAR:I think thats a big question.
Shes very young and sometimes peoples ambition can get in front of their maturity.
DUFF:I think shes going to rise to the challenge and be able to take it on.
Whats great about Kelsey is that she always feels like its going to be okay.
Shes very optimistic and feels like theres a way to solve everything.
Im really curious to see where it goes.
I dont know right now.
I dont know how important it is for Diana to know.
I think its important for her sanity to be preserved for the moment.
Every show has to evolve.
The story and characters naturally keep pulling you in interesting, challenging directions.
This is also a show about women at work.
Lizas initially doing this to be relevant and get a job.
That just ends up exceeding beyond her wildest dreams.
I have no idea how Diana would respond.
Part of me thinks shes just not even going to hear her, or just be fine with it.
So it seems like were fully committing to Team Charles at this point.
Is all hope lost for Team Josh fans?STAR:I dont think so.
I feel like Liza and Josh (Nico Tortorella) have this sort of incredible connection.
But I also think that Josh has matured a lot over this season.
I really didnt see it coming.STAR:Good.
I love surprises in shows.
I like watching shows and just seeing the unexpected.
Clare certainly wasnt dead; she was just off screen for a long time.
Ive also really loved seeing Josh and Maggies friendship evolve this season.
I like the chemistry between them too.
But my absolute favorite relationship is Diana and Enzo (Chris Tardio).
hey tell me they have staying power?STAR:I love them too.
Theyre really fun together.
Theyre really fun to write.
I love their chemistry.
I love what he does for Diana and what she does for him.
Theyre just this odd couple that really works.
Its fun to discover.
Not sticking around to work for his peer thats a girl?
Im like, Youre weak sauce, dude.
But he didnt really take her seriously in the beginning, so its good that she moves on.
TheCabaretnumber was just completely for fun and it was fun to see that side of Diana.
I can watch that over and over again.
Hilary, would you want to do some singing next season?DUFF:I would love to.
I dont know if Kelsey would be a good singer or not.
Darren always says Kelsey and Liza dont sing.
Hes like, Theyre not like you guys to Sutton and me.
I think it would be fun.
I think like a drunken party scene or…You know what I would love to see next season?
You know how companies do retreats all together?
Do you have a favorite episode or scene from this season as a whole?
I was also pregnant so that was probably helping me out.
STAR:I have so many favorites.
She steps up to the plate and its so nice to see.
