Contains spoilers for "Bupkis" Season 1
Peacock's "Bupkis" opens with a warning: There's truth in the eight loosely connected episodes of bad behavior by celebrity Pete Davidson, but parts have been fictionalized purely for dramatic purposes. We aren't meant to know the difference, and as a result, it all ends up feeling pretty real to us. As Pete attempts to conquer or possibly give in to his demons, his family — mother Amy (Edie Falco), grandfather Poppy (Joe Pesci), and sister Casey (Oona Roche) — try to save Pete while his friends and hangers-on attempt to endear themselves to him. It's a tale of celebrity debauchery and bad behavior, whether it's real or not.
In the final two episodes of "Bupkis," things take a turn. In the lightly touching Episode 7, Pete agrees to go to rehab after noisily crashing into his family member's (Brad Garrett) dog's funeral. In Episode 8, things go especially off the rails. Here's the ending of Peacock's "Bupkis," explained.
