'So hope for a great sea-change / On the far side of revenge.
Believe that further shore / Is reachable from here.
Believe in miracle / And cures and healing wells.'

In the finale of Lisa McGee's Derry Girls, we return to Derry one year later, as the gang prepare for their final year of school. It's the week of the Good Friday Agreement, but its timing couldn't be any worse, as Erin and Orla's joint 18th birthday party threatens to be overshadowed.
