## Resource

Welcome to the six and final episode of this six-part series covering the music of Heated Rivalry, where we break down the score and soundtrack choices for each episode of the show. This week, we are talking about the incredibly stripped-back finale episode titled "The Cottage," where there is a noticeable absence of score and soundtrack. It feels very simplified, which is in contrast to most finales where things become bigger, like the scores, or the editing, or maybe some heightened visuals and emotional beats. Here, it was a choice to really narrow the focus in on Shane and Ilya, and a few key song selections that help shape this important episode. Let's talk!
