I don’t think that the ratings are going to drop because of the last episode. I think the people complaining about the LGBT relationship, for the most part, don’t actually watch the show.
See, I always wonder how much the reception of the previous episode affects the ratings of the next episode. For example, if the previous episode was really good, you’re more likely to tune in to the next episode. Likewise if the promo for the next episode looks good, you’re more likely to tune in. However, if you get a bad episode and the promo for the next episode doesn’t look good, or you’ve had a couple of bad episodes in a row then you’re less inclined to tune in.
It could be completely irrelevant but I do wonder if the ratings of an episode reflect the reception of the previous episode.
