There was no farewell episode. An amicable split would look very different. We'd have a goodbye episode filled with virgil's best clips, brie & virgil would be on as guests pitching their show, etc. Instead there's just a soulless press release? Something happened!

Someone mentioned a reason on twitter, but deleted it after 30 minutes as it was potentially embarrassing:

The best explanation I've found is this one form reddit :

I think he had a falling out with Will, to be honest. When he "returned," he thanked Will for having him on, which was weird, and at some point he made a weird joke about Will when he wasn't there. Will cracked a joke about, "not being allowed to get mad" at Virgil. Anyway... really weird shit. I definitely don't believe the whole, "it was amicable," angle. Something happened.

Anyone here have any info?

    It wasn't just about Bernie though, I think they felt they were on the cusp of an apotheosis of the dirtbag left brand as the Chapos and their tour were also receiving a ton of coverage. They were probably already picturing themselves locking away Neera Tanden in an oubliette

    Don't get me wrong, I understand why they felt that way and would've loved to see those guillotines being erected in Central Park, but as the Finnish proverb goes, "great joy is bound to end in sorrow, and laughing too long is bound to end in a fart"
