This is EXCLUSIVELY regarding the end. It IS INDEED A SPOILER.
If the only thing you happened to see was the last scene you would draw the conclusion that there had been some long drawn out secret love affair/relationship; you would be wrong. It ended with a Susan Hayward smile after words that could not be taken back had been screamed in a room full of people. She made brutal accusations that were irretrievable. There was never (even) a friendship. Instead, it was a seemingly strained, not to mention weird, employee-employer relationship that suddenly changed for the better after two deaths in (perhaps) just as many days. One might infer that they rode off into the sunset and lived happily ever after. For most us, however, we would have found dinner that evening a bit awkward. If they had added another scene after that one it would have been Hayward imitating Rosanne Rosanna Danna, "never mind..." Someone else mentioned that a couple of extra scenes prior to the last one would have been better; I would second that.
