A bittersweet goodbye.

Insecure is gearing up for its fifth and final season, and while everyone is sad to see the beloved HBO series go, we're grateful we get to spend a little more time with our favorite pair of BFFs, Issa (Issa Rae) and Molly (Yvonne Orji). 

Stopping by E! News' Nightly Pop on Tuesday, Oct. 12, Yvonne wasn't able to reveal where Issa and Molly's recently rocky relationship currently stands, but she did speculate about where she'd personally like them to end up, and whether that's with or without their former beaus. 

For host Nina Parker, she's rooting for "without." 

"I'm kind of over Lawrence, I'm gonna be honest," the NP co-host said, referring to Issa's on-again, off-again love interest played by Jay Ellis. "I think Issa needs to leave him alone."

Yvonne joked that Nina must be projecting, because "what did Lawrence do to you?" but as Nina explained, she simply thinks "a man comes in second to Molly and Issa's friendship."

Added Nina, "They are truly, to me, each other's best part."

"This is Yvonne talking, not Molly or Yvonne talking for Molly, I'm more like...while I appreciate that, I also want these Black women to come out with Black love," Yvonne added. "Or white love...I just want them to have love."

"I feel like you can have both," she continued. "We shouldn't have to choose. But you know, again, I didn't write it. So we gonna find out."

Issa, on the other hand, did write it (and co-create it!), so although Yvonne revealed she'd be down for "two more seasons and a movie," it's just not in the cards.
