There were many funny twists in the final episode but the alienation of her daughter was not a twist. She alienated Catherine in almost every episode.
Blaming Gary felt forced - which is why they kept having to repeat "But we need a fall guy." Without that frequent observation, no one would have said "Hey, who is taking the fall for the Meyer fund" since that issue had long since been put to bed with the death of the ex-husband.
Thanks for mentioning that Selina was completely alone at the end. I am not sure you're interpreting that scene correctly. At least, that's not the way I interpreted it, thanks to the Trump administration. Consider that Trump burned everyone, cutting loose lawyers and advisors as easily as breathing. Yet, he had plenty more to replace them. Keep your standards low and there are plenty of terrible lawyers and advisors available. Selina had similarly low standards so why she was alone at the end struck me as a deliberate choice on her part rather than choices made by others.

Point taken. When I say she was alone, I mean that her core group of advisers that she had were not in her White House. All Presidents have an inner group that they rely on. Nixon had his California guys, Carter had his Georgia Mafia and Kennedy had his Boston crew. Neither Amy, Gary, Kent or Mike were there when she was elected President.
