You may be right. Gorgeous song. And now it's stuck I'm my head!

Where are the grandparents moving?

A somewhat smaller house, maybe in SF

It looks like a Victorian row house. The kind you see in SF. I'm going to miss that house! It was like a character in the show. I kept thinking one of the kids would buy it.

I know, I don't like that they sold that house. It was totally a character.

I hope it gets renewed, but I appreciate that they gave us a wrap-up episode in case it didn't. I mean, there were plenty of open questions left for another season, but everyone was implied to have happy endings.

I was disappointed in the episode. Not much happened. The Haddie part seemed out of left field. The move was featured but I don't think they did the house justice. The Braverman women were not part of the memory lane parts. I don't buy Hank and Sarah this time but I do like his character. Personally, I don't care for the Ryan plot line and I wish they'd give Amber something else to do..

It looks like Amber will be busy having a baby.

Agree that the timing on the pregnancy test seemed way off.
And I really like Sara and Hank but I'm not feeling it second time around.
Also never felt a strong connection between Kristina and Hattie (she and Adam are better together).
I was surprised the season ended without Joel at the table. If he wasn't there after that episode, then that actor's contract status must be unknown or a departure.

They had sex at the hospital, how did you miss that?

I was really sad that Joel wasn't at the dinner. If this ends up being the final episode, are we to conclude that they aren't getting back together after all?

I also felt that Haddie lesbian thing came out of left field.

Also, Ryan isn't stellar daddy material. Would be an interesting story line of Amber making the same mistakes as Sarah - having children and maybe getting married to a man with lots of baggage and a drinking problem.

No, I said it seemed pretty quick after that to be testing for pregnancy...the timing on this episode seems all kinds of warped.

Wasn't Haddie supposedly super in love with that black guy? Was that all forgotten?

Yes. And that seemed, at the time, so passionate. The only thing I can think of is that Haddie is (as the old saying goes) a "Four Year Dyke."

PS That young actor did awesome work in the indie movie Fruitvale Station. I think he has a big future.

But I remember when they finally had sex, toward the end of their story arc. She didn't seem all that happy afterward. At the time, I took it to mean that she still had some ambivalence about losing her virginity, or the sex, itself, wasn't that great (as it often isn't, the first time). So in retrospect, maybe it was affirming that she wasn't sexually interested in men. And she was very taken with that guy (can't remember his name). But it could have been that she was more taken with who he was (not middle class/ideal childhood) and his dedication to the soup kitchen where he worked. He really showed her a side of society that she had been pretty insulated from.

It seems like the timeline for the end was a little skewed.
