So what do we want from the episode:

-I want a Deja and Malik wedding scene/image;
-Kate having literally any singular interaction with her daughter;
-Nicky's goodbye to Rebecca/Jack's acknowledgement (in heaven, where he's dead);
-Tess' goodbye to Rebecca;
-A montage of the Big Three as old people.

This was my post.

I liked the message of this episode but I really, really, really have an issue with the almost total erasure of Tess and Annie. And Randall being so happy to have a grand SON - puke. And Deja is sort of reduced to just being a vessel for Randall's grandson - also puke.

Sour ending for me.

I agree with the erasure of Tess and Annie being bizarre and wrong. But the idea of Randall having a grandson? Of *course* he’s thrilled! And would be if it was a girl, as well. I have two boys whom I dearly love - but was on cloud nine when we found out our last child was a girl. It’s wonderful to have boys AND girls and there was no sinister message there.

How did Deja already know she was having a BOY if she just found out she was pregnant like 3-7 days ago?????

Are we supposed to believe they put Rebecca's body on ice for a couple of months? Or they delayed the memorial service for several months after she died?

DID NOT MAKE SENSE THAT DEJA JUST FOUND OUT SHE WAS PREGNANT, and ALREADY KNOWS SHE's HAVING A BOY.

This is what I had hoped we'd see. I thought it would be Jack & Rebecca watching as the big 3 carried on with the traditions that were part of the show.

I just hate how it was so Randall focused as a finale.

+1

I also was hoping/expecting to see the threads of Jack/Rebecca's lives woven into the future lives of their children and grandchildren.

I'm so over Randall and his neurosis. There is NO WAY he has enough charisma to win over Iowans, I assure you that!

Me. He was the worst character IMO. grated me how they worshipped him.

He was kind of flat and dull, and their constant "babe"ing each other wore thin. In the end, I preferred Miguel.

100% yes!

I never understood why Jack was such a "saint." And physically and vocally, he's not my cup of tea. Miguel was there for Rebecca when she had no one else. I need more Miguel in my tv life.

Once his anxiety attacks are known, he could never be president.

Was he a saint or that’s just how they want to remember him?

I thought it was weird too but I also recognize it’s a tv show so I just let it slide.

That brief scene from years ago as William and Randall were leaving for Memphis really gutted me, with William worrying about his impact on his granddaughters when he has so very few years with them. That mirrored my own father’s worries, as he died when DD was only 7. But like William in the Pearson family, my father’s impact definitely lives on in the life of his granddaughter. I’m teary-eyed still!

And I laughed at my own 2022-focused reaction when Rebecca came upon Jack teaching the boys to shave. I honestly expected her to say, “Wait, let me take a picture!” which is what I would do now. But I guess they didn’t feel the need to record every single minute back in the early ‘90s, and they didn’t have cell phone cameras to do it with!

I didn't think it was the 90s when they were shaving. Were they even teenagers yet? Looked like the 80s to me but guess it doesn't matter

idk, I really liked this episode and it got to me more than the previous ones.

Maybe because we all knew Miguel was going to die first, we knew the season finale wasn't going to be Becca's death, etc. I liked those episodes but something about the realness of this one worked for me. Becca saying she was scared, Jack saying you aren't really leaving them.. it made me cry and this show hasn't made me cry for quite awhile.

Also, I don't care to see into the future. The story has been told. Let it go

I like Toby but I will never understand why some of you are so fixated on him. People break up all the time - and they can still be friends and joke and raise kids together. Divorce is so common it is more likely they would all divorce than get these happily ever afters. Their relationship was so unhealthy at the end it would've been horrible had they stayed together.

Last week when Toby JOKED about should we get back together y'all seemed to miss that was a joke.

We didn't really get to know Phillip but he seemed fine and at the end of the day it's a tv show.

Also whoever posted their "wishes" for the finale.. ugh.

Yes! I wanted to see Tess or Annie or a grandkid in the Pilgrim hat.

They were born in 1980 so that scene should have been 1994ish.

That’s only happened hundreds of thousands of times in real life over the past couple of years.

We all do. I find them in Korean dramas.

+1. Yeah, no 50 year old who has been married to the same person for decades and has grown children thinks like this.

Ugh, agree! I mean, Kate is on her second marriage and Kevin got married so late (and to someone who was practically a part of his family of origin anyway), but totally ridiculous that Randall would think of Jack, Rebecca, Kate, and Kevin first when someone says family. No. Way.

Just finished watching. I was expecting not to like it based off comments here but I really enjoyed this episode. It was a fitting end - focus on the simple things in life. Last week and this week's episodes were great way to end this show.

I have to wonder if you are really an actual "fan" of the show. If you were, you wouldn't call the main character "Becca." She was either called "Rebecca," (by the vast majority of people on the show) or occasionally she was called "Bec" by Jack. It's odd that you would call the main character "Becca."
