season finale
10 June 2006 | by (Canada) – See all my reviews

This episode is by far the best season finale of any show this season. The episode is so tragic and beautiful, everything is absolutely perfect in this episode and although everyone has major roles in this episode the story and drama center around Denny and Izzie. This is one that no one should miss. If you haven't ever watched the show you should because it is the best show on television and this episode proves it. The music adds so much to the show and the official website is awesome because it has a list of all the songs used for every episode. All the main characters are so interesting and real; As a viewer you like them all despite their flaws and personality issues. Anyone who watches a few episodes of this show will love it.
