    Something Happened and This is the Beginning of the End
    This is a major break with the flow of the show. A complete break and the writers knew at this point that the show was coming to an end.

    I think that Joel's quest was going to come to the same end, but it was rushed along to the dismay of this fan.

    Very sad that it came to this end. 1/10, wouldn't watch again.
