Notes

add »
After this episode aired, The WB got a lot of hate mail bashing their decision to cancel the show, and asking why they "gave such a dumb, unrevealing ending." (edit)
Amanda Bynes (Holly), Wesley Jonathan (Gary), and Jennie Garth (Val) are the only cast members to appear in every episode. In second place is Leslie Grossman (Lauren) who appeared in a total of 69 out of 86 episodes. These are the only 4 cast members to make an appearance in every season. (edit)
To many fans, this episode was a let-down. In the summary released weeks before the episode aired, it said two things that didn't happen:

1) Lauren finding a love solution.
2) A guest dropping dead at the wedding.

Many fans were disappointed in The WB for releasing this false information. (edit)
The series ends as the WB's least-watched series averaging 2.4 million viewers. This marks its second straight year with that title. (edit)

Quotes

Holly: (singing) Who's the best sister in the world? Holly-Holly-Holly. Who's gonna get her sister to the we-- (stops) Wait, wait, my shoe fell off! (edit)
(as Holly is dancing with her father)
Vince: (out of nowhere) May I cut in?
(Holly turns around to see Vince standing behind her)
Holly: You came back.
Mr. Tyler: Good to see you, Henry. (edit)
(last lines of the series)
Val: (to Holly) Looks like my bad-luck wedding streak is finally over.
Holly: I know, and it should last, as long as you don't keep bugging Vic with all your annoying questions.
Val: Oh, please, I do not have any...what do you mean by "annoying?"
(Val and Holly continue to bicker as their bickering overlaps each other)
Holly, Val: But I still love you. (edit)
Tina: (to Gary after he kisses her) Well it took you long enough! (edit)
Val: (muttering to herself in the woods) Never gonna be happy. Never gonna be happy. Never gonna be happy. I Hate Holly. Holly lost the horse, and ruined everything. I hate her. Holly's bad! (edit)

Trivia

add »
It's a bit of a stretch for Holly to have thanked her sister for taking her in four years ago "when no one else wanted her." It was clear that Holly's father very much wanted her to move with him to Japan in the pilot episode; she just wasn't prepared to make that kind of drastic change. Evidence was also given that Holly's grandmother would have taken her, but the main point was that living with Val was the best thing for Holly. That doesn't mean that nobody else wanted her, though. (edit)
The WB never flashed a note of thanks to the cast and crew of the series. This was done for the final episodes of Angel, Dawsons Creek, Felicity and even Grounded for Life (a series they bought from Fox). (edit)
It is revealed that Holly is 19 years old in this episode. (edit)
The last line of the series was by both Val and Holly. They both said "I still love you!" (edit)
One of the reasons for complaints about the ending was the Gary & Tina love angle. It was hinted at the end of second season, ignored during the third season, and aside from one episode never developed during the final season. In fact where was Tina's boyfriend when Gary kissed her? (edit)

Allusions

add »
Val refers to her horse as "Wildfire" as in the horse in ABC Family's drama Wildfire. (edit)
Star Wars

Vic mentions to Val: "Hey, did you notice? No Star Wars!" (edit)
