(S02E22) OK, folks... those of you who skipped reading my interview with Carter Bays because you were afraid you were going to accidentally read one of the spoilers he dropped for this episode, you can now go back and read the whole thing.

Anyway, things turned out kind of like we all expected, didn't they? Not to give anything away before the jump, but the signs that the show was heading in this direction were all there for us to see. But it was the execution of that conclusion that made this a very satisfying finale that, hopefully, will be the introduction for a very interesting third season.
