Our Take

A surprisingly warm season-ender that splits its time between goofy volleyball antics and the genuinely sweet reunion of Michael and Holly. The comedy lands in small doses, but the real payoff is the final scene, which lands quietly and hits harder than any joke could. Not the funniest hour, but one of the most satisfying. Worth it for the ending alone.
