shipperxSo...um... am I correct in assuming that was quite probably the series finale? Basically, everyone's story was wrapped up. Everyone got happy endings. The End, right? I mean, I guess we could see a season with Erica as Doctor, but aren't we really supposed to simply assume the rest? (Especially having seen Future Erica in an earlier episode).
The only thing that really interested me was Leo's Limbo (not spoiling much, really, as Leo has been dead for the entire series.) But I was surprised to see him pop up in the finale and it not be flashback Leo. Apparentlyhe's been in the hall of doors ever since he died. Like Erica he can step back into any moment in his life and re-live it... and that's what he's been doing all these years. Going through all of those doors... except the one at the end of the hall and 'whatever comes next'.
I kind of liked Dr. Nadia explaining to Erica that Leo wasn't 'trapped.' Not really. He can go through that door any time he wants... when he's ready. So he sits re-living his life until he's actually ready to move on from it. (Which of course he does at the end as the whole point was all the characters moving on with their lives).Anyway, I thought the limbo thing was an interesting the touch. Everything else was pretty much as expectedincluding that Erica's 'patient' is Dr. Thom's daughter (that's correct, right? I could've gone back and checked, but I basically assumed.) I thought that was another (but basically expected) nice touch. Erica (we assume) returns Dr. Thom's daughter to him.
