We can get through anything if we have people to lean on, Paul says.

But Julie knows he should be with people, so she takes him to Gabys dinner against his will.

And before long, hes looking around and reflecting on what these weirdos mean to him.

Maybe Derek is right: She loves raising kids, so why resist that?

Maybe this is what shes made for.

It goes back to that idea of leaning on your community when you need it.

And that everyone else also includes Derrick.

Last week, I didnt totally understand where Gaby was coming from in pushing her boyfriend away.

Its scary to experience something, well, healthy and balanced.

Gaby does call Derrick and own up to her self-sabotage, but hes still hurt.

Who could say no to Jessica Williams?

And then theres Jimmy and Alice, the true heart of the show.

Real love is when you accept someone, limitations and all, Sean says.

Like a few quotes in this finale, its a cliche, but it works in context.

This version of Alice isnt vindictive, though, even if her ruined another birthday line was harsh.

That one gesture let Alice know that the dad she knew was still in there.

Its about healing part of himself, as Jimmy tells Louis at the train station.

Hes the one who needs to heal, just as much as Louis does.

Maybe theres no path forward for either of them without each other.

What a shitty couple of years, huh?

But now hes here, ready to talk, and that means the world.

Lets hope they got more screen time in season three.

Funny scene with Jimmy picking up Summer after she tried to steal Plan B.

(The condom broke with Connor.)

That being said … would love a decrease in jokes like this one for Liz: Derricks the best.

Well, if you have that power, can you make a woman fall for me?

Hes not a wizard.

Imagine your ex-therapist roasting you like this.

Harrison Ford on our TV screens really is a gift.

I got a little misty at the phrase lucky guy.

Thanks for following along this season!
