Twists and turns then bang!!!!! This has to be one of the top 10 episodes of the entire series. They are putting on an exhibition of how to close out a series that all shows should follow. By knowing/planning the end, they are closing out characters that they wouldn't otherwise so as to drive the story.
This ep has multiple twists and turns with suspense, but best of all it also brings to the screen some of the things about the Navy (and military overall) that should make everyone proud of what our all volunteer service can do.
I'd also like to comment regarding some people's issue regarding LGBT. Get over it. If it had been a straight couple, would the scene and plot line played out any differently? The answer is no. It would have happened the exact same way. We've know that she was gay since the first season and there's hardly been any mention of it through the first four seasons. So big whoop. When I served in the 80s there were gay guys. We knew it, trusted them just like anyone else, because we all had our faces in the clay.
