If you've been charmed at all by this show you will enjoy this final episode. The final season has been a great, relaxed farewell to characters, era and genre. Describing the episode might diminish its specialness.
Steven Bosco created a show that attempted musical numbers in a cop precinct, Cop Rock. I remember the final song of its truncated run, 'The Fat Lady Sings'. Letterman's morning show went out with a production number, 'Gambit'. The Takeshi Zatoichi ends with a cast call back dance number. Bleak House and The Mentalist end with a wedding and dance.
They are celebrating the act of creating something special in its affection for artifice. Acknowledging the audience in our willing complicity in this the make believe.
