First off: many thanks. I haven't actually been able to see the finale due to no TV and temperamental computer, nor will I till the DVDs hit my library somewhere down the line... so this is the most thorough explanation I've seen of what actually happened. (Which is still pretty tangled - but hey, it's Rusty. *begins doing Snoopy happy dance because he's gone and the next season finale will be a totally different sort of crack*)

Second: this may just be the "young Southerner is not Southern" in me talking, but Martha/Mickey strikes me as race!fail. By which I mean, what do they have in common besides being black? Martha/Tom was the only interracial couple I've ever seen on TV (not that I watch a lot); why mess that up?

Third: Squee! Wilf is not dead!
