Welp, I just finished watching it myself.  What a wet tissue.

- Dr. Mumbles appears for no apparent reason.
- Velma dry-humps Uncle Jesse.  My God, how completely out of employment 
options do you have to be to dry-hump Uncle Jesse vs. just walking?
- Scary Chaplin Chick bails.  Smart career move for the actress, but 
about six appearances too late.
- Morris did some "comic relief" stuff.  For the theater majors: that's 
"relief" from uninteresting main plots, not "relief" from dramatic
tension.
- That's about it.

In other news: How do they end this tragedy?  Seriously, how do you do a 
final episode when you have:

- Not a single character that anybody gives a damn what happens to them.
- Few characters left that the audience even knows who the hell they 
*are* ("Der, let's introduce a bunch more characters this week for no 
reason!  Derrrrrr!").
- A complete inability to write compelling scripts even on a good day.

Here's another one of Dropping T. Helicopter's Olde-Tyme Never-Wrong 
Predictions(tm) that you can take to the bank:  TEERPTB will try to do a 
"Very Special Final Episode", and it will be less well-received by the 
few remaining viewers than if they'd just unexpectedly pulled the plug.
