Yes, they were in the correct order here. Thankfully.
I thought Nina's wedding was, by and large, a very *funny* episode,
starting with that scene where she addresses all the people she's *not*
inviting. I was a little surprised that you advised us to get the
tissues out. But it did have its touching momements at the end,
Nina telling Maya "you'll get it right the first time"
and - easy to miss - the fact that Elliot's touching speech was actually
made up by Finch, whispering the words to him.
If they'd shown Jack's retirement first, with all those sad farewells -
and I really felt the cast was saying goodbye to each other as well -
it would have been hard to watch another show a minute later.
But I would have.
