Leo drops the script. He walks toward the diner. The door swings open, and standing behind the counter, wearing the same pink apron, is a perfect, digitally de-aged replica of the original actress who played "Flo," the sassy waitress. She died in 2019.

Leo is given a challenge: he has to play the final episode again, but this time, he has to earn the happy ending. He can’t just read lines. He has to actually feel it. He has to remember why Sam loved this town. He has to forgive the character he spent decades resenting.

Leo scoffs. "I spent six seasons falling into manure. There's no prestige."
