While it's not the best episode, it definitely was a very good episode and I really enjoyed it. After a bittersweet finale for season 3 and a bitter finale for season 4, it's really nice to get an episode that ends on a high and happy note. I think most of us were assuming there was going to be an unfortunate outcome from this finale, but instead they gave us a fun yet dramatic episode with a hopeful ending. It doesn't mean there won't be difficult issues in the future (JG did say it was going to be intense, after all), but for once, we got to celebrate the recent successes in Mordecai's life by finally watching him get the girl.

There's a lot of great things to this episode. Mordecai and CJ's relationship is awesome as always, and I like how we get to see both sides awkwardly finding a way to get each other something meaningful. While it doesn't mean CJ's personality is fully realized, it's a step up from when Margaret was around but the show solely looked at Mordecai's attempts and not hers. I loved finally seeing CJ in full stormy rage this episode (albeit not very long), and it was heartbreaking seeing Mordecai get hurt and appear dead. Rigby and Eileen were so adorable and supportive; whether they stay friends or become a couple in the future, these two make such a great team. The villain was crazy and amusing, there were a few neat throwbacks to "Yes Dude Yes", and there were some cute and funny moments scattered throughout the episode.

It's not the most emotional, hilarious, or action-packed episode, but for what it's worth, I kind of like how it's a quieter way to end the season. Not every season needs to end with a disappointment, and it was definitely worth watching. Agreeing with ImperfectXIII, this was a satisfying wrap-up to season 5.
