” ended its eight season run on Tuesday night by going back to the beginning. Literally. The opening to the ABC comedy’s series finale began much in the same way the pilot did in 2014, with Andre Johnson waking up to his iPhone alarm clock and narrating a bit about his state of mind.
Later, while working on a campaign at Stevens and Lido, Dre encounters legendary gymnast Simone Biles, who gives him more food for thought: “What is it that you want? If I’ve learned anything, you have to do what you want to do and not what anyone else wants you to do.” But that’s not all. In making a change, Dre also decides to leave Stevens and Lido, and spend more time at home. “Freelancing, but take a step back, which means you’d be carrying the load,” he tells Bow. She responds: “The fact that you don’t think I’m doing that right now is very cute. But I’ve got you.”
That’s when Dre decides to throw a New Orleans-style funeral and wake for their house. Zoey is also there, as the family throws roses into a coffin… and then a band shows up, playing “When the Saints Go Marching In.” As they dance on the street, out comes more of the show’s cast and crew — and the soundtrack turns to Stevie Wonder’s “As.”
Lilly said he considered making the finale longer, but ultimately liked the rhythm of ending with a traditional half-hour sendoff. “We wrestled with it, the network gave us the time, we talked about different things, and at the end of the day, they gave us an extra minute for the broadcast. And we used that entire minute to run full credits of our entire crew, because that’s what the show needed. That was that was also important to me, fundamentally about the journey we’ve been on as a show.
