I was a bit concerned about the last episode, since there were several plot lines that did not look too promising. Happily, the script writers decided to avoid the annoying and/or depressing and/or puzzling ending that are the curse of so many contemporary series.
Two of the best scenes were Shulem meeting Racheli and being flabbergasted by her candid admission about her mental health, followed by him trying to dissuade Akiva from moving on. Luckily, Akiva decides that it is high time for him to start a new life.
Another welcome move was Giti changing her mind about her son's marriage to the "right" Shira. The cherry on the cake was Ruchami giving birth without dying - that was the main concern.
The final scene is clever and very moving, with Shulem, Akiva and Nukhem sharing a last drink in the kitchen and "feeling" all their family's members who used to be there, but are now departed. Shulem says they're not gone, they're still there and will never go and suddenly the room is filled with all the dear departed, Libbi, grandma Malka, etc..
