- Quotes
Rebecca Pearson: This is quite sad, isn't it? The end?
William Hill: The way I see it, if something makes you sad when it ends, it must have been pretty wonderful when it was happening. Truth be told, I always felt it a bit lazy to just think of the world as sad, because so much of it is. Because everything ends. Everything dies. But if you step back, if you step back and look at the whole picture, if you're brave enough to allow yourself the gift of a really wide perspective, if you do that, you'll see that the end is not sad, Rebecca. It's just the start of the next incredibly beautiful thing.

Featured review
A lovely ending to life.
The visuals are genius, the music is perfect, her death was perfect for her. I love how it tied in Rebecca's life perfectly. This episode is flawless. As a person who has known many who have died from dementia. It's painfully accurate to watch them deteriorate. I love this episode and the last few for still displaying Rebecca's beauty even as she slows down.
This episode gives me more closure with all the family I've lost to dementia.
