A solid ending for the Ross family

Warning: Spoilers
The Bunk's Jessie era came to an end with this episode. List, Brar, and Jackson carried their characters longer than any other Disney live action talent. Final episodes are important for the legacy of the show and are therefore significant. As final episodes go this hit all the check marks. It had a happy ending. The characters are left in positions to which you are satisified their future will be fine. It was melancholy yet optimistic and the characters end story were true to their history.

A few final points. Bunk'd 2.0 was better. Zander, Hazel and Gladys were not missed and the younger characters were improvements to those they replaced. Bunkd was never a good show. I would say Jessie was a decent show with many major flaws but Bunk'd was a flawed show with some decent moments. Season three was decent and the interaction of siblings with Lou was a much tighter plot setting. It was true to the disney sense of happiness and destiny. In disney the herione finds happiness in following their dreams to the end of the earth away from family and friend (while pretending they are not leaving them behind and that they will always be as close as they are now), at Hallmark they find happinsess in home and being with their friends. They found a kikiwaca which brought the series full circle. The ending contradicted the lobster episode that showed Lou and the others at future lobster fests. It would have been nice to see Luke in a special appearance. Finally, I do have to criticize the ending as being silly. They sell the camp to Lou for a dollar. She decides to make it a not for profit camp for the underpriveleged. How is Lou going to do that. She needs money to operate the camp, and she is losing three key employees who worked for free. How can the camp stay open under that circumstance? If they had just thought that through and said that the parents decided to make the camp a charity with Lou in charge it would be plausible. Why not put just one second of thought into things.

Goodbye to Bunk'd and an end to a disney era.
