The group leaves the airport and heads for home, and Ted resigns himself to the fact he is probably going to be on Craggy Island for the rest of his life.

The scene then transits to a montage of moments from every episode of the series in reverse order, ending with Ted and Dougal wishing each other goodnight.

The episode was always intended to be the last Father Ted; in the original script, the last scene was to be set at the "It's Still Great Being a Priest" conference with Father Kevin once again on the window ledge and once again Ted arriving on the ledge, except this time it is not to stop him from jumping but to join him, because he was depressed that the intended trip to America fell through and he would have to stay on Craggy Island forever.

The writers had initial concerns that their original conclusion would not work – Morgan's sudden death confirmed their decision to drop the ending, with the idea now seeming especially tacky.

Ted and Dougal say goodnight to each other (stock audio from the episode "New Jack City") and the light in their bedroom is switched off.
