There’s nothing more frustrating than watching a once-decent TV show slide downhill into mediocrity or worse. But sometimes, there’s one last flash of brilliance. Sometimes, a show pulls off a series finale that actually puts an exclamation point at the end of its sentence. Which show pulled out of a slump for its final episode?

Please include a picture, clip, promo, or other piece of artwork for your chosen TV show. And please mention why it had gone downhill, and why the final episode was such a welcome return to form. Thanks!
