I think Big Harry may just be totally shit-faced after all, because he's drunkenly asking for the return of Neal and Morty. Mom Weir is a little "tipsy," too. She asks Lindsay to drive, and says that they will wait for her in the car while she says goodbye to Barry. Barry jokes about escaping his home to go to the Weirs'. He and Lindsay hug, and she leaves. Dad Weir stumbles out to the car, using Sam as a physical support. All the Weirs look pretty happy together.
"You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You" plays in the background. It continues playing while Mr. and Mrs. Schweiber ignore each other in their kitchen. It continues while Neal moves Morty onto the floor to come alive in the middle of the night and kill everyone in the house.
And it continues as Daniel drives up to Kim's house and knocks on her door. Kim looks pretty happy to see him. Or maybe she's just laughing at his hair. No, she's glad he's back. In fact, she's so happy that she starts crying. It's hard to see whether Daniel's crying, but I suspect he is. I'm not ashamed to say that I got a little weepy too, and it's not just because this is the last episode of Freaks & Geeks that I'll ever get to recap. Now all I have to look forward to is the Christmas special where Lindsay, Kim, and Millie come back home for a visit and decide to have a triple wedding. But you know, I'll bet the show's writers could turn even that concept into a good episode.
