List of 7th Heaven episodes

"And Thank You" is the twenty-second, and final, episode of the 10th season of 7th Heaven. It was the final episode of the series to air on the WB network; and - for months - was intended to be the show's series finale, before being renewed last-minute just days later.

[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

On Simon's wedding day, he and Rose have made up after their fight at the rehearsal dinner. Matt and Sarah show up unexpectedly to attend the wedding and make a surprising announcement, as do Kevin and Lucy. Even the long-absent Mary appears in Eric and Annie's shared daydream and makes a call to the family to share her own good news. The wedding day ends happily, though not in a way anyone could have predicted.

[edit] Notes

  • This episode was originally intended to be the show's series finale before being renewed by the CW network.
  • This episode scored 7.56 million viewers on its original airing, making this the WB's most watched hour since the January 24, 2005 episode where Lucy gave birth to Savannah.
  • Jessica Biel's availability to appear in the finale was so last-minute that the already-finished script had to be tweaked. Additionally, her two scenes - with costars Stephen Collins, David Gallagher, and Sarah Thompson - were shot after filming for the season had already wrapped up.


[edit] Trivia

  • This is the first episode that Jessica Biel has appeared in since An Early Fall in September 2003.
  • The "fat lady" - played by Catherine Anne Hayes - who sang Embraceable You at the end of the episode was intended to parallel the famous quote It's not over until the fat lady sings.
  • For the first time since the Season 7 finale, all 7 Camden kids appear in the opening credits (and thus in the same episode).
  • The song Anything You Want was also featured in the show's pilot episode, and was also its title.
