The second of a two-parter (and also a close follow-on from "Turn Left" - which could be a standalone episode worth seeing for non-initiates). A bit complicated, though certainly not one of the greatest or most innovative episodes (of which there is abundance in this series), but a necessary, pretty thrilling and often-fun conclusion and grand scale wrapping-up that brings together key players in a way never quite achieved before. Most of all, though, this is a heartstrings episode that skilfully avoids mawkish syrup, and therefore rises to the higher (and far more challenging) heights of genuine, affecting emotion. True fans will not have a dry eye between them by the time the credits roll, and that is quite as it should be - you put in, and now you take out!
