So your work has reached the conclusion of its Story Arc — maybe even its entire Myth Arc. The main characters have faced off the Big Bad, saved the world, and have achieved their Happily Ever After. The End, good work everyone. Off to the next project! Except there are still a few rather minor loose ends. Oh well, if they're really that important, and we've got another season in the works, we can take care of those then. Now onwards to the wrap party... wait, what do you mean that was just the penultimate episode? We still have one more left to write? Huh. Good thing we didn't tackle those last few plot threads, then. A Dénouement Episode is when the final episode or entry in a work isn't the actual conclusion of a story arc; that was handled in the episode just before this one. Rather, it is a Dénouement; an epilogue that follows the excitement of the main story's end with a tale that is much calmer in terms of action (but incredibly emotional to compensate), and covers any lingering questions and plot points that may still need to be answered. If this is in the context of a Season Finale instead of a Grand Finale, then this may also be where you get your Sequel Hook for the next season. In terms of Season Fluidity, this trope obviously does not apply to episodic works that don't have any sort of story arcs to speak of. A work at least needs something akin to a Myth Arc to have its final installment qualify as this trope, as something is only a denouement if it's wrapping up loose ends after a major plot event. And you can't wrap up loose ends if there was no central plot-line from which loose ends could arise from. See also Dénouement. Related to "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue. If the episode takes place far in the future instead of the usual timeframe, it is a Distant Finale. Ending trope, spoilers. Examples: |
