Methods of giving closure to an episode of a show, a Story Arc, or an entire series.
Ending tropes have major unmarked and unconcealed spoilers in the examples sections. There is really no way to avoid this because of the very nature of an ending trope; the mere knowledge that the trope applies to a given work is usually a spoiler in itself. Read at your own risk.
