Fully Absorbed Finale	comment	When a show ends without a Grand Finale — likely if it was cancelled without enough warning to the producers to film a proper ending — the producers may instead wrap up any loose ends in an episode of another show set in the same Verse. Conceptually, this is the Counter Trope of a Poorly Disguised Pilot. The Poorly-Disguised Pilot is effectively the first episode of a show on a different show; the Fully Absorbed Finale is effectively the last episode of a show on a different show. Like the Poorly-Disguised Pilot, the main characters from the "absorbing" show may take a back seat in the episode, with the focus on the characters from the "absorbed" finale. If the ended show was launched with a Poorly-Disguised Pilot on one show, the Fully Absorbed Finale will usually be an episode of the same show (assuming, of course, that the parent show is still in production). Alternatively, things might get wrapped up in The Movie. Sister Trope to Crossover Finale, where the final Story Arc of a work also happens to tie-in to a larger crossover event within a Shared Universe. Basically, if the grand finale of The Alice and Bob Show is an episode of The Adventures of Carol and Dave, it's this trope. But if the final episodes of the former have characters from the latter show up, it's that trope. As this is an ending of sorts, expect unmarked spoilers for the series having their finale abroad. Unmarked spoilers for the host series may also be present, especially if the shows were related prior to one of them being Cut Short. As this is an Ending Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

Fully Absorbed Finale / int_1bdab048	comment	Nova : The first series ended with a group of the series regulars heading off into outer space; the story continued in Fantastic Four (then written by Marv Wolfman, creator and writer of Nova), and finally wrapped up in an issue of Rom: Spaceknight. This happened again decades later. The 2008 volumes of Nova and Guardians of the Galaxy were cancelled due to low sales, so the creators were allowed to wrap up their stories in The Thanos Imperative.

Fully Absorbed Finale / int_1e3b270	comment	Darkstalkers: Even though no true Darkstalkers sequel has been made since the release of Vampire Savior/Darkstalkers 3 in 1997, Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes follows up on Morrigan's ending in Vampire Savior by revealing that she and her "sister" Lilith have merged into one. Other games, such as Cross Edge and Marvel vs. Capcom 3, seem to affirm other plot points from Vampire Savior. Two of the more notable ones are Felicia becoming a nun like her foster mother and starting an orphanage (although Cross Edge notes that she still operates as a singer to help support said orphanage and her ending in MvC3 has Felicia singing together with Dazzler in a concert) and Morrigan finally accepting her responsibilities and becoming the Queen of Makai. Project Ã— Zone would later have Morrigan claim that she cares not for the internal politics and power struggles of Makai, leaving the task of defeating Jedah to Demitri (and Dante). Though the plot of Project Ã— Zone is a direct sequel in some ways to Namco Ã— Capcom, it's unknown how interconnected the continuity of Capcom's crossovers are. This may also count as some plotline closure for Demitri, the original intended protagonist of the series until Morrigan stole his show, who actually does have ambition to rule Makai; he never faces Jedah in his Vampire Savior story (Morrigan is instead his Final Boss, but Demitri does serve as the last opponent in Jedah's route) and a drama CD for the third game implies that Jedah killed him.

David stated that Thanatos' true identity had several possibilities, but he decided that the alternate reality Rick Jones concept fit best with the resolution in Captain Marvel (where the main Rick Jones is a major character).

Fully Absorbed Finale / int_2250e67e	comment	The final episode of Star Trek: Enterprise was intended to serve as a finale to the entire post-TOS continuity by producers Rick Berman and Brannon Braga, who had served as producers since Star Trek: The Next Generation, resulting in the show's events being reduced to a holodeck program run by Will Riker from TNG. Taking place during the events of one fairly unimportant TNG episode as Riker looked to his predecessors while deciding what to do, you got your basic TNG holodeck episode guest-starring the Enterprise crew that doesn't really tell a story about the Enterprise characters (and doesn't really make much sense anyway because the Enterprise scenario doesn't even have much at all in common with Riker's dilemma), and Trip Tucker gets a Dropped a Bridge on Him death to boot. It sure wasn't anything like the Grand Finale to the pre-reboot Trek Verse that Bermaga evidently thought they were making. The episode resulted in considerable amounts of backlash from the fans (and from the actors as well), who just wanted a solid finale to Enterprise itself. Ultimately, it does end up a Poorly Disguised Pilot to Enterprise's Expanded Universe, which takes the ideas "These Are The Voyages" introduced, made it not suck, and combines it with the events known to have taken place between Ent. and TOS (particularly the Earth-Romulan War that fans had been hoping to see since before Enterprise was even announced). This storyline had its own combination of Poorly Disguised Pilot and Fully Absorbed Finale in the form of a Deep Space Nine novel in which Jake Sisko and Lieutenant Nog uncover evidence that the official record of Trip's death was a coverup of what really happened in the events of the Enterprise finale.

Fully Absorbed Finale / int_24a62796	comment	The Dallas reboot effectively did a variant of this for Knots Landing. While the latter series did have a Grand Finale, the show was still out of continuity with its parent series and had several lingering threads in the Reunion Show, Back to the Cul-de-Sac, that were never followed up on. The second season of Dallas resolved this in an arc that begins after J.R. Ewing's death, revealing that Val and Gary broke up sometime between the ending of the spin-off show and the episode he comes back on, Gary coming terms with said character's death and his association with Sue Ellen and the rest of the family, and Sue Ellen herself essentially getting Gary and Val back together as a way to atone for her actions.

Fully Absorbed Finale / int_27286fb2	comment	Spider-Man: No Way Home acts as this for both the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy and the Marc Webb Spider-Man duology by giving their respective Peter Parkers a much stronger narrative send-off. Peter (Raimi Version) is revealed to be older and wiser, with it implied that he's sharpened his scientific skills in the interim and might still be with Mary Jane, given his comments to MCU Peter about challenges in relationships and getting past them. Otto Octavius discovers that his dream of creating a portable reactor with the power of the sun was realized... in the form of Stark's Arc Reactors, finally receives a cure for the faulty regulator in his mechanical arms, and has the chance to reunite with Peter from the Raimi-verse. Conversely, Norman Osborn is finally cured of his insanity caused during the 2002 film, and has a My God, What Have I Done? moment the last time he's seen. Although Sandman had already made a Heelâ€“Face Turn by the end of the third film, here he is finally restored to his proper human form (after implied decades of physical deterioration) and can live a more or less normal life. On the other side of the equation, Peter (Webb Version) gets his own personal redemption when he saves the life of the MCU Mary Jane (after having failed to save Gwen in his universe), manages to cure Dr. Connors for good with the serum he develops, cures Max and has a conversation with him about their respective histories, and aids in helping permanently cure Norman (something he never did in the ASM series with the Webb-version of Norman's son) by throwing the antidote to MCU Peter at a key moment.

At some time in the decade following Agent Carter, he and Peggy ended their relationship, while she founded S.H.I.E.L.D. with Howard, and he transitioned from the head of the L.A. SSR branch to that of L.A. S.H.I.E.L.D. branch. Following this, he was assassinated by Hydra in 1955 after coming to suspect Hydra's infiltration, becoming the first S.H.I.E.L.D. agent to die in the line of duty. An Alternate Timeline version of him is saved from this fate and joins the time-traveling S.H.I.E.L.D. team, eventually forming a relationship with Daisy Johnson.

Fully Absorbed Finale / int_2e3e7ac2	comment	Justice League: The series concludes various plot threads from Superman: The Animated Series. The second season's opening two-parter brings back Darkseid, continuing the grudge between him and Superman and the New Gods storyline, and the third season's Cadmus arc resolves plot threads that were left hanging; specifically the fallout from "Legacy", which results in Superman having to earn back the trust of the public while dealing with the machinations of an increasingly paranoid government. "Destroyer" is the Grand Finale, since it effectively closes the book on Superman's longstanding conflict with Lex Luthor and Darkseid, giving both characters an epic sendoff. The third season finale, "Epilogue", functions as a finale for Batman Beyond. It was also essentially the Distant Finale for the entire DC Animated Universe, so the Batman Beyond setting might have doubled as a convenient setting for a distant finale.

When DC dropped his plans for a Superboy/Supergirl doble-feature magazine, all those plotlines remained unresolved. Dick's return was the only subplot which got a resolution as "Young Love" short story in the Solo (Volume 1) magazine twenty-one years later, and it was the complete opposite of what Kupperberg intended.

Renegade Rhetoric then continued as its own separate Facebook page on November 2, 2015, with the final posts (save for a series of posts about the exploits of the Generation 2 Transformers Go-Bots and a final farewell from Cy-Kill posted at the beginning of 2017) being a two-part story titled "Combiner Wars", which had the humans, the Guardians and the benevolent Rock Lords form a peace treaty between their respective home planets Earth, Gobotron and Quartex and a calamitous battle involving Renegade combiners Nemesis, Puzzler and Monsterous resulting in the Renegades and the evil Rock Lords soundly defeated while their respective leaders Cy-Kill and Magmar were forced to lie in wait until their next chance at battling the Guardians and the good Rock Lords.

The novel ends with a Sequel Hook (which was expanded by a short epilogue on their website). The authors' other works would make (sometimes self-deprecating) references to a The Ice Limit sequel, but none was forthcoming. In 2011, Preston and Child started the Gideon Crew series of novels, which included a prominent character from The Ice Limit as Gideon's boss. Finally in 2016, Preston and Child released the fourth Gideon Crew book. Its name? Beyond The Ice Limit. One gets the distinct impression Preston and Child made an entirely new series just so they could make the sequel to their earlier story.

Prior to this, the Inhumans feature in Amazing Adventures had also been cancelled before the plot could be resolved. This would eventually be concluded in the famous "Kree-Skrull War" storyline from Roy Thomas' Avengers run, with Black Bolt teaming up with the Avengers to free Attilan from Maximus the Mad.

The finale for 555 itself was notorious for not offering any true resolution while leaving the fate of the main character Takumi be ambiguous. Kamen Rider 4 resolves some of these plot points and gives Takumi a proper sendoff. What makes this entry notable, is that Kamen Rider 4 acts as a Fully Absorbed Finale for a series that stopped airing 11 years before its release.

Fully Absorbed Finale / int_5728e7b7	comment	Challenge of the GoBots managed to receive two indirect versions through online Transformers media by Fun Publications. The text stories exclusively posted on the Transformers Club website featured an arc where a large instability in the fabric of reality caused the Gobots universe to start slowly fading away. The Gobots discover that this is happening because an unexpected splinter Transformers timeline has been created, offsetting the balance of the multiverse. The story then involves the Gobots traveling to that splinter timeline (the Transformers: Classics universe) to find a way to stop this Cataclysm before it destroys their universe or any others. The arc was eventually wrapped up in the story "Spatiotemporal Challengers Part 4: Last Sunset", where the Guardian known as Small Foot and the energy being Solarbot sacrificed themselves to prevent the destruction of the Gobots universe and the Guardians and Renegades went back to business as usual while forgetting that Small Foot ever existed. The Facebook page Ask Vector Prime had a guest column that ran from October 13-21, 2015 called Renegade Rhetoric, where the Renegades' leader Cy-Kill had found his way into the Transformers: TransTech homeworld of Axiom Nexus and made posts where he described the events of a hypothetical second season of Challenge of the GoBots before being forced to retreat back to his home universe with several new Renegade recruits. Renegade Rhetoric then continued as its own separate Facebook page on November 2, 2015, with the final posts (save for a series of posts about the exploits of the Generation 2 Transformers Go-Bots and a final farewell from Cy-Kill posted at the beginning of 2017) being a two-part story titled "Combiner Wars", which had the humans, the Guardians and the benevolent Rock Lords form a peace treaty between their respective home planets Earth, Gobotron and Quartex and a calamitous battle involving Renegade combiners Nemesis, Puzzler and Monsterous resulting in the Renegades and the evil Rock Lords soundly defeated while their respective leaders Cy-Kill and Magmar were forced to lie in wait until their next chance at battling the Guardians and the good Rock Lords.

The second season's opening two-parter brings back Darkseid, continuing the grudge between him and Superman and the New Gods storyline, and the third season's Cadmus arc resolves plot threads that were left hanging; specifically the fallout from "Legacy", which results in Superman having to earn back the trust of the public while dealing with the machinations of an increasingly paranoid government. "Destroyer" is the Grand Finale, since it effectively closes the book on Superman's longstanding conflict with Lex Luthor and Darkseid, giving both characters an epic sendoff.

To the credit of those who put together the DVD release of Millennium, that episode was included on the DVDs of the last season. This might be one of the best examples of this trope backfiring. Many fans of Millennium and its star Lance Henriksen were very unhappy with the result and the way it trivialized Millennium's Myth Arc. "Jump the Shark" serves as a finale for The Lone Gunmen, which had been a spinoff of The X-Files. (Although the title characters from The Lone Gunmen appeared in other episodes of The X-Files after cancellation of The Lone Gunmen and before "Jump the Shark", only "Jump the Shark" tied up storylines from the canceled series.) This episode does appear on the DVDs for the one and only season of The Lone Gunmen.

The 93th issue ended up becoming the de-facto final issue, but then Ghost Rider was brought back to life somehow in Peter Parker: Spider-Man #93 (an amusing coincidence, surely). This was not a true finale, as it did not explain any of the threads from the original, aside from implying that The Reveals there were lies by Mephisto or Blackheart, and leaving the truth up in the air for future writers. The actual final issue was finally published as the one-shot fittingly titled Ghost Rider: Finale, now of uncertain canonicity.

Fully Absorbed Finale / int_69d15cc0	comment	Within the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Agent Carter, a spin-off starring Captain America's wartime sweetheart Peggy Carter, about her founding S.H.I.E.L.D. with Iron Man's father Howard Stark, received not one but three separate fully absorbed finales: In Captain America: Civil War, it's revealed that Howard was assassinated in 1991, while Peggy dies of old age (and possibly Alzheimer's disease) in the present day. A week after the movie's release, it was revealed that Agent Carter would not be renewed for a third season. Given the lengthy and poignant funeral scene, one can't help but wonder if this was pre-planned. In Avengers: Endgame, Steve takes the opportunity to live happily with Peggy in an Alternate Timeline (according to the script, he travelled to 1949 — four years after he got frozen, and two years after the events of Season 2 of Agent Carter) and passes the mantle of Captain America to Sam "Falcon" Wilson. Season 7 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. also wraps up the story of Agent Sousa, Peggy's love interest post-Steve who was also theorized to be her husband in the original timeline. At some time in the decade following Agent Carter, he and Peggy ended their relationship, while she founded S.H.I.E.L.D. with Howard, and he transitioned from the head of the L.A. SSR branch to that of L.A. S.H.I.E.L.D. branch. Following this, he was assassinated by Hydra in 1955 after coming to suspect Hydra's infiltration, becoming the first S.H.I.E.L.D. agent to die in the line of duty. An Alternate Timeline version of him is saved from this fate and joins the time-traveling S.H.I.E.L.D. team, eventually forming a relationship with Daisy Johnson. Also for Endgame, there wasn't an Iron Man film since 2013's Iron Man 3, although Tony Stark had continued to appear in a prominent role since. In Endgame, he marries Pepper, has a daughter, and dies in the climax of the movie. Spider-Man: No Way Home acts as this for both the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy and the Marc Webb Spider-Man duology by giving their respective Peter Parkers a much stronger narrative send-off. Peter (Raimi Version) is revealed to be older and wiser, with it implied that he's sharpened his scientific skills in the interim and might still be with Mary Jane, given his comments to MCU Peter about challenges in relationships and getting past them. Otto Octavius discovers that his dream of creating a portable reactor with the power of the sun was realized... in the form of Stark's Arc Reactors, finally receives a cure for the faulty regulator in his mechanical arms, and has the chance to reunite with Peter from the Raimi-verse. Conversely, Norman Osborn is finally cured of his insanity caused during the 2002 film, and has a My God, What Have I Done? moment the last time he's seen. Although Sandman had already made a Heelâ€“Face Turn by the end of the third film, here he is finally restored to his proper human form (after implied decades of physical deterioration) and can live a more or less normal life. On the other side of the equation, Peter (Webb Version) gets his own personal redemption when he saves the life of the MCU Mary Jane (after having failed to save Gwen in his universe), manages to cure Dr. Connors for good with the serum he develops, cures Max and has a conversation with him about their respective histories, and aids in helping permanently cure Norman (something he never did in the ASM series with the Webb-version of Norman's son) by throwing the antidote to MCU Peter at a key moment.

Unlike most parodies of this type, the character's name is left intact and he even makes a reference to another name-intact character, Jonny. In the next season, we actually see Jonny, who has become a pill-popping psycho that lives in a marine exploration pod (and who has since recovered from his addictionâ€”but not his messed up childhood). These characters appeared because they were originally going to be Lawyer Friendly Cameoes until the creators found out that they could use the actual characters due to the network owning the rights to themnote Until the "Jonny Quest" property was being shopped around for a film adaptation during the third season, at which point the freedom to use the characters was retracted. Could be seen as a Fully Absorbed Finale just depending on how serious you can take anything in The Venture Bros.

Fully Absorbed Finale / int_7161cf0c	comment	The Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover gives two series closures: In "Hour Two", there is a downplayed example with Smallville, the Arrowverse's direct predecessor. Smallville features a Grand Finale, where Clark and Lois end up together and Clark starts working as Superman. Hour Two reveals that sometime afterward, Clark chooses to give up his power — and by extension his duty as Superman — so he can properly settle down with Lois in Smallville, where they are raising two daughters. So basically, a creator's post-series notes brought to TV. "Hour Three" ends up serving as one for the 1990 The Flash series (which was retroactively made part of the Arrowverse as of Season 2 of the 2014 series), seeing as Earth-90 Barry Allen (the Flash from the 90s series) enacts a Heroic Sacrifice in place of Earth-1's Barry (pointing out that while the Flash was fated to die during Crisis, it was never specified which one) to prevent the Anti-Monitor's antimatter cannon from destroying the entire multiverse, effectively recreating his death from the source material. To drive the point home, the somber moment involves Earth-90 Barry thinking back to his love interest, Dr. Tina McGee, in his final moments via Stock Footage as that show's fanfare plays one last time. Note that the only thing preventing this from outright doubling as a Happy Ending Override is the fact that the previous crossover already established the Flash as the Sole Survivor out of all the heroes who rallied against the Monitor on Earth-90.note In fact, while Barry confirms that he and Tina actually settled down at some point between the 90s series and the crossover, his mention of her in the past tense heavily implies she suffered a Bus Crash sometime during that same interim, possibly even during Elseworlds as part of the aforementioned Earth-90 massacre.

The last scene of the game has Estelle and Joshua set out to find her as a Sequel Hook. In The 3rd, they end up reuniting in a dream world (long story) with an optional scene found in the resident Bonus Dungeon providing a crucial chunk of backstory. While the game functions as a finale for the rest of the Sky cast, Renne's story remains unresolved as the nature of Phantasma means that its inhabitants will return to their places in the physical world, while Renne refuses to tell them where she is. It's only in the Crossbell Arc that the duo manage to catch up with her during the new cast's own storyline. Fortunately, her character arc is resolved on a happy note.

In short, Chris Claremont had written a Grand Finale for the comic, and it was halfway through artwork when Marvel pulled the plug, leaving it unreleased until 1992. So, Claremont just took over Avengers Annual 10 using the plot points concerning Rogue's attack on Carol Danvers from the cancelled issue and tying it into the then-ongoing Brotherhood of Evil Mutants/Days of Future Past storyline. Incidentally, the issue also serves as a Fully Absorbed Finale and a Take That! to the events of Avengers #200 (which infamously had Carol going to Limbo with a man who attempted to escape there though complicated means involving her, and the rest of the Avengers do nothing to help her throughout the story), finally allowing Carol (and Claremont!) to give a long-overdue What the Hell, Hero? over Carol's treatment both in-story and out-of-story.

Fully Absorbed Finale / int_7d8c61a2	comment	Star Wars: The Old Republic contains two Flashpoints that conclude the storylines of both protagonists of the Knights of the Old Republic series: Revan is saved from the stasis where he was kept by the Sith Emperor for 300 years in a Republic Flashpoint; Meetra "Exile" Surik, who has been dead since the fight with the Emperor, finally becomes one with the Force in the same Flashpoint; then an Imperial Flashpoint invades Revan's secret new anti-Sith droid factory and kills him. The Bounty Hunter storyline also concludes Canderous Ordo's arc: his attempts at reforming the Mandalorians as Mandalore the Preserver ultimately fails as the Mandalorians end up aligning with the Sith once again and the rebellion attempting to honor Canderous' ideals is unceremoniously crushed. Revan and Meetra's storyline would then be given a final conclusion in the Echoes of Oblivion Expansion Pack with the death of the Sith Emperor, making this a double example.

Fully Absorbed Finale / int_81f5d35d	comment	Kamen Rider: The franchise has managed to take this trope and mashed it together with The Movie and created something called Movie Wars, in which it's the equivalent to the usual the "bring back last season's Power Rangers" episodes, with the added twist of having two stories, one for each starring rider featured. Usually the last season's Kamen Rider gets the finale part, while the current Kamen Rider gets more of a side story. The only Movie Wars to not pull the finale off was Kamen Rider Double's half of Movie Wars Core, though considering that they already had a Grand Finale, it made more sense to instead do an Origins Episode/Whole Episode Flashback for a Posthumous Character. The Direct-To-DVD crossover miniseries Kamen Rider 4, released when Kamen Rider Drive aired on TV, does this for Kamen Rider 555. The finale for 555 itself was notorious for not offering any true resolution while leaving the fate of the main character Takumi be ambiguous. Kamen Rider 4 resolves some of these plot points and gives Takumi a proper sendoff. What makes this entry notable, is that Kamen Rider 4 acts as a Fully Absorbed Finale for a series that stopped airing 11 years before its release. Kamen Rider Zi-O acted as this for quite a few Kamen Riders, most notably the early Heisei Riders from Agito to Kabuto. For the most part, it just catches the audience up on what a certain Kamen Rider is up to, but there are cases like Ryuki, Blade, and Hibiki where they conclude the series in a way that befits those shows. A special mention goes to Drive, where, while not having a dedicated arc, got a lot of focus in the endgame and shows what Gou is up to, as well as Decade, in which Tsukasa and Kaito play large roles in the show all the way up to the final arc. This is ultimately double subverted by the series finale where the Reset Button is pressed to rewind time back to the beginning of Zi-O, while implying these endings may not have been undone in the process.

Fully Absorbed Finale / int_83c239c	comment	How about a show that got two of these outside finales? Green Lantern: The Animated Series lasted one season on Cartoon Network before it met the same fate as the channel's other contemporary and subsequent superhero action shows— being canceled after frequent rescheduling and no advertising. The next big DC Comics animated adaptation, Justice League Action, probably knowing they were heading in the same direction, had Lantern co-producer Jim Krieg write one of their later episodes, "Barehanded", featuring that show's version of Green Lantern Hal Jordan hitching a ride with Space Cabbie to find his lost power ring. The last scene strongly implied that the cab's hypercompetent navigational app was actually Aya, Hal's hypercompetent navigational computer A.I., having lost her memory after destroying herself with a computer virus at the end of GLTAS. The episode ends with her remarking that Hal seemed familiar to her, and leaving the cab because she felt inspired by him to search for someone. Both Hal and Aya kept their voice actors from GLTAS. Later, Young Justice, which was originally canceled right alongside GLTAS (the two shows aired back to back on Cartoon Network, and aired their finales the same day), was Un-Canceled for a third and fourth season. The fourth season saw Jim Krieg and co-producer Giancarlo Volpe write another late-season episode, featuring Razer and Kilowog, Hal's and Aya's co-stars. Razer and Kilowog are fundamentally unchanged from GLTAS, with Razer using the time to pay off the big Sequel Hook he left back in his home series, before returning to his search for Aya. As before, the roles of Razer and Kilowog were reprised by the same actors who played them before. With any the luck, the next DC cartoon will sneak in an episode where they finally find each other!

Fully Absorbed Finale / int_bdb947ab	comment	Agent Carter, a spin-off starring Captain America's wartime sweetheart Peggy Carter, about her founding S.H.I.E.L.D. with Iron Man's father Howard Stark, received not one but three separate fully absorbed finales: In Captain America: Civil War, it's revealed that Howard was assassinated in 1991, while Peggy dies of old age (and possibly Alzheimer's disease) in the present day. A week after the movie's release, it was revealed that Agent Carter would not be renewed for a third season. Given the lengthy and poignant funeral scene, one can't help but wonder if this was pre-planned. In Avengers: Endgame, Steve takes the opportunity to live happily with Peggy in an Alternate Timeline (according to the script, he travelled to 1949 — four years after he got frozen, and two years after the events of Season 2 of Agent Carter) and passes the mantle of Captain America to Sam "Falcon" Wilson. Season 7 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. also wraps up the story of Agent Sousa, Peggy's love interest post-Steve who was also theorized to be her husband in the original timeline. At some time in the decade following Agent Carter, he and Peggy ended their relationship, while she founded S.H.I.E.L.D. with Howard, and he transitioned from the head of the L.A. SSR branch to that of L.A. S.H.I.E.L.D. branch. Following this, he was assassinated by Hydra in 1955 after coming to suspect Hydra's infiltration, becoming the first S.H.I.E.L.D. agent to die in the line of duty. An Alternate Timeline version of him is saved from this fate and joins the time-traveling S.H.I.E.L.D. team, eventually forming a relationship with Daisy Johnson.

Fully Absorbed Finale / int_bf09bf33	comment	Arrowverse: Season 3 of Legends of Tomorrow is essentially a massive grand finale for the Vixen animated web series. It brought back Vixen's main villain/Anti-Villain, explored the remaining Zambesi totems that the series never got around to, and ultimately has the heroes travel back in time to prevent the inciting tragedy of Vixen's story (and thus making it so that the events of Vixen technically never occurred). The Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover gives two series closures: In "Hour Two", there is a downplayed example with Smallville, the Arrowverse's direct predecessor. Smallville features a Grand Finale, where Clark and Lois end up together and Clark starts working as Superman. Hour Two reveals that sometime afterward, Clark chooses to give up his power — and by extension his duty as Superman — so he can properly settle down with Lois in Smallville, where they are raising two daughters. So basically, a creator's post-series notes brought to TV. "Hour Three" ends up serving as one for the 1990 The Flash series (which was retroactively made part of the Arrowverse as of Season 2 of the 2014 series), seeing as Earth-90 Barry Allen (the Flash from the 90s series) enacts a Heroic Sacrifice in place of Earth-1's Barry (pointing out that while the Flash was fated to die during Crisis, it was never specified which one) to prevent the Anti-Monitor's antimatter cannon from destroying the entire multiverse, effectively recreating his death from the source material. To drive the point home, the somber moment involves Earth-90 Barry thinking back to his love interest, Dr. Tina McGee, in his final moments via Stock Footage as that show's fanfare plays one last time. Note that the only thing preventing this from outright doubling as a Happy Ending Override is the fact that the previous crossover already established the Flash as the Sole Survivor out of all the heroes who rallied against the Monitor on Earth-90.note In fact, while Barry confirms that he and Tina actually settled down at some point between the 90s series and the crossover, his mention of her in the past tense heavily implies she suffered a Bus Crash sometime during that same interim, possibly even during Elseworlds as part of the aforementioned Earth-90 massacre.

Fully Absorbed Finale / int_d0744832	comment	The Avengers: When his short run on The Avengers in the late 1980s was cut short, Walt Simonson revisited and resolved the main plot he had set up (the Black Celestial building a universe-destroying superweapon behind an impenetrable time bubble in the future and a plot to set him free masterminded by the Cross-Time Council of Kangs) in his subsequent run on Fantastic Four, which featured guest appearances from Iron Man and Thor, two Avengers he had been prohibited from using in the actual Avengers title. (Simonson later remarked that he had more latitude to use two Avengers in FF than he did in the actual Avengers comic book!) Avengers Annual #10 serves as this for the abruptly cancelled Ms. Marvel. In short, Chris Claremont had written a Grand Finale for the comic, and it was halfway through artwork when Marvel pulled the plug, leaving it unreleased until 1992. So, Claremont just took over Avengers Annual 10 using the plot points concerning Rogue's attack on Carol Danvers from the cancelled issue and tying it into the then-ongoing Brotherhood of Evil Mutants/Days of Future Past storyline. Incidentally, the issue also serves as a Fully Absorbed Finale and a Take That! to the events of Avengers #200 (which infamously had Carol going to Limbo with a man who attempted to escape there though complicated means involving her, and the rest of the Avengers do nothing to help her throughout the story), finally allowing Carol (and Claremont!) to give a long-overdue What the Hell, Hero? over Carol's treatment both in-story and out-of-story.

Fully Absorbed Finale / int_d390d6f9	comment	Marvel 2099: The cancellation of the Spider-Man 2099 comic left the identity of villain Thanatos unresolved until writer Peter David did The Reveal in the pages of Captain Marvel (Vol. 4). David stated that Thanatos' true identity had several possibilities, but he decided that the alternate reality Rick Jones concept fit best with the resolution in Captain Marvel (where the main Rick Jones is a major character). The entire original run of 2099 titles was merged into a single book late into its lifetime, either due to low sales or because the original editor left. After that point, if you wanted to know what happened to Spidey, or the Hulk, or what Doom was going to do, you had to read the new series, 2099 Unlimited, a rather ironic title given how the writers were limited by the fact that all their stories had to be told in a single, cramped book.

They initially considered, but ultimately resisted, the idea of using the setting of Psychoville for an episode in the first series, feeling that their new show had to stand by itself without leaning on their past work. Come the fifth series, they used the episode "Death Be Not Proud" as the effective Grand Finale for Psychoville.

Fully Absorbed Finale / int_db339bad	comment	Chapter 17 of Jaune Arc, Lord of Hunger (appropriately titled "Legends") ties up two storylines from the Star Wars Legends continuity. The fate of Nariel Pridence, a Jedi Knight encountered in a side-quest of Star Wars: The Old Republic, is finally shown. In the game, she parts ways with the Smuggler after they help her obtain Darth Nihilus's holocron during "The Lightspring" mission. A flashback in the fanfic picks up shortly after that, where Nihilus's mask is revealed to have been stored inside his holocron. After saying goodbye to the Smuggler, Nariel flies her ship into the Unknown Regions to keep Nihilus's mask out of the Sith's hands. Mid-journey, Nihilus's spirit manifests from the mask and kills Nariel. Nariel's ship is later found and looted by smugglers. "The Mask of Darth Nihilus" was a mini-adventure from The Unknown Regions supplement of Star Wars: Saga Edition. The mini-adventure featured a conflict on the planet Volik between the players, a pirate gang, and a Sith cult; all of whom are seeking to claim the eponymous mask. The fanfic depicts the outcome of this battle. Just as all three factions are about to shoot each other, Nihilus's ghost interrupts the stand-off and kills everyone present with the exception of the players (here represented as droids). Following this, the droids decide to get rid of the mask due to how how dangerous it is and dump the mask on Remnant.

To the credit of those who put together the DVD release of Millennium, that episode was included on the DVDs of the last season. This might be one of the best examples of this trope backfiring.
