I am disappointed in the people who are disappointed with the ending and who also wanted Marshall to break off with Abigail and be with Mary. I am so thrilled with the series finale! I loved, loved, loved it. I kept telling my sister that if the producers made Marshall break off with Abigail to be with Mary, that I was going to spend a lot of time blogging, and complaining. I was never one who wanted Marshall to be with Mary. I know they say opposites attract, but not in their case. They were too opposite in the wrong way. Marshall is soft and sweet and cultured and family-oriented, and Mary is, well, opposite. She'd squash Marshall like a bug if he was with her. I am glad the producers didn't bend to "shippers" who wanted Mary and Marshall together and I am glad they brought closure to the father issue as well. I loved how Jinx told Mary that people heal in their own way and that it's time Mary got over her "abandoned father" issues. Oh I will miss this show and Marshall most of all b
I can not believe you ended this show like this... I think you also made us feel that Marshall and Mary where going to get together.. and all the shows leading up to the last show lead all of to believe that... I was all ready to buy the DVD's for all the shows, because I thought it was really one of the best shows... but not now...

I'm happy they didn't end up together - I think Marshall and Abigail belonged together. Yes, he did say he loved Mary, but he also said he loved Abigail. Deeply. And I think I would have thought a lot less of him if he'd dumped Abigail in the last episode.
I wish I could see Marshall being Mary's boss... I wish I could see what is going to happen with Brandi and her baby. There are so many stories left, I'm sad it's over. But I'm happy with the ending.

In Plain Sight was one of the only shows with a fully-realized, vital, humanistic, sarcastic, compassionate woman as the lead and wonderful, complex characters. There are plenty of females written to be perceived as strong who come across as superficial and sterile. Mary and Marshall were exceptional partners and I am sorry that I will miss seeing more of their banter. At least Mary McCormack will be back on tv in fall.

Anyone know the name of the last song at the end of the season finale?
I never wanted Mary and Marshall together. People read into things differently. I see Marshall telling Mary he loved her, but not in a husband/wife way. Mary feels that way about Marshall. Abigail is perfect for Marshall and what he deserves. He said he loves Abigail also, but some choose not to hear that, and that is their choice. I think finally after all that has happened to Mary, she will finally get a chance to let someone in her life, not just that can be there for her, but for her to be there for him. I loved that they saved ABQ witsec, I did not expect that. Stan going on to bigger things, while saving everyone he leaves behind was a nice touch. I was glad that they all are moving on. I am with the reviewer, I would have loved to see Marshall be Mary's boss. I am truly going to miss this wonderful show and their exceptional characters.

Really disappointed, but I am one who wanted MAry and Marshall together. Also I feel bad for Abigail Marshall told Mary he loved her, if he had said it back he would have dropped Abigail in a second. But she didn't so it seemed like he just like ok I guess I will be with the next best thing, that seems unfair to Abigail, How can you marry one person but love someone else.

So many richly drawn characters throughout the series. So sad to see on of the few worthwhile TV shows go away. I hate finales of shows that I love and will miss, but, as those go, this was appropriate and smartly executed. It was a fitting finale--not forced, but graceful and pitch perfect. I'm especially happy that, in my imagination at least, the good work we've come to know will continue in the ABQ WITSEC.
Although last night wasn't the best episode ever, I felt it tied things up and left me feeling...satisfied. I really do think Abigail is better for Marshall then Mary, and am glad Mary was able to understand that too and give him the room he needed to move on while still being friends. I am going to miss this show but am glad it was able to end with many things settled and people content where they were.

@Kris: Couldn't agree more!
I guess I'll just pretend this stupid finale did never happen and remember the episode before as the last one, because that was a lot better... What the hell??? They tease us with a heartbroken Abigail watching Marshall run to Mary's side - and then have him tell her she isn't allowed to call him anymore? Way to ruin a whole series in just one final episode... (Dear Marshall: If you repeatedly choose one girl over the other, and you know you'll never be able to ignore her calls - maybe that's the one for you? Just something to think about.)
Anyhow, I still can't believe they cancelled this amazing show, one of the best ever made! I'll miss it so much!

I am really , really disappointed for 2 reasons! 1st because the show has ended and I will really miss it! I don't understand why this show had to end. 2nd I was disappointed in the show last night. Was so sure that Marshall & Mary was going to end up together. It killed me when Marshall told Mary not to call him. Very disappointed. My last words on the show were "SHIT"!
