Dead and Buried
Everyone's Waiting - The final episode wraps everything up neater than Nate's shroud. David faces his fears, and ends up co-owner and resident of the funeral home with Keith. Brenda realizes that her baby's going to be okay. Ruth gets past the worst of her grief and moves in with her sister, who we never see. Claire gets a new job in New York and heads east, even when the job falls through. And then they all die. Seriously. |

Late Nate, Jr.
Ecotone - So Nate's collapse last week wasn't his death scene; it was just a setup for his death scene, by which we mean this entire episode. Don't worry, though, because he does one last thing to help you not miss him as much. |
