On one hand, this is a great episode, on the other, it is the worst episode ever. I enjoyed the interaction between Damon and Clayne, hate or love, they played off each other really well. This made the show work and made this episode great.
Now, if the actors really couldn't get along, couldn't find a way to be professional and move past differences, okay, end the series. Simple as that, especially when Lethal Weapon is 100% about Riggs and Murtaugh, not Murtaugh and whoever comes along. I'd feel the same if they fired Damon, making it Riggs and whoever comes along. It didn't work.
This is nothing against Seann William Scott, he was not the problem. Them trying to make Cole basically Riggs, but not Riggs, was the problem. It just didn't work.
As for the way they ended this episode, as others have stated, they gave Riggs his happy ending, finally he was moving on from his wife's murder, finally he found, and accepted, love again. If this was to be his last episode, this was the way to send him off, but no. They had to be spiteful. That is what the ending felt like to me, which was before I knew Clayne Crawford had been fired, it felt like someone wanted to really get back at him for something. After searching, I found out why, and that my feeling was spot on.
I have watched the last season, it was okay, but honestly? They should have simply ended the series when they fired Clayne.
