I'm curious what all the possible lessons taught are. What is the lesson for not attacking Abel in episode 1? I'm not sure if it's tied to that, but attacking him makes the lesson to be, "If people steal from you, it's OK to try and kill them".
However, the alternative that replaces it is (quoting from memory): "If you don't stop people stealing from you, it makes you look soft and weak" or something like that, so I assume that's the one.
Ah so it's better to attack. Gotcha.

Not sure if this counts as a spoiler, but I'll mark it anyways. The episode had its ups and downs, the story DEFINITELY felt rushed, since it all had to be fit into 4 episodes instead of 5. I feel like, if the season was 5 episodes it would've been better. Since Episode 2, I could already feel the odd pacing. I'm just happy about the end, Clem is alive (Not gonna lie, I thought she really died, I was sobbing for a long while during the barn scene), Lilly is dead, Tenn is dead (unfortunately :/)and I feel like a part of me just ended too. I mean, I've been following the series for almost half of my life at the time of writing this. I'll miss Clem, the games, just... everything. Clementine will always be a part of me and I'm really happy that I get to go with her through her journey. That's all. I know that feeling well. The whole sorta empty feeling after finishing something you love.

Damn, forgot my choices. 1. I trusted AJ.
I really felt like I shouldn't, but in the situation we were in I couldn't afford to have him second guessing himself or me. We needed to have faith in ourselves and each other, as cheesy as that sounds, so after minutes of agonizing I decided to trust him. I'm glad I did.
2. Let Violet name the school.
Texas Two was the least bad option of the lame ones presented to us.
3. I told AJ to leave me.
I didn't really get emotional at this point, as much as in past seasons, but I was starting to choke up. AJ called me out because last episode I told him to shoot me if I got bitten. And Clem's response just broke my heart. "Now that I'm here, my heart is saying something else." Damn. I had her shoot Lee in Season 1 and it just made me think of how much doing that must have hurt her, and now that she was in his situation and I picked this choice it was like she was trying to shield AJ from that same pain. She knows what will happen to him he swings that axe at her, and she doesn't want to put him through the emotional turmoil that she never really got over. Damn again. Honestly my favorite part of the episode. The way it lined up was just perfect even though it was by chance in a way.
(Also, I legit cheered when Clem was revealed to be alive, so I guess I was just in shock or something up to that point).
4. I shot Walker Tenn.
That wasn't Tenn anymore. All I could do was put his lifeless husk down out of respect.
I have a few complaints. This was the weakest episode of the season, but every episode of this season, including this one, was strong. It just wasn't as strong as the rest, and I feel that owes mostly to the troubled development of this episode in particular. It was only partially complete when Telltale shut down so Skybound Games had to complete it as their first project. And for a new studio they did well with the help of a lot of the original team. I feel there could have been more fleshing out, and more story branching since this is the definitive end of the series. Also, they foreshadowed another Lee dream which we really should have gotten at the end. But the episode, and especially the end, was good, no question. In lieu of determinant paths I'm more than willing to take something as solid as we got.
Clem is alive, short one leg, chillin' with her girlfriend Violet at the school with the others, and AJ isn't an utter psychopath. Pretty much what I wanted. It was uncharacteristically upbeat for The Walking Dead, but I'm glad it was since so much of TWD is just dark, dark, DARK. This was a change of pace and shows us despite how awful the characters in this universe have it, they can win and they can be happy.
And that's it. I thought this to myself when Clem got bit, but it feels appropriate for where we are now. All roads have their endings, and Clem's wound on for quite a way, but now we've reached the end of her journey. And I'm glad I got to share it with all of you. I'll just leave off my final thoughts on this series as a whole with one last quote. "I'm real glad to have met you, Clementine."

And I don't recall what I picked for last dialogue choice. Was too busy whooping and crying. Yeah it was probably my least favorite of the season, but still really good. Still the second best finale of the series.
