We're at the end of what has been an incredible journey. In what was by far the longest episode of the series, we get to say one final goodbyes to all these beloved characters, and while this final season as a whole may have not reached the dramatic heights of Season 2, this doesn't diminish what turns out to be THE perfect way, to end such a unique series.
"Nothing will Rectify what's happened"





Early in the day before the celebration, in his usual therapy session, Daniel this time addresses a different event of his past, as he describes to his doctor the time that his friend and cell neighbor Kerwin was taken by the guards to be brought in front of the executioner, something that we have actually already seen happening in a Season 2 flashback, and that gathers even more weight when Aden Young tells the doctor about it, and in some way reminds us of. But that's not all, as Ray McKinnon give us a final gift and brings Kerwin back for one last flashback, in a wonderful scene so akin to many of the same kind that we saw during Season 2, where Kerwin once again helps Daniel to not giving up, to still have hopes and dreams, as they share an a imaginary car trip in New York City. It was a very sweet sequence greatly appreciated from someone that loved Kerwin and everything about his stint in the show.
In the final conversation between Daniel and Tawney, and in the dream sequence he later has while lying in bed, lies the final message that the series wants to give us, one of "cautious optimism" as Daniel says, where all the characters acknowledge that they are at the end of something that has been extremely difficult for all of them, but that doesn't stop them from hoping for something better, even if it won't ever be perfect, even if it won't be a sweet ending like the one that Daniel dreams of, being with Chloe and her baby in a field of corn kissed by the sun, being a father. It was sweet, it was sad, it was poetic and it was powerful. What an amazing way to end an amazing series. Nothing is perfect in life, but this sure came really close to perfection.
