The truth being revealed to Terry allows him to let go of his anger and fear. He calls his long-time girlfriend Dana in preparation to ask her to marry him.

It contains many references to prior episodes of Justice League, Batman Beyond and Batman: The Animated Series such as the death of Terry's father, Ace from the episode Wild Cards, the future Justice League, much of Terry's rogues gallery, the Gray Ghost and Andrea Beaumont. The final scene also bears a resemblance to the first scene of "On Leather Wings" (the first episode of Batman: The Animated Series), as the creative team thought this could possibly be the final JLU episode, fully bringing the universe full circle. |||||
