Fans of the couple were treated to a final scene between the two, as Claire said her final goodbye to the character. They confessed their love for one other in their final scene together, with Claire expressing it first. She told him she loved him and gave him a sweet kiss before leaving his hospital room. It has been revealed that this farewell was not planned by the writers but rather by Mendelsohn who wanted to have one last scene with his actress before she left Los Angeles. The ending was also influenced by the fact that Claire's mother, Linda Hamilton, had just died so it made sense for her to leave too at the end of the episode. Claire was originally going to stay in Mexico with Diego but when they found out he was dying, they decided to go back home instead. However, after seeing how much Melendez loved her, they decided to stay together in Mexico. This is why they packed their bags and moved there in the beginning of the episode expecting to live happily ever after. However, despite all this love, it seems like they are both still divided between each other. When Claire left his hospital room, we saw Melendez crying behind the glass window; although, he tried to hide it from her.
