Two and a Half Men (season 12)

The twelfth and final season of Two and a Half Men premiered on October 30, 2014.[1][2] It was announced that a one-hour series finale of the show would air on February 19, 2015, with the number of episodes aired being 262.[3] The season brought the show back to the way it originally began: two dissimilar men working together to raise a child.
== Production ==
For the show's final season the focus was centered on the relationship between Ashton Kutcher and Jon Cryer's characters. The straight best friends decide to marry in order to fool the system and adopt a young child.
At the executive session panel at the Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills on June 19, 2014, CBS President Nina Tassler announced the story arc for the season. During this season, which has been described by CBS President Nina Tassler as a season-long event to conclude the show by Chuck Lorre, Walden (Ashton Kutcher) will experience a health scare in the opening episode and, "he wants to find a way to add more meaning to his life, so he decides he wants to adopt a child and in doing so, he starts the process and realizes that it's very difficult to adopt a child as a single, straight man," Tassler said. "So once and for all he decides, 'I'm going to propose to Alan (Jon Cryer) and we're going to get married and adopt a child as a gay couple."[9]
Show producer Chuck Lorre explains the future gay wedding as bringing the show to a full circle. Lorre says that the marriage is about raising a child with 'a great deal of love' and not their sexuality. "You're going to see two men who are not gay but are going to raise a child with a great deal of love and attention. Their sexuality is irrelevant to loving and caring for a child, which maybe that's the big story that we wind up telling: taking a kid out of the system and giving him a home. What's better than that?" he added. He promised that there will be a wedding and hoped no offense will be taken.[10] Lorre said that "this seems like the next logical step. Not romance, not sex, raising a child."[11] Jon Cryer was skeptical about the story line when he first heard it but was won over by the story line when it was explained to him and insisted the show is not cheapening same sex marriage instead they will do it 'tastefully'. He also said, "Obviously we've cheapened plenty of things over the decade that we've been on the air. But that is something we're not intending to do."[10] Cryer had nothing but praise for the storyline and the season, saying "it will be a heartfelt journey...there might be more of a heart to this season than ever before."[12]
Charlie's daughter Jenny (Amber Tamblyn), who was introduced in season 11 as the new 'half man', appears in only three episodes this season.
Along with other sitcoms, this season is airing from late October instead of the traditional September season starting month. This is because of Thursday Night Football. To avoid competition with the sporting event, some shows have been held back until after its conclusion so the ratings will not be hurt.[13]
Charlie Sheen who was a previous cast member on the show, expressed his interest to reprise his role of the deceased character Charlie Harper in the series finale, saying "'I just want to do it classy. I want to do it in a way that still services what the show is today, and also honors what it was when I was there."[14] He even stated that producers were interested in the idea, "I've reached out to them and they've reached back," and added that he was "just a meeting away," from making it happen.[15][16] However producers denied the statements, saying that no discussions had been made.[17] Nina Tassler has said that there were no plans to have him back.[18] In December, Sheen launched another attack on Lorre, nearly four years after the first time saying, "Here's what sucks. I got clearance from the whole cast. Les Moonves. All the suits. There's one guy who's blocking it, guess who that is?" He even told Lorre to "get out of his own way."[19] During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on December 12, 2014, Ashton Kutcher remained coy about whether Sheen would return for the finale, but gave provocative hints on the matter.[20] But Sheen again posted another bizarre, derogatory remark about the show on Twitter in January 2015.[21] Despite this, at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour on January 15, 2015, Chuck Lorre spoke about the show and had nothing but praise for Sheen, "It would be inappropriate to not acknowledge the extraordinary success we had with Charlie and how grateful I am, we all are, to his contributions. And there's nothing but great feelings for the eight-and-a-half years we worked together." He said he wanted the finale to honour both eras of the show, and that there were "no wounds," following what happened with Sheen, saying "What happened, happened. And I'm grateful for the time we enjoyed working together and I'm very grateful Ashton came along and kept the lights on. What do I got to complain about? I'm so blessed."[22]
On December 5, 2014, it was announced that the series' finale would be February 19, 2015,[23][24] and it would be an hour long episode to conclude the series. CBS announced that the new incarnation of The Odd Couple, the premise of which Two and a Half Men was based on, would take its place for the remainder of the television season.[25]

Walden and Alan are scheduled to meet with social worker Ms. McMartin (Maggie Lawson) about adopting a child. Jenny says they will really have to "sell" their being a gay couple. She decides to move in with Evelyn while Walden and Alan prepare for adoption. When Ms. McMartin says she wants to visit the home, Walden and Alan "practice" being gay. Lyndsey complicates things when she returns after spending 60 days in rehab, and says she wants to get back together with Alan. Alan breaks the news that he is now married to Walden. On the day Ms. McMartin arrives and is in the kitchen discussing things, a now-drunk Lyndsey arrives at the door, saying that if Alan only married Walden to help him get a child, she and Alan can still have sex on the side. Alan quickly hides her in his bedroom where she passes out. She is later seen on the deck in just her bra as Walden and Alan try to distract Ms. McMartin. McMartin finally sees Lyndsey at the front door, but Jenny saves the day by pretending she is a neighbor and Lyndsey is her drunk friend.

Lyndsey complicates things when she returns after spending 60 days in rehab, and says she wants to get back together with Alan. Alan breaks the news that he is now married to Walden. On the day Ms. McMartin arrives and is in the kitchen discussing things, a now-drunk Lyndsey arrives at the door, saying that if Alan only married Walden to help him get a child, she and Alan can still have sex on the side. Alan quickly hides her in his bedroom where she passes out. She is later seen on the deck in just her bra as Walden and Alan try to distract Ms. McMartin. McMartin finally sees Lyndsey at the front door, but Jenny saves the day by pretending she is a neighbor and Lyndsey is her drunk friend. Later, Walden happily breaks the news to Alan that they have been approved to adopt.Title quotation from: Alan, describing to the social worker some of his favorite things to do with "Wally-bear".

Ms. McMartin asks Walden and Alan if they would consider adopting a 6-year-old boy named Louis, and sets up a six-month trial after they accept. Walden tries very hard to make Louis feel at home, but the two don't get along as well as he hoped. After talking with Berta, who was also a foster child, Louis later climbs into Walden's bed and asks if Walden will make him leave after the weekend, as has happened to Louis many times before. Walden assures Louis that he can stay as long as he wants. Louis then wonders aloud why Alan is not in bed with Walden.

It is Christmas time and Rose comes over and offers her help, but is turned down. Louis does not believe in Santa as he never got presents, so Walden and Alan want to prove him Santa exists by hiring a Santa who will be captured on video. Unfortunately, while Alan and Walden are in the garage putting together Louis' new bike, sex between Evelyn and the fake Santa leads to a trip to the emergency room for the latter. Sometime later, Louis can't sleep, and asks Walden and Alan to stay with him; the two wind up falling asleep.

Meanwhile, Herb has just completed Alan's physical exam, and says Alan really needs to exercise more. He suggests Alan come to his yoga class, which has the added benefit of being surrounded by hot women. One of the "hot women" they see there turns out to be Lyndsey. After Alan and Lyndsey argue a bit, Herb asks if he can pursue Lyndsey, given that the she and Alan are no longer together. Despite agreeing it would be a bad idea and a violation of the "bro code", Alan finds that Herb did indeed sleep with Lyndsey when he goes to apologize to her later.Title quotation from: Alan, while staring at a woman on an exercise ball, before realizing it's Lyndsey.

Just as they are getting intimate, Laurel hints that Louis has trouble sharing while Walden retorts that Laurel's daughter is a biter. The two argue, then have angry sex. Meanwhile, Herb has just completed Alan's physical exam, and says Alan really needs to exercise more. He suggests Alan come to his yoga class, which has the added benefit of being surrounded by hot women. One of the "hot women" they see there turns out to be Lyndsey. After Alan and Lyndsey argue a bit, Herb asks if he can pursue Lyndsey, given that the she and Alan are no longer together. Despite agreeing it would be a bad idea and a violation of the "bro code", Alan finds that Herb did indeed sleep with Lyndsey when he goes to apologize to her later.Title quotation from: Alan, while staring at a woman on an exercise ball, before realizing it's Lyndsey.

During a surprise check up, Ms. McMartin sees a half-dressed Laurel emerge from Walden's room, and is angered to discover that he and Alan were pretending to be a gay couple. She plans to remove Louis from the house. In a desperate attempt to change her mind, Alan tries to reason with her, which somehow leads to them having sex and the social worker complaining about her life and occupation. Walden becomes devastated over losing Louis and eventually has to say good-bye when Ms. McMartin comes to pick him up. However, as she is about to leave with Louis, she changes her decision upon seeing how happy Louis is with them, and agrees to let him stay so long as Alan and Walden tell her no more lies - unless her boss asks about them. She and Alan end up in bed again; afterwards, Alan asks her what her first name is, but her answer is not heard.Title quotation from: A pants-less Walden, trying to hide his secret from Ms. McMartin after Laurel calls to him.

As both couples are getting along together, Walden decides he wants to get divorced from Alan and move on. Walden gives Alan a wish because he was such a good friend in helping him adopt Louis. Alan gets a Ferrari, which makes Lindsey mad, as both she and Walden think Alan should have wished for something that included Lyndsey. Alan decides to propose to Lindsey — especially after Walden offers to buy the engagement ring. Walden in turn offers nothing but support, but then panics that he might truly end up alone if he lets Alan move out so he frantically begs Alan to stay at the beach house forever. Alan, surprisingly, declines but assures Walden that they will always be friends and he'd still come to visit. Lastly, Alan finally proposes and Lyndsey at first balks, but she happily says yes upon seeing the huge diamond in the ring.Title quotation from: Walden's comment about giving Alan the opportunity to make poor choices.

16 	"Of Course He's Dead" 	James Widdoes 	Chuck Lorre, Lee Aronsohn, Don Reo & Jim Patterson 	February 19, 2015 	13.52[40] 	
Alan tries to prove Charlie is dead in order to collect $2.5 million in back-royalties, but has no proof other than Rose's word. Evidence begins to mount that Charlie is still alive. The royalty money is claimed, threatening notes are received, and Jenny, Jake, Chelsea and friends of Charlie receive mysterious checks for large cash amounts along with written apologies. Alan receives a FedEx package addressed to Charlie containing whiskey, cigars, and a knife with which Charlie used to chase Alan.
Rose says that Charlie is still alive, explaining how, after catching him cheating, a goat saved Charlie when Rose tried to throw him into the path of an oncoming train, following which she returned Charlie to America and held him captive. Evelyn and Rose then go into hiding while Alan and Walden go to the police, returning home to find the house vandalized with more threats. Jake Harper drops by and tells a surprised Alan and Walden that he left the Army, is now married and living in Japan and has turned his $250,000 into $2.5 million in Vegas. The police say they have captured Charlie, but the suspect is Christian Slater. Alan, Walden and Berta relax in lounge chairs while they smoke Charlie's cigars and drink his whiskey. They observe a helicopter carrying a piano approaching the house. Charlie, seen only from the back, approaches the front door and the piano falls on him. The camera pulls back from the set to where producer Chuck Lorre is sitting, upon which Lorre turns around and says "winning", only to have a piano fall on him.Title quotation from: Alan's response to Walden asking if he is sure Charlie is dead.
