This had to be the best episode all year and one of the best in recent memory from a series that has served up the best comedy, IMHO, over the last 5 years. One could argue Arrested Development for a couple of years, but I digress. Uhh, if yer interest, spoilers, a few at least, follow;If you've been keeping up with the series, Larry has had doubts about whether he was adopted or not. In the finale his private eye tells him the name and location of his real birth parents, the Cones. The way the dick pronounces it, it sounds like Cohen. As it turns out, they're Gentiles and Larry soon finds Jesus and relishes his Gentileness and accepts Christain teachings, which leads to a late life epiphany. He returns from WASPDOMANIA a changed man, all the better for Lewis, who desperately needs a kidney transplant. Of course, in typical Larry David fashion, EVERYTHING goes awry. The last bedside words were hilarious, a brief, but eventful trip to Heaven, was fall out of the chair funny. As was most of the episode.
An all out excellent conclusion to a mediocre season. FAR better than last season's el lame-o finale. I know this ain't 30 minute sitcom asylum, but dammit, I just had to share.
