Final Status
In later years, the Bauer family's presence on the show had dwindled significantly, leaving Rick as the only one regularly seen. He was often involved in major storylines, but never as the protagonist. In one of the final scenes of the show though, several members of the family are shown in a park celebrating Rick Bauer's engagement to Mindy Lewis. There it is shown that Ed has reunited with his ex-wife, Holly Norris; and that Michelle and Danny are living happily ever after with their two children in California. The fates of other family members such as Trudy, Mike and Hope are not revealed.

Famous quotes containing the words final and/or status:
“The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That’s why a little hyperbole never hurts.”
—Donald Trump (b. 1946)
“What is clear is that Christianity directed increased attention to childhood. For the first time in history it seemed important to decide what the moral status of children was. In the midst of this sometimes excessive concern, a new sympathy for children was promoted. Sometimes this meant criticizing adults. . . . So far as parents were put on the defensive in this way, the beginning of the Christian era marks a revolution in the child’s status.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
