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:
“To make a final conquest of all me,
Love did compose so sweet an enemy,
In whom both beauties to my death agree,
Joining themselves in fatal harmony;
That while she with her eyes my heart does bind,
She with her voice might captivate my mind.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
“Anthropologists have found that around the world whatever is considered “men’s work” is almost universally given higher status than “women’s work.” If in one culture it is men who build houses and women who make baskets, then that culture will see house-building as more important. In another culture, perhaps right next door, the reverse may be true, and basket- weaving will have higher social status than house-building.”
—Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen. Excerpted from, Gender Grace: Love, Work, and Parenting in a Changing World (1990)
