It certainly shouldn't end on the episode we finished, because it's just really random and nothing’s resolved. I apologize if it does."^[38] It was later confirmed that the 20th episode of the season, "My Hangover's Arrived", would serve as the season finale,^[39] though it has not been announced whether the remaining two episodes of the season will be produced later.^[37]
