The three kids had a moment, Claire and Mitch had a moment, Jay and Phil had a moment, Gloria and Cam had a moment, but you could just as easily I suppose have said the moment should be between Jay and Claire or Jay and Mitchell, or the parents and the Dunphy kids.
I think it was nice to have the kids, the kids who have been through a lot of adventures together, to give them a private moment.
But it’s hard and there were a lot of good (finale) ideas that were proposed and were considered.
Flash-forward seemed like a terrible idea to me because that’s science fiction where you’re time traveling, so we didn’t go too far down that road.
