As the series winds down Blair learns that Eastland has run out of money and will be closing. She is upset at the news, and asks her dad for the money to save the school. He tells her that he won't help and won't give her the money. Blair, instead of rallying the board or finding donors, decides to liquidate her trust fund (!) and buy the school. The Headmaster promptly quits, and after solving 1 fight between roommates, Blair decides she can be the new Headmaster. Guess those law school dreams are out the window! Are we supposed to believe that Blair would give away all her money and become - gasp - middle class?
I read in the trivia section this was a proposed spin-off for Blair. Spin-offs are fine, but why waste the last 2 episodes of this series. It would be nice to walk down memory lane with the characters and begin to wrap-up 9 years of stories without spending the bulk of the episode on new characters and situations. As Natalie is packing for Soho, it would've been a good time to recall some fond memories.
It's fun to spot Mayim Bialik, Seth Green, and Juliette Lewis among the Eastland students. There's also a few familiar faces among the faculty.
NBC decided not to do the spin-off. A good decision. Why do TFOL 2.0? Especially when A Different World was just starting. A better spin-off would've been with the Blair and Jo characters.
This episode was a 2-parter. I hope that the finale gives a proper send-off to this series and doesn't waste the majority of the time on the spin-off.
