So last night was the season finale of “Army Wives.” There is going to be a sixth season, all be a shorter one at the moment based on the initial episode order (13 episodes). Last nights finale probably was supposed to serve as a series finale, should it have not been picked up.

Witt returned to help Roxy fix issues with the Truck Stop. It also opened up a conversation Roxy and Trevor had with the boys about their biological fathers, after Finn overheard the truth about Witt. A touching scene, which does open up the possibility of T.J.’s father being seen at some point . . . even though Roxy told him the guy was not a nice man.

Joan and David finally bonded in this episode, with him calling her mom.

Denise helped Tonya accept that Jeremy was gone, and that it was okay to move on with her life and be happy. She never said she was pregnant . . . . but with another season there is still time!

The main story was the trouble General Holden and Pamela ended up in after a disgruntled police employee in the evidence room released a partial tape from a cruiser dash cam which appeared to show a drunk Michael having trouble walk the line. After a lot of drama, Michael and Pamela were both cleared. Michael was not drunk, the short clip was out of context, his troubles were due to a back injury acting up.

The show ended with the news that Fort Marshall would be closing and their division was being disbanded and reorganized. The final scene all involved the wives (and Roland) agreeing to meet once a year no matter where they ended up. Pamela revealed she and Chase would be moving to California, Chase had a job offer there. Frank had been put up for a job in Italy. Claudia Joy pointed out the base wasn’t closed yet, it would be at least 6 months before they really had to say goodbye . . . .

My guess is the sixth (and maybe final?) season will deal with the closing of the base and the wives going their separate ways.
