So tonight was the big “Army Wives” Season Seven finale. For me though, there was nothing really big about it. This reminded me a lot of the Season Five finale, where they all toasted to one another at a dinner. We were left with a group possibly saying goodbye to one another with the base appearing to be closed, but later saved in the final hour. It was a happy medium, and an end to the show if they weren’t to get another season. They did however, and now we find ourselves in the same predicament. From this episode’s end it is clear the future is up in the air again, so instead of leaving us with a huge cliffhanger like last year, they opted for the happy medium like in Season Five. There of course were some cliff hangers, but nothing like a plane going down.

Tim had to face what he did to Holly, and with Hector and the others’ help, finally went off to a hospital to get treated for his PTSD.

Denise walked in on Michael and Kat sharing a kiss and was furious. She felt he was disrespecting Claudia Joy. Later after Kat talked to her, she told Michael she wanted him to be happy and she didn’t want her feelings getting in the way of that. It wasn’t really her full blessing, but it was a compromise. Kat and Michael planned to take things very slowly.

Tasha’s husband learned he was cleared to go back to the army, so their future looked bright. Their money troubles, and medical troubles for their son, were in the clear for now.

Gloria knew she had to choose between Pat and Hector. Both men showed her their best sides in this episode. Gloria was advised to chose the man she couldn’t see herself living without.

The end of the episode was Joan’s retirement celebration. She and the family were moving to D.C. for Roland’s new job. At the party Pat’s mom introduced Pat to Kat’s daughter. She thought he could give her pointers about heading into the Army, and maybe hoped for something more? Kat’s daughter clearly took a liking to Pat . . .

Gloria saw Pat talking to Kat’s daughter and realized she had made her choice. However before she would say who, she wanted to tell the man she chose. The show ended with the current “Army Wives” posing for a picture, along with various flashbacks from this and previous seasons.

So we don’t know how Tim will end up, and we don’t know who Gloria choose. My guess is we are supposed to guess she chose Hector? I would like her to choose Pat, only because Hector blew it once with her big time. I think we can also assume Tim will get better.

Was it a great ending? No. Was it better than some insane cliff hanger that would never get resolved if the show is not renewed? Absolutely.
