This article contains spoilers for the final season of Grace and Frankie.Grace and Frankie recently wrapped its seventh and final season. The Netflix show starred Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin as friends, sometimes foes, and the ex-wives of Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston, and delivered plenty of plot twists, zany antics, and heartwarming scenes during its time on Netflix. Fonda starred as Grace Hanson and Tomlin played Frankie Bergstein, two older women who become friends after their husbands reveal they are in love with each other and plan to get married.

The two couples were lifelong friends thanks to the friendship between their ex-husbands, two successful divorce attorneys working at the same firm. Grace and Frankie are polar opposites (Grace is polished and poised, Frankie is messy and Bohemian), yet along the way the two women develop a deep if unlikely friendship that is the cornerstone of the series. Here’s a look at the series, how it ended, and just how satisfactory that conclusion was.

Grace and Frankie Through The Years

Grace Hanson and Frankie Bergstein went through a lot throughout the trajectory of the show’s storyline. Their husbands came out as gay and announced they were in love with each other. They had to learn to live together. That wasn’t easy, as Grace is a retired cosmetics executive who loves her designer clothes, vodka martinis, and insulting people, while Frankie is an artist and hippie who definitely does things her own way. Frankie is standoffish, while Grace loves deeply and is affectionate.

Despite their differences, they find common ground, friendship, and family along the way — oh, and they co-founded a company that makes vibrators for older women. Grace and Frankie are surrounded by their ex-husbands and their kids. Grace and Robert have two daughters – Brianna (June Diane Raphael) and Mallory (Brooklyn Decker). Frankie and Sol have two adopted sons – Coyote (Ethan Embry) and Bud (Baron Vaughn).

Season Seven’s Main Plot Points

The four main characters in Grace and Frankie are all legitimately senior citizens, and season seven saw Frankie dealing with the mobility issues her arthritis is causing and Robert dealing with memory loss and the early stages of dementia. Grace and Sol are there for their former partners and their current partners, and while Grace and Frankie are strictly Platonic friends, the storyline of season seven underscores that the two women are every bit as much life partners as their ex-husbands have become to each other.

Frankie’s Funeral

During season seven, it is revealed that Frankie has a psychic on call when she contacts her to try to find a friend who has gone missing from the old folks home. During her call, Frankie learns that she only has three months to live. In typical Frankie fashion, she has big feelings about this. As she says multiple times, “You can’t spell funeral without fun,” and she comes up with a plan to have her funeral while she’s still alive to enjoy it. She also tries to rush her son Coyote’s wedding to his girlfriend Jessica so that she can be there to see it. This is a theme of season seven — time is running out, and these characters are trying to get in all the good stuff they can.

Sol and Robert’s Final Farewell

It was important for a show starring septuagenarians and octogenarians to deal with the issues people face as they get older. One of the big ones is memory loss, dementia, and Alzheimer’s. Martin Sheen’s Robert has one of the more heartfelt and heart-wrenching storylines of the final season -— memory loss. Grace and Frankie adeptly handled the storyline from Robert’s perspective and from Sol’s perspective. Memory loss and its associated diseases do not just affect the person afflicted, but alos their family and/or support system, perhaps even more so. The show portrays Sol’s heartbreak and concern as he realizes his husband isn’t going to recover from this.

The Kids Are Gonna Be Alright

Throughout the entire run of Grace and Frankie, the ladies’ adult children have played a big part. Season seven finds Brianna, Mallory, Coyote, and Bud all at their own crossroads. Brianna got fired and broke up with her longtime boyfriend. In an uncharacteristic move of altruism, she tries to warn her sister when she finds out she’s also going to be fired from Say Grace, the cosmetics company their mother founded. Instead of dishing out her usual cynicism, Brianna then proposes that she and Mallory start their own company together.

Bud is at a career crossroads, and he’d really love to leave his lucrative job to pursue his passions but feels like his mom Frankie will be disappointed in him (of course, nothing could be further from the truth). And finally, Coyote tracks down a woman he drunkenly married in Vegas years earlier and gets the divorce he needed to marry Jessica for real.

A 9 to 5 Reunion of Epic Proportions

Grace and Frankie isn’t the first time Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin have worked together. They also starred in the classic working women movie, 9 to 5. At the end of season seven, during Coyote and Jessica’s fake wedding, Grace and Frankie fight, and during that fight, Frankie admits her arthritis has robbed her of her ability to paint, and she’s scared of growing sicker. Grace and Frankie hug and both are electrocuted when Grace’s vodka martini splashes onto the microphone Frankie was holding.

The two women are transported to heaven where they meet God who, in a perfect bit of casting, is played by Dolly Parton in a rhinestone-covered suit. God Dolly was also in 9 to 5 and fans have been hoping she’d appear on Grace and Frankie at some point. God Dolly tells them that while it is Frankie’s time (as the psychic predicted), it is not Grace’s, and she will be sent back to earth. As the two friends tearfully say goodbye and tell each other how much they mean to each other, Dolly takes pity and sends Frankie back for a little more life too.

It’s a bit of a silly way to end the series, but bringing in Dolly Parton is a wonderful touch that reminds audiences how wonderful it is to have such a thoughtful series for these stars who have been active for half a century. While more Grace and Frankie would certainly be nice, it would be unnecessary and superfluous at this point. These legendary performers have had their swan song.
