The moment you've all been waiting for has come! The first part of my four-chapter finale is here and ready to be enjoyed! However, this chapter is more of an emotional and plot-based type, so most of the humor and other good stuff won't come until next chapter. By the way, if you didn't already know, parts of this were foreshadowed in my earlier episodes "Eds n Chips" and "Return of the Eds" via the newspaper scene in the former (chapter 31) and the final scene in the latter (chapter 40).


From the air, we see the sun slowly rising over the horizon, lighting up the sky, the clouds, and the suburbs of Peach Creek. As the screen pans down from the sky towards the neighborhood, the EEnE logo appears and is joined by word-shaped clouds to form the title:


Ed, Edd n Eddy's Fantastic Finale


The title disperses as the screen pans through the streets of Peach Creek. The first credits appear as ads on the windows of Main Street's stores, and another appears on the ad of a public bus at a bus stop. More appear on the message board in front of PCH, then after the screen takes a right from the high school onto another major street, it goes past St. Vincent's Church and down the street, passing a few cars before turning onto the dirt road leading to the trailer park. More credits appear as logos on shirts hanging on the trailers' clotheslines, then the screen goes to the trailer park's creek bridge before turning and following the creek. The creek eventually enters an arc-shaped tunnel behind Kyle's backyard, so the screen pans up, goes over Kyle's house, and descends left towards Jenna's lawn, where another credit is seen mowed into the grass. The screen then diagonally crosses the second cul-de-sac towards Zoe's house and into her backyard, where we see Sparky run around before urinating another credit onto a rock! The screen then goes through the hole in Zoe's backyard fence, leading into the lane where we see more credits painted onto the opposite fence, then the screen jumps the fence into Ed's & Sarah's backyard. The screen stops panning at Ed's window, where the morning sunlight shines through into his room, and we see the final opening credits on comics scattered across his floor.

The sunlight from his window hits Ed himself in the face, waking him up. He shields his eyes from the sunlight as he gets up from bed, letting out a cartoonishly big yawn while doing so.

"Wow, morning already?" Ed asks himself as he looks outside, then he jumps into the dryer outside his room's door. He jumps out wearing his mother's lingerie, and upon realizing this, he shrieks and quickly jumps back in to re-emerge in his normal clothes. He then rushes upstairs while doing his trademark laugh!

Ed enters his living room, where his parents are watching the news. Angela is wearing a fluffy turquoise robe while Stan wears orange pajamas. Sarah, also in her pajamas, comes downstairs and joins Ed in seeing their parents' appalled faces at the news:

"I can NOT believe this!" Angela shouts. Sarah asks "What's wrong, Mom?"

"Look." Stan points at the news on TV, explaining "The CEO of the Econo Company is tearing down Peach Creek."

"WHAT?" Ed and Sarah ask simultaneously in surprise. Meanwhile, Double-D, wearing his yellow pajamas, is watching it on his living room TV as well. The Econo CEO appears on the screen, revealing him to be the same blue-suited man who appeared at the end of "Return of the Eds." His name is revealed as "FREDDIE KANKER: ECONO COMPANY CEO."

"This... This can't be..." Double-D utters as Freddie talks on the news:

"I have discussed the plans for our new facility with Mayor Berner, and he has approved." Freddie explains: "We of the Econo are expanding our number of facilities to increase our production of consumer goods and satisfy the growing needs of the growing American population. So we decided that, in seven days, Peach Creek shall be-"

"- Torn down." Roger tells Eddy, who is putting on his regular clothes after taking a shower (with steam still emanating from his bathroom). Eddy is shocked by what his father just told him.

"Seven days, as in, exactly one week from now?" Eddy asks as if about to spaz out.

"Do I need to tell ya twice?" Roger asks back. "Your graduation next Friday has been held off for a later time. They haven't decided the time or location yet."

"They can't do that!" Eddy protests. Meanwhile, at Nazz's house, Nazz has halted brushing her hair in the bathroom as Tabby tells her "It's no use, Nazzarine. What's been done is done. We'll start packing up on Sunday."

"But, if we move away..." Nazz begins...

"... I'll never see my friends again." Jimmy, in his pajamas, cries into Wendy's chest in their living room. Wendy comforts her son.

Kevin, wearing his normal clothes, sits with his head down on his kitchen table after hearing the news, unable to eat breakfast with Peter. He only utters to Peter: "I can't believe this, Dad."

Rolf saw the news on his bedroom TV as he changed into his normal clothes. He sits on his bed after putting his shirt on, putting his hands on his face in frustration as he mutters something in his native language.

Jonny, already in his normal clothes, grabs Plank off one of his bedroom shelves and tells him "Looks like it's the beginning of the end of our time here, buddy. God, what am I gonna tell Nazz?"

At Zoe's house, we get a full view of Zoe's orange-colored room (which was darkened in "Eds n Chips" since it was nighttime). Zoe has a ladder-accessed loft bed with stocked shelves and a desk under it; the desk having a mirror, goose-neck lamp and radio system on it. On her room's other side are a dresser & TV near the door and a wardrobe near the window, and there's posters on the wall opposite the window. Zoe herself, still wearing her pajamas as she takes her normal clothes out from her wardrobe, has been told of the news by Laurie who's holding the crying Kenny (Zoe's baby brother from "Holly Jolly Holiday") in her arms. Zoe appears to be very upset by it.

"I know how sudden and hard it is, Amy, but we have to move on." Laurie tells Zoe, who merely replies "But, that... that... that isn't wicked at all, Mommy."

Kyle, sitting on his bed and still wearing his bedtime clothes, is playing a sad tune on his guitar after hearing the news from Becky. Becky tells her son "I'm sorry I had to tell you that, Kyle." before leaving his room.

Jenna's parents embrace her as she cries on their living room sofa. She's wearing her normal clothes.

"[I'll never see any of them again.]" Jenna tells her parents in Spanish before emotionally crying "[And... and... I'LL NEVER SEE KEVIN AGAIN! WAAAAAAHHH!]"

"[It'll be ok, Jennifer.]" Manuel tries comforting his hurt daughter, and Vanessa says "[We'll find a way so you can still see Kevin. We promise.]"

Paul's house is in unrest at the news. His parents and older relatives are angrily complaining and fussing, while the younger ones are all in panic mode.

"Where we gonna go, Mama?" Paul asks Lequisha in their kitchen, who answers "The hell you askin me? That muthafucka Freddie came outta nowhere with that shit."

"And seven days ain't nearly long enough to get ALL of us outta here." Mike adds as he enters the kitchen.

At Rachel's house, she and Nikki have just seen the news on their living room TV. Rachel is wearing a black, short-sleeved nightgown while Nikki's is purple, full-length, sleeveless and has a v-neck.

"And I thought we would stay here for years to come." Nikki says, while Rachel has a sad look on her face.

In the Kanker trailer, the sisters, all still in their sleep attire, watched the news with the robe-wearing Ursula in their living room. Ursula slumps her head down in frustration.

"Uncle Freddie's not even sparing the trailer park?" Lee asks in disbelief. May shouts to Ursula: "Mom, do somethin! Uncle Freddie will listen to you!"

"No he won't." Ursula replies.

"Why not?" Lee asks.

"Cuz unlike me, Fred is no dropout." Ursula explains: "He graduated at the top of all his classes, both in high school and business school. He was considered a prodigy and everything always went perfectly for him. And whenever it didn't, he always played his cards to ensure it did. That's how he became so rich and powerful. A symbol of Corporate America."

"But you can at least try talkin something into him, right?" Marie asks. "I mean, he's your brother."

"As much as I'd love to, Fred never listened to me, and there's nothin I can do if I stand up to him now. He and the Econo are big while we're small, and the fact that Peach Creek is on Kanker-owned land is what allowed him to do this in the first place. I'm sorry, girls." Ursula tells he daughters. May begins to cry.

"We.. We'll... never see our boys again if we have to move away." May sobs, and Marie also sheds a tear. Lee then tells her sisters "Let's just go get ready for school. Rach will be comin in a little bit."


Later, all the teens including the goths meet up in a PCH hallway. Kevin starts the conversation with "It feels like a bad dream, doesn't it?"

"That's puttin it lightly." Eddy says. "But fuck, did that Freddie guy have to come right in during graduation week? Lee, Marie, May, you three know him by any chance since he's a Kanker?"

"He's their uncle." Double-D answers. "Their mother's older brother, to be exact."

"Why didn't ya tell any of us that?" Eddy asks angrily. Double-D answers "I did, but it isn't my fault nobody ever listens to me."

"We tried to persuade Mom into talking to Uncle Fred, but it didn't work." Lee says. Ed's lip quivers.

"Peach Creek's Doomsday means WE GOTTA MOVE AWAY!" Ed cries. "ALL YOU GUYS, I'M GONNA MISS SO MUCH! WAHAHAHAAAHH!"

May hugs Ed and they cry together. Double-D pulls out an umbrella from inside his hat to shield himself from their deluge of tears while Eddy, Kevin, Jonny and Paul get drenched. Plank flies out from the tears, then bloats up from having absorbed said tears. Nazz picks him up.

"Guys, I just wanna say that, since chances are we probably won't ever see each other again after we move out, I just wanna spend every day with you guys til Mon and I move away." Nazz tells her friends tearfully.

"Why must this town of all towns be situated within the property of the Kanker clan?" Rolf asks. "I ask you."

"Lord Benedict Kanker won it over from Eddy's ancestors back in 1705." Double-D answers, embracing Marie. "And at this moment, I'm wishing that gambling match never came to pass. That way, we wouldn't have to be torn apart like this."

"The rest of us feel the same way." Rachel says in agreement. "And just when I was starting to open up a little more and get closer with the rest of you."

"So what do we do?" Jenna asks before they all get washed down the hall, and out through windows along with many other students by Ed's and May's surging tears.

"Damn, Armpit and Buckwild are takin it real hard." Paul comments.

"I don't even know if I can do my last final knowin about next week." Jonny says as he pulls Eddy out of the ground by his legs.

"We... We have to go on, guys." Double-D tells his friends as he gets up with them, but Marie grabs Double-D, about to cry.

"I can't go on. Not without you." Marie tells Double-D while breaking into tears: "I just can't. You're one of a kind and I'll never meet any other boy like you! You're the only one who can make me feel special! If you go, then I- I- HWAAAHHH!"

"Let's get outta here before we get washed off again!" Sean shouts as he, Bill and Dean dash off at cartoon-speed. Seeing Marie cry into Double-D's shoulder, Eddy's eyes start to well up, too!

"Eddy, are you..." Lee goes up to Eddy, but he turns away and replies "No I ain't cryin. I don't cry... OH WHO AM I KIDDIN? WAAAAHAAAAAAAHAHAAAAH!"

Lee picks up and hugs Eddy while Jonny & Kevin hug the also-crying Nazz & Jenna, respectively. Gray clouds move in and it starts to rain.

"This weather fits this moment's gloomy mood perfectly." Rachel comments, and Paul bobs his head in agreement: "Makes me wanna cry, too. But I can't cuz I'm... I'm a man and... and... I'll be a pussy if I do."

Paul starts to break down, so Rachel comforts him with a hug.

"You shouldn't follow what the common crowd says." Rachel tells Paul. "Even Rolf and Eddy are crying, so why not you? Given these circumstances, we all have a reason to cry."


Later on, Sarah, Jimmy, Kyle and Zoe shelter from the rain in Zoe's house. Sarah and Kyle are sitting on the living room's sofa, with Kyle playing another sad guitar tune.

"Kyle, please. That tune is depressing." Sarah pleads for Kyle to stop, and Kyle does so after seeing Sarah wipe tears off her face. He apologizes: "Sorry, Sarah."

In Zoe's room, Zoe and Jimmy watch the rain outside through the window, which shows a full view of the Navarros' backyard and the parts of the playground & lane bordering it. Zoe notices Jimmy starting to cry again.

"Oh, Jimmy." Zoe gives Jimmy a comforting hug.

"Zoe... I never told you this, but... I always liked your hugs." Jimmy tells Zoe between his crying: "You're so warm and... and... you always cheer me up when I'm down! I'm gonna miss you so much."

"Awww, I'm gonna miss you and your cute baby face, too!" Zoe replies. "But remember this. Even after we move out and go our separate ways, we'll always be in each others' hearts! Ok, Jim Jim?"

With that, Zoe kisses Jimmy's cheek and they continue looking out through Zoe's window at the rain. They see the teens getting dropped off at their bus stop by the lane's entrance.


The teens run through the rain to their houses. But when Double-D reaches his, he notices two SUVs in front with the "Econo" logo on their sides, as well as his parents' car in the driveway.

"Mother and Father are here?... And people from the Econo Company?" Double-D asks in confusion. He enters his house, but as soon as he comes through the front door, his mother Phoebe grabs him and brings him behind their sofa.

"Eddward, listen to me very carefully." Phoebe begins as we hear footsteps coming downstairs. She gives Double-D a key and a letter: "Here's a very important letter and the key to your father's office upstairs. But stay hidden behind here until they're gone."

"Until who's gone?" Double-D asks right before Phoebe gets grabbed by her hair-bun which was visible behind the sofa, making her squeal out in pain as she's pulled up and over the sofa. Double-D stays low and peeks to see who took Phoebe. She was taken by two gray-suited men who are taking her away roughly, then two more come down with Morgan in their clutches.

"Mother!... Father!..." Double-D whispers fearfully as the four men take his parents out and throw them into their Econo SUVs. Once they drive away, Double-D opens the letter, which also has a card key inside, though its details aren't shown. Double-D tries reading the letter, but the contents are written extremely small, so he uses a magnifying glass from inside his hat to read it. The letter begins with "Freddie Kanker," but the remainder is written as a code consisting of a very long list of book titles (three of which are "Mooney's Rules of Marketing,""Keenan's Guide to Physics," and "Foreign Languages with Peter Kelamis") with a series of page and word numbers assigned to each along with punctuation placements. Double-D recognizes the book titles as "Father's books," and he uses Morgan's key to open his office upstairs. He switches the light on, and we see that Morgan's room has a desk along with shelves containing dozens of books and weird contraptions.


Meanwhile, Ed and Eddy are at Ed's house, where Eddy is helping Ed pack his things up by putting all his wall sponges into bags while Ed tosses them out bunch-by-bunch after ripping the walls out off-screen. Ed still cries as he does so.

"Ed, please stop the crying, man. You're makin me lose it again like in Season 3." Eddy tearfully tells Ed. "I know we only got a few days left together, but you're..."

"I need a bro hug, Eddy." Ed says, so Eddy complies. Ed picks him up and gives him a huge manly bear-hug, to which the suffocating Eddy squeals "Ok Lumpy, you can let go now!"

"Edwin, Eddy. Double-D is calling." Angela calls from upstairs, so Ed and Eddy rush up. Angela gives Eddy the phone.

"Eddy, my parents left me a code regarding Freddie Kanker." Double-D tells Eddy.

"Freddie Kanker?" Eddy asks. "A code? For what?"

"I don't know yet, but it seems very crucial if my parents wrote it in code. And whatever it is, they were abducted by Econo workers a minute ago for it." Double-D explains.

"Econo?" Ed asks, and Eddy replies to Double-D: "Sounds like somethin is up with that Freddie dude."

"My suspicions exactly, Eddy." Double-D says as he starts taking books out from his father's shelves: "I'm going to start deciphering the code right now. But judging from the code's length, it'll take about four to five days to decipher on my own. Assistance will be required."

"Yeah, you start crackin that code, Sockhead. Ed and I will get Nazz and Jenn over there to help." Eddy says before ending the call, then he tells Ed "Let's get the girls."

To Be Continued...


Trivia: Mayor Berner is named after another of the show's writers, Geoff Berner. And the three book titles within the coded message are named after director Russ Mooney, Jimmy's voice actor Keenan Christensen, and Rolf's voice actor Peter Kelamis. The Econo Company is a food-producing industry in the EEnE universe. Ed ate a box of Econo Bran Muffins in "A Glass of Warm Ed," and there's also a box of Econo Beans in Eddy's brother's room. Seeing how these Econo products were background material in the series, I chose the company as a primary focus in these chapters to give the EEnE universe more of an expanded vibe.

Oh, and since I'm wrapping up the Teen Series, I wanna know how you guys think I've done via several questions. The one for this chapter is: What are your top five Teen Series episodes (not including this one since it isn't finished), and why? PM your answers to me; don't include them in your reviews.
