As the show returned from the break one last time, the camera was zoomed in on Mike and started zooming out as the audience cheered and the show theme played. Steve and Gypsy remained sitting in the middle, with the queen, Atta, Mr. Soil, Dr. Flora, Cornelius, and Thorny on the other side, and Manny and Stabler standing behind them. Gypsy was applauding with the audience as Angela and Mike continued to hold hands. The camera was zoomed out fully, revealing the stage and the backside of the audience. As the show theme ended, Gypsy stopped applauding as the audience silenced themselves as the screen faded to Jerry, who sat in a stool in the corner of the stage. Behind him, a window that revealed the inside of the industrial fan.
"Thank you!" the host said as he turned to the guests.
"First off, I wanna take this opportunity to thank our guest security for being here on the show, we appreciate you coming here."
The audience applauded as Gypsy, Manny, and Stabler smiled.
"Thanks for having us, Jerry," the female moth said as the host then turned to the human couple and the ants, the audience silencing themselves.
"And I wanna take this opportunity to thank all of you for being on the show, and good luck in the decisions that you make from here on out," he said with sympathy and support. "I know this is an incredibly tough situation. I hope you can work things out and find some happiness."
Jerry then turned to the camera, giving his final thought on the situation.
"You know, "I'm sorry" sometimes isn't good enough. Sometimes, the pain can run too deep, the wrongdoing too severe, and the scars too permanent. Even our best efforts to make amends can fall short when the damage has already been done. Sometimes, the hurt we inflict on those we love is so profound that we lose them forever because of our actions. That's why it's crucial to seize any opportunity to right our wrongs with the people we cherish before it's too late, for we never know when or even if that chance will ever come again. We've all heard excuses like "Things kept getting messed up, and we didn't want any accidents" or "He lied to us instead of being honest" or "We wanted what was best," but of course, none of these rationalizations justify the harm caused. Mistakes are inevitable, and hurting those we love is a painful reality, we all do it, but some mistakes are too grave to mend simply with an apology. In those moments, we must face the consequences of our actions each day and accept the weight of our choices. So if you've hurt someone dear to you, take a moment to reflect on the impact of your actions. And when the opportunity arises to make amends, seize it with both hands and don't let it slip away. However, understand that forgiveness cannot be rushed; it must be earned. Give the person you've wronged the time and space they need to heal, and refrain from pressuring them into forgiveness. Forcing reconciliation may only lead to further pain and resentment. So, as our guests today contemplate the roots of their conflicts and consider how they might have navigated them differently, they must ask themselves: "What can I do to make amends and alleviate all the pain I've caused?" It is a journey of introspection and accountability, but one that holds the promise of healing and reconciliation."
As he finished his final thought, Jerry said his famous ending catchphrase with a smile.
"Till next time, take care of yourself, and each other."
The audience erupted into cheers and the show theme played as Jerry concluded his talk and stood up to shake the hands of the guests, starting with Dr. Flora. Dr. Flora looked up at Jerry and nodded her head in agreement with his words, clearly recognizing the mistake she had made by treating Flik the way she and the colony did, coming up with the plan to send him on that quest just so he wouldn't be an inconvenience anymore, assuming that Flik's lies came from a malicious place of dishonesty, rather than a place of desperation and fear, and hurting Angela and Mike deeply.
As Mike, Angela, Gypsy, Stabler, and Manny were applauding the host's wise and inspirational speech, Mr. Soil looked up at Jerry as the host went over to him and extended his hand for a handshake. After they shook hands, the host then shook hands with Stabler, exchanging a few friendly and supportive words towards him and his team at the SVU and NYPD.
Jerry shook Cornelius' hand as well, then shook hands with Thorny.
Jerry then shook Atta's hand and exchanged a few friendly words with her before heading over to her mother, the queen. The ant queen offered the host her hand, which he gladly took and shook it.
He then went over to Gypsy and shook her hand, then shared a brief hug with her before walking to her husband, Manny and shaking his hand.
Jerry then turned to Angela and Mike, and with a smile he took Mike's hand first, and then took Angela's hand and shared a brief hug with her. The human couple both thanked the host for letting them come on the show and letting them express their situation freely, for giving them a chance to vent out their rage and hatred towards the colony, and for giving them the help and advice they needed.
Jerry smiled one last time before he shook a few audience members' hands, then waved to the audience and started to walk off the stage. Angela and Mike smiled as they watched the host leave while the female human held her boyfriend's hand tightly. Jerry's speech was inspiring to everyone, and everyone would remember it to the end. The lecture the host gave had given the queen, Atta, Thorny, Cornelius, Mr. Soil, and Dr. Flora a lot to think about on how they'll make things right, no matter how long or what it takes.
