S6E13 Dreams Come True

IT'S THE SERIES FINALE!! Ryan, Ian, and Brad throw all realism and stakes out the window and go on a wish fulfillment fun ride for an hour. Almost everyone comes back, but almost none of them speak. We flash forward to the absolute worst year the writers' could've picked, Sue becomes VP, Will changes the American education system, Klaine is on broadway, but none of it is less believable than a 2020 Tony Awards ceremony.
