Atypical season 4 is out,
bringing this heart-warming coming of age tale
to an end.
We've seen Sam get his first girlfriend,
graduate, and head off to college.
And in season 4,
it was time to see him take on
an even bigger adventure.
Because I'm going to Antarctica.
Now let's take a look at your burning questions
after the finale of Atypical.
Will there be a season 5?
The fourth season of Atypical
was announced as the final season,
so no,
there won't be a fifth series.
But, as hard as it is
to say goodbye to characters we've grown to love,
showrunner, Robia Rashid, told TVLine
this final season is about hope
and journeys of adventure.
Zahid has spent four seasons being Sam's guide
on all things to do with the ladies.
After a bumpy time in season 3,
thanks to Gretchen...
I forgot how hot she was.
Did you forget how hot she was?
...in season 4 they become closer than ever
as college roommates.
Though, that isn't without its complications.
There's too many rules, it's impossible!
When Zahid gets testicular cancer,
Sam decides to learn how to drive
so he can bring him home from the hospital
after his operation.
Has there ever been a friendship as pure
and wholesome as this one?
Sorry I didn't ask first.
It's okay. At least it's tight.
The old Zahid would make a joke about that
but I've grown.
UCLA has their eye on Casey,
we learned at the end of season three.
While this is good news
for the budding athletic star,
the pressure of early morning runs
and the weight of Clayton Prep's team
on her shoulders begins to take its toll.
Her anxiety even presents itself
in bloodied fingernails, picked away due to stress.
When she bails on a big race with a UCLA scout attending,
it seems like she's about to quit track altogether.
Instead, she requests to return
to her old school's track team.
But what about UCLA?
Well, that's where
Elsa's habit of getting involved
comes in to play.
-Emily works at UCLA. -Mum!
And I'm not saying you have to go to UCLA.
Just go and meet with the nice lady.
It seems her chances of getting into UCLA
are very much intact.
After breaking up with Evan at the end of last season,
Casey and Izzie give being in a relationship a go.
As sweet as they are together,
it's not all smooth sailing.
Casey, for one,
will do anything to try to help her girlfriend,
including cheating on a test for her.
And Izzie,
facing difficulties with her mother,
finds it challenging
to witness how caring and supportive
her girlfriend's parents are in contrast.
You have this charmed life
and... usually it's whatever,
but right now it's really hard to deal with.
When things fall apart for Casey
after the big race, Doug admits he thinks
Izzie brings too much drama into her life...
The thing making her life so hard right now
is you.
...leading to a brief break-up.
I don't wanna be the reason
you don't do the things you wanna do.
This is short-lived, however,
and not only are the two back together by the finale,
they're both in talks with UCLA.
If either of us gets in that person needs to go.
Whether or not the other one does.
-Promise? -Promise.
-Forehead premise? -Forehead promise.
Paige may have started out as Sam's practice girlfriend
and after reconnecting in season 3,
they start out the final season
very much together.
Though, still without making it through to dessert
at Olive Garden.
When Paige gets a huge opportunity
to build habitats in Georgia,
Sam encourages her to take it,
even if it means they break up.
I never thought I could find a girlfriend.
And then I found the best one in the world.
You.
But now you need to go and I need to go.
So I think...
maybe...
we should break up for a while.
Sam and Casey's parents
have had some difficult times
in their marriage over the course of the show.
Doug, understandably,
had difficulty getting over Elsa's affair in season 1
and the two even talked about separation.
But, in season 4,
it seems they're doing much, much better.
This season,
Sam's parents have struggles other than marriage
to contend with.
Elsa, always wanting to take care of Sam,
has to deal with him not being at home anymore.
Come home.
Maybe I should.
Yes!
I'll put the sheets on your bed.
And, if you hurry,
you can make it in time for dinner.
Meanwhile, the sudden death of Doug's best friend
leaves him struggling with suppressed grief.
Chuck had a heart attack.
He seemed unsure
about what to do with his own life.
That is until he realises
just how many vacation days he has.
Meaning he can accompany his son
on a really special trip.
You have 54 vacation days?
Fifty four to zero.
Oh man!
I mean, if I had 54 vacation days,
I'd pack up my car
and I'd head straight to Myrtle beach.
Which brings us to our final question.
Does Sam end up in Antarctica?
Sam's opening line
of the very first episode of Atypical
is about his dream of going to Antarctica.
And his final storyline
is about that actually happening.
Not everyone is so supportive of his plan
when he announces it initially.
Sam's never left the country!
But soon enough,
they're all onboard to get him there.
From Casey helping to train him,
to Elsa making some Antarctic food.
Even the last minute cancellation
of the college's Antarctica program,
can't stand in his way.
I don't need a program to go to Antarctica.
I can go on my own.
Doug ends up asking Sam
if he can accompany him on the trip.
And I have all these...
vacation days saved up and...
well...
can I come with you to Antarctica?
Okay. You can come.
The last shot of the show
is appropriately Sam smiling in the snow.
Finally in the icy continent he's always dreamed of.
And what better way could there be
to end the show.
