Life's End

"Life's End" is the final episode of City 17 Street, which aired on 16 August 2020, just a week short of its fourteenth anniversary.

Overview
The series came to a sudden stop, with the creator feeling it was time to put it on a long hiatus. Some plot points built up were either unresolved or quickly dealt with in order not to drag it out further. The creator decided it was time to finally end the series, which has never been a work of art at any point in its fourteen year run. The last episode is rather low key, as it simply features the protagonist Nathan contemplating his future and realising how many years he has wasted being in City 17. It ends on a bittersweet ending where he gets a new job working at a secret organisation (implied to be run by the G-Man's employers), but is back at the bottom of the pile and looks towards an uninspired future.

The episode saw the "departures" of Dan Mason, Don Simmons and Simon Simms, who have all left City 17 to start new lives, with Nathan remaining behind. Although Nathan comes close to departing himself and starting a new life, he finds himself trapped when a planned deal falls through thanks to his enemies, who he quickly dispatches of as revenge.

Nathan's long-lost daughter Hannah Johnson (who last appeared eleven years prior) makes a cameo appearance, which is done to give Nathan some hope for the future and not to be left completely on its own. The reasoning for Hannah's return writing wise was due to her originally returning to the series later on in the year, but because of the series' cancellation this was reduced to a mere small appearance.
