I think the message was that he was letting his unmotherly mother go with the lantern, and then it came back and set fire to the tree in a sort of revenge. Idea OK but using a magic lantern? Definitely not. They are dangerous and this could, encourage others to use them. Very irresponsible and not what a doctor and his socially aware wife should do.

I thought the snow scene dragged on a bit and suddenly this guy at death’s door is remarkably well enough to put his santa outfit on?

Not just you LR, I feel exactly the same. Very odd & disappointing final episode. I could not believe the sky lanterns at the end. They are lethal & should be banned.

Is it just me but after spending years watching and loving and even visiting Port Wenn (Isaac), I felt that the final episode ever had a totally disappointing ending. They were sending magic lanterns into the sky which are known to be wholly damaging to wildlife, property and nature and I believe may also be banned in some places. One returned and set the public Christmas tree on fire. Are these producers infantile or just plain stupid? For me, bad final message and total let down of a once favourite series. Am I missing something?!
