In true Parks and Rec fashion, every character got a sweet sendoff — even the Parks department’s resident punching bag Jerry Gergich (Jim O’Heir), as well as relatively small characters like Jean-Ralphio Saperstein and Craig Middlebrooks (Billy Eichner).
Though Jean-Ralphio’s future seems dark at first — his flash-forward cuts directly to his gravestone during his 2022 funeral — it turns out to be yet another Jean-Ralphio scam, as he and his awful sister Mona Lisa (Jenny Slate) scheme to take his life insurance money and open a casino in Tajikistan. (Unsurprisingly, they’re caught right away.)
Meanwhile, Craig meets and marries the eventual love of his life, local hairdresser Typhoon (Rodney To). Though they share a fulfilling future, Craig still always finds some reason to complain.
Jerry, the most-picked-on member of Pawnee’s Parks and Recreation department, ends up with one of the show’s happiest endings. After becoming interim mayor of Pawnee, Jerry — whose real name is Garry — ends up serving as the city’s mayor for ten straight terms, eventually leaving his inexplicably beautiful wife Gail (Christie Brinkley) and their brood of stunning daughters behind at the age of 100.
