Sophia Bush, who, along with Bethany Joy Galeotti and Lafferty, has been on the show from the very beginning, told THR that she hopes fans feel complete after the finale. Bush directed the penultimate episode, which aired on March 28.

“We have the most incredible fans in the world and they’re so loyal and so dedicated,” she said. “I just hope that they can feel in the last episodes how much love we put into them.”
