Mr. Finale: Part 1 & 2 (Mr. Young)

"Mr. Finale" is the eightieth and last episode of Mr. Young overall, as well as the twenty-eighth and last episode of the third season.

Part 1
Dang is called back to Vietnam to take over for Master Ki as guardian of his village. The gang heads to Vietnam to try and convince Dang to come back to Finnegan for graduation. While there, Adam discovers an ancient scroll that points to the mythical fountain of youth, which if found, could make Master Ki young again, releasing Dang from his duties. But to find the fountain, Adam must go up against Echo who is trying to preserve the leaf monkey habitat.

Part 2
While Adam and Derby explore a hidden, underground temple in search of the fountain of youth, Tater helps Echo learn about monkey behavior, and Ivy helps Slab prepare for his first ever cover model photo shoot. All roads lead to a confrontation with a local fancy hat factory owner, who has been keeping a secret from the villagers for generations. In the end, Adam gets the gang back to Finnegan, just in time for graduation.

Why It's Found It's Way Out (Why It Rocks)

 * 1) The premise of the gang trying to get Dang back from Vietnam is very intresting.
 * 2) * The subplot with Echo trying to preserve a monkey habitat is interesting too.
 * 3) Nathan Kress (Freddie Benson from iCarly) guest stars in this episode.
 * 4) The climax in part 2 is really epic.
 * 5) As usual for a Mr. Young episode, the acting is great. And maybe even at it's best.
 * 6) Derby's baby hands.
 * 7) At least the gang made it home and Dang got to graduate.
 * 8) Bittersweet ending with Tater telling Adam the names of the new students coming to his class next school year with Adam telling him that he's retiring from Finnegan High and now he's teaching science at a university. Good choice, Adam Young. You will be missed.
 * 9) Most of the humor is also at it's best.
 * 10) Song Trong Cay, the fancy hat factory owner, is a pretty intimidating antagonist.
 * 11) Wow! Adam has a to go science lab in his backpack? And it looks exactly identical to his real one? Impressive.
 * 12) As always, the fancy hats are well designed.
 * 13) The Fountain of Youth is mentioned and appears in the episode. (With Adam calling it "The Fountain of Young" as he discovered it.)
 * 14) Said, graduation scene from the previous good quality was the best scene in the episode.
 * 15) No matter what you think of the show, if you hate it or like it, this was an amazing series finale.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The plot twist where we find out that Song Trong is actually 3 leaf monkeys on top of each other is pretty weird. Plus, it makes her seem less intimidating.
 * 2) The only plot in the episode that was mean-spirited was when Song Trong needed a fancy hat model, she chose Slab over Ivy and that messed up her self confidence.

Reception
Part 1 has a 9.4/10 on IMDb. While part 2 has a 8.4/10.
