capped it all off

Completed the sequence

Capped it all off means to complete or conclude something, especially in a way that serves as a fitting finale.

The phrase suggests adding a final element that crowns what came before: She won three events and capped it all off with a gold medal in the relay.

Often used for endings that are either triumphant or, ironically, disastrous.
