closing scene
Story's last image
The closing scene is the final scene of a film, play, or other narrative work—the last sequence before credits roll or curtain falls.
It typically resolves the story or leaves a final impression: The closing scene shows them walking into the sunset.
By extension, any culminating moment: His resignation was the closing scene of a turbulent career.
