season finales
Cliffhanger episode slots
Season finales are the concluding episodes of a television season, typically featuring heightened drama, plot resolutions, or cliffhangers designed to leave viewers eager for the next season.
Shows often save major revelations, character deaths, or shocking twists for these episodes: I can't believe they killed off the main character in the season finale.
The singular is season finale.
