Attached as afterthought
Tagged on describes something added as an afterthought, attached loosely rather than integrated properly.
A tagged-on ending feels tacked onto a story rather than arising naturally from it.
The phrase suggests the addition wasn't part of the original design: The epilogue felt tagged on, like they didn't know how to end it.
