Series Finale - Hellcats - "I'm Sick Y'all"

There comes a sad day in every TV series life, when their last episode airs. Now you would hope that this would be after multiple seasons, and many episodes. But unfortunaly this isn't always the case, some are cancelled by their network, and CW's "Hellcats" (Aly Michalka, Ashley Tisdale, Robbie Jones, Heather Hemmens, Matt Barr, Gail O'Grady and Sharon Leal.) was a recent victim. After just one season the cheerleading series aired its last episode, on Tuesday last week.

"I'm Sick Y'all" was the season finale, which was about the Hellcats finally making it to nationals to peform. The team found many difficulties along the way, with firstly many teammates falling sick with strep throat, cutting the teams numbers down to twently (they need a minium of eighteen to peform.) Secondly Savannah's sister Charotte goes into labor, so she rushes to the hospital to be with her sister, while another cheerleader falls and breaks her arm. Next Cathy (a cheerleader from the Hellcats rival squad) in order to get back at Lewis, tricks him, and locks him in a bathroom so he can't peform, taking the numbers below the minium to seventeen.

Even though Lewis escapes and manages to make it just in time to peform, the contest orginisers discover the teams earlier illness and test each member, unfortunally three fail. The team is forced to forfit and loose, while their rival squad wins.

Throughout the drama, Charlotte has a healthy baby boy, Marti connects with her sister, and then looses her in the end when she discovers her father didn't abandon her sister, and that she was being lied to, Alice's father takes an interest in her and her cheerleading, and doesn't care that she lost, the Hellcats make a performance, joined by other losing squads, and enjoy themselves, Savannah steps down as captain, giving the position to Alice, and finally Vanessa looses her job.

The show, like a lot of cancelled show, left alot of un answered questions, will Vanessa be able to save her job? And will Marti reconnect with her sister? For fans all around it is the end of a great show, once where the story will never be finished (except for in fan fiction, and the minds of fans). The show ended with Marti riding her bike, upset about her sister, into the distance.
