This covers several (at least three) months, and it feels like there are missing scenes*, including the one where Angela decides to move to Iowa to be with Tony. She does her best to adjust, even taking up beer and bowling, but she misses her old life on the East Coast. When Tony's one-year contract is changed to three, she insists he stay but she must go home. It's painful for them to be apart, so, in an ending that deliberately evokes their ending, he returns and they kiss. The question of when or if they get married, or when and where he finds a new job, is left up in the air.
Charmaine Charles's third and final WtB role and Colette Duvall's fifth and final are as Party Guests, while Rosie Taravella is a Party Guest named Rosie, and it's unclear if she's still the Flight Attendant character. Frances Bay, Jerry Hardin, and Pat Millicano are back as respectively Candy, Dr. Graham, and Ned.
Who's the Boss? in its final season ranges from C- to B+, averaging out to a B-. Obviously, the season could've and probably should've been done differently, but that's true of the whole series. For the most part, the quality and the chemistry were sustained for a very long time, and that's still something to be proud of.
*Even on the original, unedited version, which I've seen on Youtube.
