What is he going to do -- settle down and peacefully raise tulips somewhere? Oh, man, I want this fanfic so much I might even write it myself! But if it had happened on the show- urg, no thanks.

I guess this is the end for Michael, unless he's showing up again in later episodes? (am unspoilt, but do not mind being spoiled) Certainly, if they'd had a sixth season he would have shown up yet again, but I'm glad that things stand like this, and that he got an arc that came full circle in the end. He always was my favourite villain.

Excellent point about Todd. Meh, so much to say, and squee! I might have to make my own post ;-P
