series finale

Can someone please email me the answer to this. I was a fan of Alice as a child and still am. However, of course I never get to see it. Towards the end of the series I was in a private school and did not get to see how the show ended.

my email is rbalcerowicz@hotmail.com
I don't generally get to surf so I would be grateful if someone would email the info to me.

Thanks.

Well Mel sold the diner for a large amount and gave each of the waitresses 5,000 dollars. Alice wound up on the road as a counrty singer, Joleen began opening up her beauty salon, Tommy continued at Arizona State, Elliot got a promotion at the precinct and Vera became pregnant.

Here's another account of the last episode of Alice --

Alice, after nine years of trying, finally gets a recording contract and is moving to Nashville. Vera announces she is pregnant and decides to be a full-time mother, Elliott having been promoted from officer to detective. Jolene's "Granny Gums" has died and leaves her granddaughter enough money to open her own beauty parlor in her hometown. Besides all three waitresses suddenly leaving simultaneously, by an amazing coincidence Mel has just sold the diner for a large amount of money to a real estate developer, and must close within days. On closing day, he surprisingly gives each waitress a $5,000 farewell bonus. The remainder of the episode shows flashbacks to humorous and major events, and many of the big stars who had appeared on the show, including Polly Holliday. Finally, when cleaning out her locker, Alice finds the "Waitress Wanted" sign that first drew her to the diner. The series' regular customers, including Henry, say their emotional farewells, followed by Elliot, and finally the principal characters Tommy, Jolene, Vera, and Alice. The last thing we see is Mel putting up the "Closed" sign and locking up.
