Just saw this on the EW site.  I have to say, that's what I had thought all along.  I was surprised when I got online and saw people claiming it was some new, final 'twist.'

My thought was what a nice little hommage to where it started.

If networks just had a better understanding about how fanwankily obsessive fans actually are! :)
