The home video release of Parks and Rec's seventh and final season featured a "Producer's Cut" of the series finale, "One Last Ride." This included numerous extended and entirely omitted scenes from the TV broadcast, including one certain shock revelation.

The Producer's Cut sees reporter Shauna Malwae-Tweep's (Alison Becker) left at the marriage altar by her fiancee, and after Bobby Newport (Paul Rudd) finds her crying on a park bench, the two quickly get acquainted as he comforts her and, uh, offers her gum.

But best of all? Bobby's charm offensive clearly worked, as the two end up getting married just five hours later, giving Shauna the happy ending she was so desperately in search of.

Getting married to Paul Rudd is basically the definition of a Disney ending, after all.
