It is extremely unfortunate that this was the last episode to air, because it is by far the weakest of the bunch and must have made for an incredibly unsatisfying swansong.
I should probably also add that, while the vast majority of the cast perform well and portray characters whose relevance in the grand scheme of the show is clear, there is one exception: Mahandra (Tracie Thoms), Jaye's friend and by far the least interesting character.
Firmly established as an agony aunt of sorts for Jaye, her main purpose, especially in the early episodes, is to be a confidante to whom Jaye can pour out all her pent-up emotions.

Taye Diggs, who’s had the most big-screen success since the play’s debut, is back to play the relatively minor character, Benny, a one-time habitué of the streets who married wealth and now seeks to evict his former friends and raze their buildings to make way for more profitable developments.
New to the cast are Rosario Dawson, sinuous and sympathetic in the role of exotic dancer/junkie/Roger’s lover Mimi, and Tracie Thoms, who plays Maureen’s lawyer/lover Joanne.
Her powerful soaring voice sets her apart from the rest of the performers in the opening number and dominates in her duet with Rapp in “Tango: Maureen,” the most electrifying production number in the picture.
