Full disclosure, some scenes have leaked. Apparently Brazil's Netflix aired the episode or whatever. Weird but they had to have gotten the episode from Disney so Brazil Netflix must've just aired it too early or something. Anyway I totally watched the leaked scenes. I have zero shame and zero will power when it comes to spoilers. Lol. But yeah so much good Auslly stuff. Still many pieces missing so I'm looking forward to the full episode. But guys it looks like a beautiful episode for Auslly. They really went all out for this one probably because it might've been the last. But I'm glad we got a fourth season because they can fix the couple of not so great things that happened. I need it to be Nov 23 already. I've seen so many bits and pieces but I want to see the whole episode. I have a feeling I will be watching it over and over again.

Ugh, one of the negatives of spoiling myself with the scenes that have leaked early is that I can't talk about them yet. And I really want to talk about what I've seen. So frustrating. Lol.

I watched the leaked scenes too and I'll watch the full episode in 2 days on demand so if you want to discuss it, we can. The ending felt so much like a series finale my heart hurt. I'm glad it wasn't the actual end because I don't want them separated. Though I assume they might be in the real finale too since I can only guess s4 will deal with graduation and wherever they end up going to college.

Even just based on the bits and pieces I've seen, the episode does seem series finale-ish. But at the same time I think they left strings they could pick up in a new season. It looks like Dez does move but it he's obviously coming back since Calum is definitely back. It's a little strange that his parents would let him up and move to LA when he hasn't even finished high school yet. Wouldn't he need to finish high school before going to film school? Idk. Even stranger is that apparently multiple artists want a high school girl to run their careers? What is that? Lol. I mean I love Trish and she finally found something she's good at with managing team Austin and Ally but she is still 16ish years old. Who wants a 16ish year old high school girl to run their career? It's stretching reality a bit too much that a high schooler is going to run a management company. That's one place where it really felt series finale-ish because how is that going to work in the new season? Is she really going to have a real management company? Wonder where they'll go with that.
They went all out with the Auslly though. So much amazing stuff. Super emotional but they got a really beautiful ending. I can't wait for season 4, they are going to really be a full blown couple now! They have to be. It's such a huge deal what Austin did for her, what he gave up to be with her. They can't ignore that relationship in the new season. They just can't. I'm not worried about Austin's career though. Eventually he will get it back I'm sure. Either he'll convince Jimmy to change his mind or to release him from his contract and he'll get a new record deal elsewhere. Jimmy's logic is kind of screwy though. First he incorrectly assumes Austin will sell more albums if he's single and basically forces Auslly to break up because he wants to make more money but when Austin goes against his wishes he decides to bench him indefinitely so he's making Jimmy almost no money (except for the music that already exists I guess). I'm curious how long they'll draw out this storyline though. I mean it's such a big deal it would really take away from the amazing thing Austin did for Ally if it was wrapped up the very next episode. I'm sure they don't want to waste Ross' talent for too long but they can find ways for him to be singing without rushing him back into a record deal plus he and Ally can still write together, Jimmy can't stop him from doing that. It's not that I don't want Austin to get his career back relatively quickly, it's just such a special thing that he did, I want them to respect that and use that storyline for a bit. Then get him his career back. Anyway this last episode of season 3 just felt like a love letter to Auslly fans. Tons of beautiful moments. And Ross and Laura killed it every time. Their chemistry is insane. Can't wait to see the whole episode. Lol.

I watched the episode at midnight and I was right all the important bits did leak. I loved it though overall. The Trish plot was definitely unrealistic but it always has been. I've always suspended logic at the thought of her as a manager. As for Dez, I think it's possible he could do both his senior year of high school and take some film classes before going to actual film school. LA would definitely be a good place to do it. I'm really curious what will bring him back to Miami next season.

The Auslly was perfect. It made me smile that they even incorporated the use of their couple name into the episode. I knew he would choose her over his career. He always has. It was little things before but this was HUGE. He basically gave up making music for 10 years for her. Obviously it won't last but I am really hoping it does for at least the first handful of episodes of s4. I would really like to see what storylines they could get out of it.

The breakup scene killed me. The "I don't want to lose you again" was so heartbreaking. I may have rewatched it way too many times. And the final scene made me tear up because it felt so series finale-ish. The group hug, Ally and her songbook, the way Austin and Ally walked out together and the audience cheers followed by that shot of an empty Sonic Boom.

I also love that Ross and Calum added the Austin/Dez handshake into the episode like they said they would during the cast livestream. I was kinda worried they would forget.

I always suspended logic with Trish's managing thing too. But managing Austin and Ally was one thing, mananging other acts that aren't her close friends? That's pushing it. Not sure how that will translate into the new season. As for Dez, I wonder if Carrie is in the new season. If they broke up it might make him decide it's not worth staying in LA anymore. Not that I want them to break up and it would be kind of cruel aafter he moves across the country for her that they don't last. Just curious what brings him back too. Maybe he just decides he misses his friends too much?
I also hope they do several episodes before Austin gets his career back. I want to see what they can get out of it too. It's just so huge for Auslly, they should use that for at least a little while. I saw that last scene, it leaked, and it was emotional and very series finale-ish. Which makes sense since they didn't know if they were getting a 4th season. I'm glad they have another season to get everything right. I love what Austin did for Ally and I don't want some magical very next episode fix for it, but eventually Austin does need to get his career back. This is going to be such an big Auslly season though. I can't wait.

Carrie better be in s4. She and Dez are so adorable together and I feel like she just fits with the group. If she isn't, I still wish they're together and just in a long distance relationship like Trish/Jace. I really don't want them to breakup just so he can come back.

I don't want them to break up either. She's a good match for Dez. I was just wondering what they will do to bring him back. And since a big part of him going to LA was Carrie and I have no idea if the actress is appearing in season 4, them breaking up was just a theory. One that's not true I hope. Maybe she tells him to go home to his friends because he's not really happy there or maybe some dramatic event happens that he comes home for not intending to stay but then decides he can't or shouldn't leave again but he has a long distance relationship with her like Trish and Jace. Since they specified that Carrie's family was actually moving for her father's job, I'm not sure she's going to come back permanently. So a Trish/Jace type arrangement sounds most likely.

I wonder if s4 will start months later after Ally's tour is over or if we'll get some episodes of them still on it like we did at the start of s3. Like maybe we'll see them get to LA and whatever happens in that episode is what gets Dez to come back to Miami.

Huh, I hadn't thought of that. That's actually a really good theory. It could happen.
