Plot

SPOILER: Plot details follow.

The episode begins with Bloo waiting for Mac, as he is over an hour late for his daily visit. The Clock states that it is 4:00, making Bloo angry that he is being ratted out. Then, the doorbell rings and Ian and his family arrive to adopt a blue imaginary friend with no nose, leading them to Bloo's room where Eduardo, Coco and Wilt are holding a court. However, the friend Ian wants is revealed to be No Nose Ned, who has been in the room waiting for a new family to adopt him, and Bloo is relieved. Mr. Herriman explains that Mac is not going to be there because he is moving, so Bloo decides to kill Mac, only to change his mind upon seeing Terrence drop a box of fragile things, realizing he already has enough problems.

The next afternoon, Mac arrives at the home and Bloo wants to do something special, but the other friends - Wilt, wanting to play basketball; Madame Foster, who baked a new sugar-free batch of her annual cookies; Coco, to have their portrait painted by artistic friend Leonardo Dilychee; and Pizza Party wanting him to write a song for them, and others - have plans to be with Mac on this day, but Bloo decides to do something special: Jump the Shark (literally). While Bloo looks for a shark in the swimming pool, Frankie reveals something special for Mac: a surprise party, which he usually hates, but in this case, he really is surprised to see this as all the friends (including Goo) and many characters that have appeared in the series join in for a farewell. Bloo gets frustrated that he could not perform a stunt in time with help of a nerdy shark and Madame Foster's friend Flo Jerkins, bursts into the room with the dogfish friend with a fake shark fin and jumps over it.

Eventually, Mac is able to explain to Bloo and the others what's really going on with him and his family: rather than moving to a whole new city, Mac and his family are moving into another apartment within the complex they already live in. Mac elaborates on this by explaining that his mom recently got a promotion at her workplace and needs a home office, so the family needs a bigger place to live in -- and the new apartment they're moving into was previously occupied by his neighbor, Louise (Cheese's creator), who's moving out of the complex entirely with her family. Mac then goes on to explain how Louise and her family are moving to an apartment complex that has a strict "no pets or imaginary friends" policy -- this means that, not only does Louise have to give Cheese up for adoption, but Cheese now has to live at Foster's.

Cheese then comes in and greets them with, "Now we're brother roomies!" Everybody screams in horror, with Wilt adding, "I'm sorry, but this is not okay!" The episode ends with the opening animation playing in reverse, and the screen turns completely white. Cheese then says a final goodbye to the audience, ending the series (after 6 seasons and 79 episodes).

The final credit rolls, with Craig and Lauren thanking the fans.

As the final credits roll, a hand-drawn ink-on-paper drawing of a happy Mac and Bloo walking off into the sunset with the words, "Thanks for watching!! Craig and Lauren" written at the top is shown on the right, signifying the end of the series.

Trivia

• This is the final episode to premiere in 2009.
• This is the very last episode of the entire series ever, and is also the last appearance of many of the main characters, along with recurring, supporting and minor characters.
  • This is also the only appearances of Leonardo Dilychee, Ian, Clock and No Nose Ned.
• Duchess is the only major character to not appear in this episode, as she last appeared in "The Bloo Superdude and the Great Creator of Everything's Awesome Ceremony of Fun That He's Not Invited To".
• This is the only appearance of Terrence and Vic Trolla in a widescreen-produced episode.
• This was Craig Douglas McCracken's final project before he quit his job at Cartoon Network for Disney to create his own series, Wander Over Yonder.
• Cheese is the last to speak in this episode, making him the last character to speak in the whole series.
• Bloo is once again at Mac's apartment; however, he's not directly in the apartment with Mac, he's just outside of the apartment.
• One of the signatures on Mac's goodbye card is that of Bendy, despite the fact that he was completely removed from the show's continuity after "Everyone Knows It's Bendy" due to the negative reception of the episode.
  • It is possible that there is another imaginary friend named Bendy, not the same friend seen in "Everyone Knows It's Bendy".
  • Similarly, Goofball's signature can barely be seen on the card, even though the character and his episode were also removed from the show's continuity for similar reasons.
• This is the first time Bloo’s uvula is seen, when Madame Foster gives Mac cookies and Mac is taking too long to eat the cookies.

Cultural references

• The title is based on the phrase "Goodbye to You", also a song title by Scandal and Roxette.
• The book No Nose Ned is reading appears to parody the For Dummies book series.

Goofs

• When Mac says "Do you mind, Bloo?" when Leonardo Dilychee is about to paint another picture of him and Coco, his left leg is missing but his left foot is still visible.
• When Frankie says "Yeah, Wilt and Ed told me.", her mouth doesn't move.
