"Goodbye to Camelot" is the 132nd and final episode of the American television series "Third Watch." It was the 22nd episode of the 6th season.

Plot Summary

In the series finale, following 'The House' going up in flames after a grenade attack, the Third Watch team is officially dissolved and its surviving members are reassigned to new squads with some veterans opting for retirement.

Storylines of central characters are wrapped up; Carlos finally weds after visiting Doc, Yokas and Bosco bury the hatchet, Finney wakes up from the coma, Sully and Jelly retire while Cruz dies in a blaze of glory after taking out the person who attacked their station. Cruz's grave is often visited by Manny who always places a rose on her head stone.

Critics hailed it as a somewhat rushed and anti-climatic ending to a gripping series that had a good run and was prematurely shut down.

Quotes

Bosco: Jagoff.
Cruz: Yeah. Except he's right.
*Bosco: Um, where did all this come from?
Cruz: Been on the street 13 years. You never got any weapons?
Bosco: I turned 'em all in.
Cruz: I didn't.

(last line of the series)
*Sully: The 55 closed that day. The one I knew anyway. It's being rebuilt ten blocks away. The thing is the new precinct won't be on the corner of King and Arthur anymore, so there won't be any Camelot. The idea of Camelot, a place where heroes gather in force, before going out to battle evil, that'll still be alive, and whatever building becomes the 55, it lives in every police station and fire station in the city, hell in the country, in the world for that matter. Bob Swersky retired as the deputy chief. He spends his days playing with his 12 grand kids; being our boss prepared him for that pretty well. ... DK took over the squad when Billy Walsh got promoted to battalion chief. Stu Lottaz ended up taking over Jimmy Doherty's rescue Squad. Stu, DK and Walsh saved 17 people one day from a garment factory fire. They all won medals of honor. Carlos and Holly got married. Today they've got three kids and a big house on Staten Island. Ty says Carlos is a good father. He finally found the family he always wanted. Ty and Sasha are still seeing each other. They say they are going to get married once their careers slow down, but I think it's gonna be a while. He's an Anti-crime Lieutenant. in charge of half of Manhattan, and Sasha's running for city council. According to the papers I get up here, she's leading the polls. Brendan is Lt. Davis's Sergeant on the Anti-crime task force. They make a pretty good team. Their troops have more arrests than any team in the city. Grace Foster put 3 more years on the street and then became an instructor for the EMS. She couldn't work out in the field anymore, being pregnant and all. In the end her mother was right, she became a teacher. She and Brendan are celebrating their first anniversary next week. ... When Faith reported to Major crime she got a surprise. Her boss, besides leading the department of homicide clearances, never lost her compassion for cases that involved a kid. She and Captain Miller are thinking about moving in together, after Emily finishes college that is. ... Maritza Cruz was awarded the medal of honor. Intelligence estimates that the amount of firearms recovered from that building saved numerous lives, mostly police officers. To this day someone places a single rose on her grave every morning. Bosco, well Bosco's doing the same thing he's always done, balls out, every day, every job, kicking ass, taking names, and being the police. ... Me, I've found my own little piece of heaven, a small cabin, 108 feet away from a beautiful lake, nothing but peace and quiet, the one thing i do battle with now is the occasional northern. But i consider myself lucky to be a part of that brotherhood, even for a little while ....(Sully is fishing and hooks a fish but loses the fish to a broken fishing line) .... CRAP!
