Chrishell Stause (ex-Amanda) shared what was in the original ending vignette she filmed for the last episode of AMC: "Amanda & Jake walk into Oak Haven with Trevor and their new adorable boy they adopted, where Janet greets them. You see them hug & visit. Each family was gonna have their own sweet vignette with music playing over. Makes me sad only a few were filmed and none will be seen."
