Kris Furillo’s (Genevieve Cortese) dreams finally came true on the season finale and last show of ABC Family’s series “Wildfire” Monday night.

On the last episode, the Ritters and Kris learned that the lock to Wildfire’s stall had been cut and Wildfire was gone, right before a big race.

After looking for three days, everyone was giving up hope that Wildfire would be found, but Kris wasn’t ready to give up, looking everywhere she got a tip, though nothing turned up. Practically coming to the point where there was no hope, Wildfire returned and Matt Ritter (Micah Alberti) learned that a stable hand had left Wildfire’s stall open by accident, and after he was found missing, he cut the lock to make it look like theft.

Now able to race, not everyone was sure Wildfire was ready after being lost for three days. Kris was determined that Wildfire was ready.

But as a great ending to the show, Wildfire won in a close race which also included Dani Davis’ (Nicole Tubiola) horse, along with her future father-in-law’s horse Ken Davis’ (James Read).

But as Kris raced, her fiance Junior Davis (Ryan Sypek) had already left for his flight to Alaska. Going on one last ride around the Raintree Ranch on Wildfire with Matt, Kris is surprised when Matt disappears and Jean Ritter (Nana Visitor) and Pablo (Greg Serano) come out of the woods dressed in wedding attire, with Jean holding a wedding dress in her arms.

Jean tells Kris the wedding dress is for her as Junior comes out of the woods to tell her he canceled his Alaska project so they could be together and wants to marry her right then and there.

Kris and Junior are wed in a beautiful yet simple wedding under a brightly lit white tent under the stars on Raintree Ranch.

Really her only family she has, Jean and Pablo walked her down the isle. Matt served as best man while Dani was the maid of honor.

Junior and his father make up right before the wedding, as the hard-headed father finally decided having Junior in his life was more important than trying to control his son.

Also before the wedding, Jean and Pablo give their wedding present to Kris: Wildfire is now hers to keep. Even better, Wildfire is dressed in white just for the wedding.

This episode of Wildfire was not only the season finale but the last show of Wildfire due to its cancellation earlier this year. This being the four season, though short, was still good. I for one loved Wildfire and wished the show wasn’t canceled. While watching this last episode, I was thinking of the many areas where the show could have went, but sadly it can’t.

Matt and Dani are obviously a couple again, or heading in that direction. I would have preferred to see Dani with the vet and to see Matt with someone new. I also would have liked to watch the romance blossom between Jean and Pablo, though we know that the starting of it was there.

Thank you Wildfire for giving us a great ride!
