An epilogue is an ending section added after a story or show that ties everything up. Think of it like a final thought to leave with.

In stories and TV shows, an epilogue is used to wrap things up nicely. It's often placed at the end of a book or season, giving you a glimpse into what might happen next in the characters' lives. For example, after a long series about two people who fall in love and get married, an epilogue could show them years later with kids playing in their backyard. This way, the audience gets to see how things turned out for those characters they've grown attached to.
