You know you want in on this magical journey.
Rashad telling Emma that this wouldnt have been the same without her?
Its almost too much to take.
This emotional roller coaster dressed in glitter is what we came for.
For a small breather,DWTSoffers up an intermission of sexual exploitation.
I mean that in the best way possible.
Witney choreographs a ladies-only number (including Heather Morris!)
set to Bishop Briggs River, performed under rain from the ballroom skies that is chill-inducing.
As is tradition, we also take a quick journey back through the season.
Charo threatening Brunos life… but, like, in an adorable way?
And one of my favorite new themes to come out of season 24: Vegas Night.
Nancy has never looked so free!
My kingdom for an I heart Maks shirt.
Maks and Heather bless us with their perfect-40 rumba to Waterfalls backed up by… TLC.
Its as wonderful as you imagine.
And yes, as promised, Simone and Sasha dance for us again.
It involvesMoanaand a lot of gymnastics.
Thats a lot of reminiscing.
The three finalists get to show off some of their favorite dances from the season, too.
David, bless his heart, selects hisMagic Mikejazz routine.
Im happy to report its just as hilarious the second time around.
Rashad and Emma choose their week one cha-cha, which is fine, but also: Why?
The real standout is Normani and Vals encore dance.
They perform their construction-themed salsa with two very big enhancements: Bruno and Len.
BRUNO AND LEN, YOU GUYS.
In the least surprising news, I love this show.
The five of you are weird.
All of this is to say, lets wrap this competition up.
THE 24-HOUR FUSION DANCE CHALLENGE
David Ross and Lindsay ArnoldFoxtrot/Salsa Fusion, Living by Bakermat feat.
Alex ClareLet the gushing begin.
These two have to stay friends after this, right?
They perform a predictably and wonderfully crowd-pleasing fusion number, and then its the judges turn to gush.
David and Lindsay bring joy to the dance floor, and joy is important.
No more sweating it out in the rehearsal room with Val.
Girl, you had it perfect for a while.
And perfect is how Normani and Val go out.
Their Argentine tango/Foxtrot fusion shows off all of Normanis strengths: performance, passion, andthose legs.
Carrie Ann tells Normani she was born to dance and she was born to win this competition.
Robin ThickeTheres no cuter couple on season 24 than Rashad and Emma.
They continue their Tour of Cuteness with a stroll down memory lane via tear-inducing photos of their time together.
(By the way: My love for Len grew tenfold when he admitted to hating the word journey.
You go, Len Coco.)
Emma knows this partnership is bigger than the show.
Can Rashad just stay forever?
Im being told that no, he cannot.
You guys: Its business time.
I told you this season was weird.
The final two couples standing are David and Lindsay (do you believe in miracles?)
and Rashad and Emma (if only Rashad could hold all of us like that as we cry).
However this thing shakes out, Im just excited that a new pro will be getting a Mirrorball.
Those guys work so hard and sparkly balls should be shared!
Remember when Erin announced that Rashad put in 362 hours of rehearsal time this season?
It looks like it paid off.
And it feels good.
Well,Dancingfam, thats another one in the books.
May your kicks and flicks stay right and tight over the break and your summers be full of sparkle.
