"Long Goodbye" is the 36th and final episode of Season 3 and the 152nd episode of Big City Greens overall.
Synopsis
When the Greens return Gramma and Remy to Big City, they are determined to delay their goodbyes for as long as possible.
Plot
Remy and Gramma Alice's time on the farm has come to an end and they are ready to return to Big City. While the rest of the Greens are saddened by this, Bill gets the idea to bring Cricket and Tilly along so that they can extend their goodbyes. Nancy decides to stay on the farm, admitting that the only reason why she liked going to Big City was because they lived there. Upon arriving in Big City, Bill, Cricket and Tilly are hit with déjà vu and Bill is revealed to still remember certain habits of the city. They stop by the farmer's market to sell their produce when they run into all their friends who happily buy them all and reminisce on their shenanigans.
Alice and Remy are ready to head back to their respective homes, but Bill convinces them to stick around a little longer. Meanwhile, Vasquez has set up a welcome home party for Remy and happily awaits his return, though he is oblivious to the situation at hand. Back at the Green House, Gloria is waiting for Alice's return so that they can sign some papers from the notary public, Merv Stampington. He ends up arriving and reveals that he is only interested in finishing his job until six o'clock when he can finally retire. It quickly becomes apparent that Bill, Cricket, and Tilly are prolonging their goodbyes and start holding Alice and Remy against their will.
Vasquez finally realizes something is wrong when Remy won't answer his texts. He heads to the Green House where he recruits Gloria who is also concerned for Alice's whereabouts and they head out to look for them with Merv getting dragged along. They find the truck and chase after them in a helicopter where, in typical Green fashion, they end up causing a lot of damage to the city. Vasquez finally launches a smoke bomb at them that causes them to end up back at the house. Vasquez reunites with Remy while Alice finally signs the notary, just in time for Merv to retire, and revealing that it was so Gloria could sell cheese. Bill, Cricket, and Tilly sadly depart.
As the family drives back to the country, the truck runs out of gas exactly 80 miles from both Big City and Smalton. They call Nancy to come and help gas them up and they admit that it felt wrong leaving the city as they missed all their friends and the environment. Nancy admits that she feels more at home in the country and suggests that they can move back to Big City while she stays on the farm in Smalton to look after it when their away, and the two can go back and forth living in both their homes whenever they want. Bill, Cricket and Tilly happily accept and head back to Big City. Cricket asks if this means they are city folk from the country, or country folk from the city, but Bill tells him that they are just the Greens, with Tilly remarking that all their problems have been solved.
In the final scene, at a cemetery outside of Big City, a gravedigger walks by a gravestone belonging to Chip Whistler and remarks to his dog that Chip was "the biggest jerk who ever died." He explains that Chip had to be buried far away from Big City because he was banned from the town. As the gravedigger reminisces about the family that Chip used to torment, a hooded figure, unbeknownst to the gravedigger, appears. The figure is revealed to be Chip Whistler, who faked his own death and is now plotting even bigger revenge on the Greens, promising that their troubles are only beginning.
