Note - to speed things up, here are the rest of my moves for the season after 215; I don't think Sirius can affect any of them at this point, beyond the conditional in S5E10. (And I'm not entirely sure he has enough moves to get to that point, but just in case ...)
Sirius plays, then: S5E08:Develop a Show: Flee. Assign to 8:00 PM slot. Attach the Cheeky Friend and the Krakatoa Instant Coffee Ad; leave the last slot open. 31 Paper goes to re-runs;use the Spin-off to save Medical Drama Mainstay.(Sirius doesn't have any Ads, so he can't beat me to the punch and take the show.)
Sirius plays (?), then: S5E09:Attach a Star: Medical Drama Mainstay to Flee (in its open slot).
Sirius plays (?), then: S5E10: Conditional: if Sirius9121 has not yet dropped out,D&B; take the Viewers. If Sirius9121 has dropped out,Attach an Ad: Conspicuous Watches to Ultimate Fainting Championship (in the open slot).

One Show remains on the board:
Spoiler: The Board
And we turn toRIOTonce again.
Spoiler: Sirius9121's Network
Sirius9121has decided to Drop and Budget, taking the Viewers. As the third to do so,RIOTgains⭗1.
Farrenis the only one left, and he's posted his moves for the rest of the Season, so I'll resolve them one by one.
Spoiler: Farren's Network
First, he developed the last remaining Show on the Board:
Spoiler: Flee
Spoiler: Rerun
TPNtook a U-turn fromand putting31 Paperas its new 8pm Show. However, it's not all doom and gloom for the old cast as TPN announced aFleefor 31 Paper, meaning theSpinoffheads towards the Green Room.Medical Drama Mainstay
The Show costs$5mto develop but will generateof income.$1m
Next, he attached the very same Star back:
Spoiler: Flee, again
now co-stars inMedical Drama Mainstay.Flee
This is followed by another attachment:
Spoiler: Ultimate Fainting Championship
is now a sponsor ofConspicuous Watches.Ultimate Fainting Championship
And that's everything on his list, so he decided to Drop and Budget. There's only money for the last to go out, soTPNreceives$2m.
Which means, everyone has now dropped out of the Season! Here's the order of passing:
Order Network Choose… 1stSCN $10m⭗52ndTV3 $8m⭗33rdRIOT $4m⭗14thTPN $2m
We're now ready for theSeason Finale.- vincentw

Season 5 Finale
It all comes down to this. Which network will emerge victorious? Let's find out!
There are two parts of scoring here: the regular Season 5 scoring and the endgame scoring. To streamline the process, they will all be combined to one table.
Of course, we have to have a little bit of suspense. I'll highlight each network in turn order and bring on their final total.
Let's start withSCN.

Post-game discussion
That was The Networks! Thank you for playing all the way through the end. Despite a couple of delays I'd say that it went at a reasonable pace; I'd thought it would have taken two months to complete.
The Ad deck ran out near the end so some earlier Ads resurfaced, like the coffee one. That's not the case with the other two; there are still Stars and Network cards that no one has seen.
My plan after this is to revamp the autoplay process because it didn't go as well as I'd hoped. So much for not making dumb decisions, haha. I know that I can't account for everything but surely "take any leftover Ads and Network cards when you're the only player left" should be one of those things.
