Alexis and her “Galapa-guy” Ted actually break up long before the series finale, in Season 6, Episode 8 “The Presidential Suite.” While they struggled to make their long-distance relationship work, when confronted with the reality of Alexis finally coming to the Galápagos, they realized that they no longer had the same goals. Ted was offered the opportunity to stay on at his research lab for three years. Unfortunately, his dream job comes at the same time that Alexis’ publicist career is finally taking off after she successfully spun the disastrous Crows premiere into a stunt ensuring the movie’s cult status. Neither would let the other halt their respective career momentum, so they agreed to end things amicably if bittersweetly, especially upon reflecting how much they’ve helped each other reach exactly this point.
Now, for the first time, Alexis is flying solo; she’ll be returning to New York City without her family to lean on, nor a handsome and rich boyfriend to show her the high life (and potentially kidnap/ransom/trade her in a game of high-stakes poker). What’s more, she’ll be solely responsible for making it in the city—but the fact that she’s got an in with Interflix, and will be visiting their NYC offices, is a good place to start. Despite getting emotional at the realization that David’s wedding would be the last time the four of them would share their cramped space at the Rosebud Motel, Alexis is exhilarated with her future prospects. (And whatever apartment she finds in NYC on her modest budget will have a lot less square footage than their motel room.)
Where Does Stevie Budd End Up?
After starring in Cabaret last season, Stevie was reinvigorated to figure out what her purpose is. With Johnny’s blessing, she quit the motel and handed over her co-owner stake in order to pursue her new passion… of being a flight attendant. That ended before she got on her first flight, as she realized just how shady Larry Air was. With her proverbial tail between her legs, Stevie went back to Johnny to ask for her job back, but he was not just relieved but overjoyed to welcome his co-owner, knowing that he couldn’t handle the business without her (and especially not with new co-owner Roland).
Stevie is the one to recognize the value in franchising Rosebud Motels all over the continent; and when they get suited up for their big pitch in New York City, despite her nerves, she makes a good showing as a fledgling businesswoman. Ultimately, she decides to stay behind in Schitt’s Creek and continue to oversee the original Rosebud Motel. She didn’t want to move to New York City, she tells David, but she wanted to know that she could.
What Happens to Jocelyn and Roland Schitt?
Jocelyn is probably secretly relieved to not have to wrestle over control of the Jazzagals anymore, but will still miss having Moira as a reluctant confidante. While the Schitts are staying firmly in the town named for their family, no doubt Rosebud Motel Group happenings will throw them on plenty of business-trips-slash-double-dates with the Roses in the future.
