Marty Kaan (Don Cheadle) and Jeannie Van Der Hooven (Kristen Bell) made their last deal on House of Lies tonight, as they wrapped up their business in Cuba and tied up some loose ends in the dark Showtime comedy's fifth season (and series) finale.

The cutthroat consultants had been competing for a major deal in the burgeoning economy of Cuba—did they manage to close? And did we ever get any closure in Marty and Jeannie's relationship? Read on to find out how the show's final episode, shot on location in Cuba, wrapped everything up.

First things first, the business: after competing against Monica for the biggest deal of their careers, the Kaan & Associates team looked like they were about to emerge victorious. Well, that is until Marty decided he didn't want to do the deal after all, and chose to keep his company for himself...and his new wife!

Yep, Marty proposed to Jeannie after deciding to turn down the deal, and then they got drunkenly married with help from the party of another, much more planned wedding. 

After some dancing, they got even drunker and stole a car. Well, Jeannie stole the car, and Marty just went along with it, and they drove it to the beach and promptly passed out on the sand. 

It didn't necessarily feel like a complete series finale, but there was plenty of closure to be had. Plus, the Cuban locations were absolutely gorgeous. What did you think of the episode? Was it an acceptable series finale? Leave your thoughts in the comments below!
