Series finale

Originally, the finale for the sixth season was promoted as a cliff-hanger. A plane crash which left all of the main characters (with the exception of Lily) stranded atop a mountain with little hope of being discovered was reported to end with no resolution, as the story would pick up at the onset of a subsequent season. However, once NBC decided against renewing Crossing Jordan for a seventh year, fans were treated to a much more satisfying ending. Medical examiner Jordan ultimately confronted her held-in feelings for police detective Woody and finally professed her love. Furthermore, all of the characters were, to their shock, rescued in the final moments of the series. (This came as a relief to fans, who were generally given the impression they'd be forced to stomach a cliff-hanger and wished to view a more appropriate conclusion to the series. ) The ending provided fuel to rumors that producers recorded two endings to the finale: one in case the series would be renewed, and another in case the series would not be.
