4. How much did Lou spend in "petty cash" to bring Rhoda and Phyllis to Minneapolis?

Answer: $800

Lou is concerned about Mary's depressed state, so he pays for Rhoda and Phyllis to visit Mary. Rhoda finally helps Mary release her pent-up emotions.

Answer: Little runt

Mary is quite cordial on the phone, until her last comment: "You little runt!" Then she angrily hangs up the phone.
6. Sue Ann accepts a job as a "practical nurse" for an elderly gentleman who is going on an extended vacation. Where are they going?

7. What does Lou say to his coworkers as he hugs Mary, right before the big group hug?

Answer: I treasure you people.

Lou's eyes are filling with tears as he says these emotional words, which prompts the others to join in the memorable group hug.
8. Who is the last person to join the group hug?

Answer: Ted

Ted hunches his shoulders, stifles sobs, and awkwardly joins the hug. Although he will miss his coworkers, he said earlier that he didn't feel so bad that they all got fired while he kept his job. Good ol' Ted.
9. What song does the cast sing together as they leave the newsroom for the last time?

Answer: It's a Long Way to Tipperary

The song was Ted's idea. At the end of his newscast, he read the first line of the song as a sendoff to his colleagues at the station. Lou begins singing the song as everyone exits the newsroom for the last time.
10. What does Mary do right before she exits the newsroom at the end of the episode?

Answer: Turn out the lights

This was a very effective closing shot. Mary takes one last look around the newsroom with a shaky smile, turns out the lights, and leaves the room. The closing credits begin rolling over the dark newsroom, and you can hear the cast singing "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" in the background as they leave WJM forever.
