WATCH: Luke Macfarlane Goes Back in the Closet for 'Smash' Finale

While everyone was busy buzzing about Behind the Candelabra Sunday night, NBC's Smash ended its run with a two-hour series finale.
“I don’t want [viewers] to think they are going to be left hanging, because they won’t be,” out showrunner Josh Safran said previously of the Broadway-centric drama's inevitable ending. “The season has a beginning, middle and an end… [And] it just gets better and better."
He wasn't kidding! Titled "The Nominations" and "The Tonys," the series finale episodes wrapped up both of Smash's shows-within-a-show with a smashing final bow — and a pretty gay one at that. Along with Behind the Candelabra's Cheyenne Jackson, out actor Luke Macfarlane of Brothers & Sisters fame appeared as Tony voter Patrick Dillon, a famous actor rumored to be gay. Thanks to his flirtatious interactions with star Christian Borle as gay composer-director Tom Levitt, we said farewell to one of the gayest shows on television with a surprise same-sex kiss.
Josh Safran told EW that Luke and his closeted character — who "is really gay," thanks very much — would have probably returned for the third season had Smash been renewed: "We were interested in a season 3 idea of Tom working with this man who he was in love with and [who] was in love with him but who wasn’t out. So he finally found the relationship that worked but there was this huge stumbling block." Damn.
