Jennifer Garner [3] is going through The Office [4] finale stages of grief: crying, laughing, and a good "Beets, Bears, Battlestar Galactica" quote. The actress recently finished the NBC series with her kids [5] — Violet, 14, Seraphina, 11, and Samuel, 8 — and it left her (understandably) in tears. She tried to capture her feelings in a video, but ended up recording herself in slow-motion, which kind of feels appropriate for 2020, doesn't it?
"My kids and I have spent months piled on the couch working our way through 'How to Behave as Grownups' 🙅🏻♀️, aka #TheOffice," she captioned her Instagram video on Aug. 24. "Apparently we are sensitive people—the finale hit us pretty hard. When I realised I'd accidentally shot my farewell testimonial in slo-mo I realised: your Monday might need this, too."
Her instincts were right: we did need this! Clearly, show finales have a special place in Garner's heart. Just last week, she shared an emotional moment with the Schitt's Creek cast [6] as she reflected on her final Alias days. But it's not goodbye, it's just see you later! Fans will always have those last episodes to go back to.
