[2] When you picture the leads of 2 Broke Girls, Max Black and Caroline Channing, you likely picture them in the iconic yellow and red waitressing uniforms they wear throughout the series while working at the Williamsburg diner.

[3] A lot of the show's most iconic scenes take place while they wait tables there. This is where Max and Caroline meet each other for the first time.

[4] As many fans will recall, the iconic duo first meet when Caroline gets a job at the diner. At first, Max hates the idea of working with Caroline, who was spoiled and inexperienced. The two eventually grow to become inseparable.

[5] In the final episode, they seem to have finally outgrown the diner. During the season 6 finale, the pair meet with their boss Han to give their two-week notice, although it's more of a one-week notice since they also ask Han for the week off.

[6] Seeing the girls leave the diner is bittersweet because so much of the show takes place there, but by the finale, it's time for them to move on. As Caroline tells Han, - "We're phasing the diner out of our lives. I have a stylist now."

[7] Perhaps the biggest plot twist in the 2 Broke Girls finale is the return of Randy Walsh, a recurring love interest for Max throughout seasons 5 and 6. The pair first meet in season 5, Episode 13, when Max runs into him at a restaurant while she and Caroline are visiting Hollywood.

[8] The pair quickly hit it off. It's clear that they have strong feelings for one another, but the relationship is far from smooth. They break up on several occasions. Randy doesn't think they can make their long-distance relationship work out.

[9] So, Max is understandably shocked when he shows up at the end of season 6 to try to win her back. At first, she is hesitant to believe him because he's been so unreliable in the past. But then he tells her he's moved to New York and proposes.

[10] It's hard to know if Max or Caroline is more excited about the engagement. There's an adorable scene with Caroline jumping up and down with shock and joy when Max shows her the ring.

[11] Since the show ended after that episode, we're left to assume that Max and Randy finally settled down together. So, we can assume from the ending that Max and Randy live happily ever after.

[12] But what about Caroline? Well, fortunately, she's in a good place by the series end, too. In the finale, the girls are attending the premiere of a movie made about Caroline's real-life riches to rags story. The film makes Caroline feel more like a star than ever. "Oh my God, look at all this!"

[13] And as far as her personal life goes, things seem to be going well with her boyfriend Bobby. The pair meet in season 6 when Bobby gets hired as a contractor to make renovations at Max and Caroline's dessert bar. Their relationship faces some challenges throughout the season.

[14] Bobby's pushy mother prefers him to be with his ex-girlfriend, Jessica. However, Bobby stays by Caroline's side, and though they aren't engaged by the end of the show, Max tells Caroline, "See, Caroline, you got your wish. We're both with someone."

[15] However, there is a slight hiccup when Max and Caroline's love interests meet at the end of the finale. It's clear they don't get along. We don't know how that would have affected their relationship moving forward.

[16] But, as we all know, Max and Caroline's friendship is the most central relationship in the show, and as long as they're in each other's lives, things will probably work out just fine for both of them.

[17] When the show begins, both Caroline and Max are just barely scraping by on their waitressing jobs. Their struggle to make ends meet is a continual theme throughout the show, hence the title. But by the end of the series, things are looking a little more promising for Max and Caroline.
