The show ends with Lily and Damian looking at each other.

That's my summary of the first disc in the Lily and Holden set. The first four episodes aired before I really watched ATWT regularly. The 1994 episode was familiar though at that time I seldom got to see full episodes, all I recall was I was rooting for Holden and Lily to reunite and Damian to move on to someone else.
