So, who does Erin actually end up with? Spoiler alert for the three people who haven’t streamed it yet: Pete Miller (or “Plop” as the show affectionately calls him). He’s the new guy in season nine, and he’s basically the human equivalent of a perfect avocado—ripe, reliable, and not trying too hard. Their connection is like finding a parking spot right in front of the store on a Saturday. It just works.
Pete and Erin bond over their shared weirdness, like wearing ugly hats and understanding that sometimes you just need to yell into a trash can. He doesn’t serenade her or make grand gestures. He just shows up, listens, and doesn’t take a three-month break to “find himself.” It’s the romantic equivalent of a solid roommate who does the dishes without being asked. And honestly? That’s way more attractive than any boat trip.
Why This Feels Like Real Life
Let’s be honest, most of us have been through the Andy phase: dating someone who talks a big game but can’t follow through. We’ve also survived a Gabe situation—a relationship that felt like a chore, like folding fitted sheets. And when you finally meet your Pete, it’s less fireworks and more a warm, comfortable “oh, there you are.” That’s the kind of love that doesn’t need a camera crew. It’s the joy of finding someone who doesn’t make you perform.

The ending is perfect because Erin finally gets what she always wanted: stability and genuine kindness. She and Pete move to Florida, and he helps her start a candy business. It’s not a movie proposal with a ring pop. It’s two people who decide to build a life together, one weird hat at a time. That’s way more satisfying than any dramatic rooftop kiss.
