On a night chockful of season finales, there was one series finale in the midst. ABC said goodbye to 'Once Upon a Time' (0.5) after seven seasons. Once a powerhouse, the series managed to lose to every non-CW show in its timeslot. At the very least, it was steady with last week and didn't fall any further. At 9, the season finale of 'Agents of SHIELD' (0.5) matched its last result. The alphabet network capped off the night with a stable '20/20' (0.5).

CBS's 'Celebrity Undercover Boss' (0.6) tied last week's rating. It led into the finale of 'Hawaii Five-0' (0.7). The latter inched down from its previous outing. An encore of 'Blue Bloods' (0.5) closed out the night. 

Recently-renewed 'Blindspot' (0.6) rose a tenth for its season finale. The upward trend continued throughout NBC's night as 'Dateline' (0.8) similarily ticked up on the peacock network. 

Fox housed the two-hour season finale of 'MasterChef Junior' (0.8). It rose from its last episode and tied 'Dateline' for the top program of the night. 

In anticipation of the wedding, The CW aired a Prince Harry and Meghan Markle special (0.3). It performed significantly better than an average installment of 'Dynasty'. After flirting with some painfully low numbers, 'Life Sentence' (0.2) managed to rise a tenth.
