{{quote|''"I can't tell you just now what the moral of that is, but I shall remember it in a bit."<br />
''"Perhaps it hasn't one," Alice ventured to remark.<br />
''"Tut, tut, child!" said the Duchess. "Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it."''|'''[[Lewis Carroll (Creator)|Lewis Carroll]]''', ''[[Alices Adventures in Wonderland (Literature)|Alices Adventures in Wonderland]]''}}
 
The episode ends with a moral ''a la'' [[Aesop's Fables (Literature)|Aesop's Fables]]. Either the last line of the episode summarizes the whole point of the episode, or it leaves the viewer with the issue that the writers want them to ponder. Fifties sitcoms often end on the "Gee, I learned my lesson," type of moral, while ''[[Law and Order (TV)|Law and Order]]'' leaves you pondering.
