Aku is ready to kill Jack but he can't decide how to do it. Many of the people whom Jack helped over the years show up and attack Aku's stronghold. They are mere gnats to Aku but they distract him. Jack gets free but then Ashi, in her new form, attacks Jack. She prevents him from getting to his sword. She and Jack fight while Jack's friends fight with Aku.
Many of Jack's friends are killed. Ashi finally pounces on Jack. He is absorbed into her form. He finds that she is still alive in there. She has given up all hope until he finally tells her that he loves her. Ashi reasserts control over her new body. She gets Jack his sword and then uses her powers to transport them back in time to the moment just after Aku flung Jack into the future.
Jack fights with and kills Aku. The day is saved. Jack and Ashi prepare to get married but on their wedding day she collapses. She cannot exist if Aku was killed in her distant past. She fades to nothing. Jack is left alone.
I have mixed feelings about this episode. I like it but it doesn't fully satisfy. I don't have a problem with the very ending. It seems appropriate for this show. I liked seeing all the characters who were in episodes from the first four seasons of the show but that part also felt a bit tacked on. It didn't make a whole lot of sense.
That's it for season 5. There are a few extras that I might check out but that's it for the episodes. It is a decent season but I don't think it compares favorably to the best of the first four seasons or even some of the good but not great stuff in the previous seasons.
