The audience was treated to two performances apiece from each of the finalists, Buffalo and Wasp.
Or, in this case, three of them.
Jokes aside, it was also a surprisingly emotional night for everyone.

Ora then called out her husband, Oscar winnerTaika Waititi, who was also seated in the audience.
This prompted McCarthy-Wahlberg to direct attention to her son, Evan, who worked on the crew this season.
As is tradition, as the runner-up, Wasp went first.

This year, the panelists won’t be on Santa’s Naughty List for their bad guesses.
And so concludes another year and another zany season ofThe Masked Singer.
The show returns in the new year with season 13 starting on Feb. 12.
