Agreed. It felt tonally at odds with the show's 11 o'clock spot, when they toss out the prepared number and sing the original lyrics of "Welcome Home." They basically say: winning doesn't matter, we must honor the truth about PTSD. Only then will we move on. And then, they win, and everyone becomes an overnight star. It was just wrapped up in a bow, and felt counter-intuitive, creatively, to plaster this contrived finale atop so much earned emotional catharsis. Say, a talent scout sees "Rose's Turn" and gives here a gig at a club, with Gypsy cheering her. Well, not quite. But tonally it had something like that going on

They lose the song contest, though, and don't appear in the movie.
