In "Thank You And Goodbye," high school graduation is finally here, prompting everyone to reminisce about how much their lives have changed over the past few years. Amy's relationships with Ricky and Ben weigh heavily on her mind, while Grace contemplates Jack's place in her life. Meanwhile, Adrian is ecstatic when an unexpected visitor knocks on her door. "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" stars Shailene Woodley, Ken Baumann, Greg Finley, Daren Kagasoff, Megan Park, Francia Raisa, Michael Grant, Cierra Ramirez with Steve Schirripa.
