And then, because he felt so good, and because he could not stop himself, he leaned into the silent microphone and exclaimed in a voice meant just for Mama, "This is the Year of Billy Miller." (4.5.76)

For Billy, it's been a year of growing up. And after a whole year devoted to becoming an older and better version of himself, our guy has made a lot of progress. Did you notice how he takes his dad's idea of this being "the Year of Billy Miller" and makes it his own? He's come of age in loads of ways, and in the end he's looking at that one year as a pretty cool time of going from "babyish" boy to suave second-grader.
