Recap: Season Finale

19 Kids and Counting "Flea Market Finale"...

• Jim Bob and Michelle gather the kids in the living room to announce their goal for the Duggar Family Flea Market: $10,000. Some of the kids are a little skeptical.  "A lot of the stuff I saw didn't look like it had a lot of value," says Jinger.
• "It's going to be all hands on deck the next few days to make this happen," says Jim Bob.
• 5 Days to Go... To get the word out, the family announces their flea market on a local radio station that both Jim Bob and Michelle listened to growing up.
• 4 Days to Go... The Duggars hold a donation drop-off. "Pretty much every car that pulled up to donate to the cause had someone in their family who had been touched by Arkansas Children's Hospital," says Michelle, who enjoys chatting with new friends.
• 3 Days to Go... Michelle and the little girls paint signs, while Grandma and the older girls make 600 cookies to sell. "I was trying to teach the girls to measure everything, but they were determined just to throw it together," says Grandma Duggar. Outside, Jim Bob and the boys organize the big items under the tents.
• 2 Days to Go.. The girls head out to the tents to organize the smaller items, while the guys work in the warehouse. Michelle gets a little sentimental when she comes across a pair of Josie's old shoes. "It definitely makes me miss having a baby in my house," says the mother of 19.
• Jessa  convinces her mom that it's time to part with them. "I'm not completely heartless," says the fifth oldest Duggar. "I just don't like when people are being a pack-rat."
• 22 Hours to Go... While sorting through racks of clothes, Jinger comes across a few of her favorite shirts and quickly claims them before someone else does.
• 1 Hour to Go... Just before the gates are opened, Josh and Anna make a surprise visit...all the way from Washington D.C. "We snuck up on them because we wanted to surprise them," says 4-year-old Mackynzie, who is thrilled to see her relatives.
• After exchanging hugs with the entire family, the eldest Duggar and his wife put on their "Buy Used Save the Difference" T-Shirts and get to work.
• In addition to a traditional flea market, the event also features a live auction, a bake sale, concessions, and a  carnival. One of the a carnival activities is a dunk tank appropriately named" Dunk A Duggar."
• During the auction, auctioneer Johannah Duggar liquidates the girls' supply of ping pong guns for a total of $80, but the boys end up raising $122 from the sale of their knives.
• After 6 hours, Michelle adds up the total raised, and Josie holds up a giant check to reveal the final amount...$18,471.50! The Duggars and all their helpers  almost doubled their initial goal. The money will be donated to NICU families at Arkansas Children's Hospital.
• At the end of the show, Jim Bob and Michelle make a big announcement...Jessa Duggar is courting! (Click here for details.) She and her special someone are getting to know each other via group text, which is monitored by Mom and Dad. "When a guy's interested in one of our daughters, our whole family checks him out," says Jim Bob.
