It is easy to understand why Rain Brown from Alaskan Bush People felt that the season finale wasn't the happiest episode. The entire Wolf Pack has been going through the motions as its members mourn the loss of patriarch Billy Brown. The end of the show was the culmination of everyone's feelings as they celebrated their hero and father.
Even though Rainbow is the youngest child of Billy and Ami Brown, she has shown grace and wisdom throughout the past year. Overnight, Rain has had to step up and be a strong support system for her mother. When Rain was younger and living in Alaska, she and her sister Snowbird could always be found playing with their dolls together, but now she has become more fascinated with makeup. After her 18th birthday, Rain eventually wanted a bit of independence. She was finally able to build a home of her own on the family's North Star Ranch.
Before the Alaskan Bush People finale, Rain took to her social media to share her thoughts on the past season. She encouraged followers to tune into the finale even if it was going to be a bit sad, telling fans it was an "emotional episode." It meant a lot to the youngest Brown that the fans tuned in since it was challenging for them to film so soon after Billy's passing. Rain hinted that due to some logistics, the episode did get a little messy, but thankfully it all worked out in the end. Check out Rain's post below:
Alaskan Bush People's followers could understand why Rain would feel sad. During the season, cameras caught Billy talking to his youngest daughter about his dream to mine for gold on the mountain. Even though Billy didn't live to see his dream come true, Rain was able to purchase some old mining equipment which allowed her to search their Washington mountain for the precious metal. Each first without Billy will hit the Wolf Pack hard, but they will prevail if they stick together.
This season of Alaskan Bush People ended with a loving tribute to Billy. The Brown family took part in the 40 Day celebration, which is a traditional memorial service held by the Alaskan natives. Usually, the 40 Day celebration honors the loved one's fortieth day after death. It's believed that after 40 days, the soul is allowed to enter heaven. Even though the reason behind the celebration was sad, the family raised the ranch's flag and truly honored Billy.
