'''Gilligan the Goddess''' is the 98th episode of Gilligan's Island and the 30th episode of the Third Season. It aired on April 17, 1967. This was the last episode of the series.

==Synopsis==
While [[Gilligan]] is working on a SOS sail on the beach in the [[The Lagoon|lagoon]], [[King Kaliwani]], a [[natives|native chief]] with nearly endless titles, comes to [[The Island|the island]] looking for a beautiful girl he calls a "[[Winomi|White Goddess]]." The girls run in fear from him and his warriors, but the [[Professor]] finds a lighter in the chief's out-rigger canoe that proves he has contact with the outside world and can get them rescued. Now, Mary Ann, Ginger and Mrs. Howell are competing against one another until they find out the "winner" is to be thrown into a active volcano! The men stand their ground to defend the girls, but Kaliwani and his men come back after departing a bit less friendly; they fire a deadly blow dart that kills a potted plant. Faced with an unavoidable impasse, the Professor and the [[Skipper]] however scheme to trick the Chief into settling for one of them disguised as a woman. Unfortunately, the only one who can successfully pass as a woman is [[Gilligan]], who is completely indignant at the turn of events. Named "Gilliana," Gilligan learns that Kaliwani wants to keep him as a bride for himself and throw a dummy into the volcano. Mr. Howell and the girls try saving Gilligan with magic acts and USO acts, but Gilligan manages to escape on his own, leaving his disguise behind in the [[Girl's Hut]]. When the superstitious king discovers the wig and clothing, he becomes terrified, fleeing the island with his warriors.

==Trivia==
* This was the last episode of the original series.
* The opener splices scenes of Gilligan on the exterior set and the interior set with the same SOS sail.
* Gilligan uses the fish net from [[Our Vines Have Tender Apes]] to capture King Kaliwani and his guards when he thinks they're savages.
* This is the third episode with [[Bob Denver]] appearing in drag; he wears Ginger's evening dress and Mary Ann's gingham dress in [[Home Sweet Hut]] and Mrs. Howell's wardrobe in [[And Then There Were None]].
* Although Mr. Howell claims he has a magician's suit, he could have just found it in the magician's trunk from [[It's Magic]]. However, it's never explained why Ginger has two USO costumes; one of which just happens to fit Mary Ann, especially since they would be too recent to be in the Silent Film crate from [[Castaways Pictures Presents]].
* King Kaliwani calls out "kikikanda" which is either the name of his guard or a word meaning "guard."
* When Gilligan finds the men in drag, he says he'd hate to judge "this beauty contest;" he's possibly remembering the one from [[Beauty Is as Beauty Does]].
* The ending shows the Chief fleeing from the Island while Mr. Howell and Gilligan try to persuade him to come back; it is usually the castaways begging at the end for someone leaving to take them with them.
* It's revealed in this episode that the Skipper has been keeping a journal of the events on the island.
* In the last scene, the hammocks are missing from the [[Boy's Hut]].
