Hi Itasan ! I think I never heard the word 'denouement' being said, and only saw it written once or twice. Conversely, I've heard 'season finale' many times, referring to the last episode of a TV show.

Finale has a slightly different meaning than denouement. Finale refers to the concluding part, especially of a musical composition.
Denouement refers to the final resolution or clarification of a dramatic or narrative plot. This noun is based on the verb “denouer” or “untie the knot” in French. It also refers to the outcome of a sequence

Both mean the final theatrical scene.
Denuement = untie the knot, id est, suggests the plot unfolds at the end with no question remained unanswered.
Finale means simply the last scene with no such extra connotations as that of denuement.

Just a clarification following the last post from Inchoateknowledge : the spelling is really 'denouement' not 'denuement'. The word 'denuement' exists in French but means something totally different : it is a synonym of destitution, penury or extreme poverty. Just thought I should mention this...
