Why is it "derniere" with an "e"

Hi kitty Kelly,
I think I have found the example in a Kwiq -
should be dernière as the word it refers to is semaine which is feminine.
Hope this helps!
Hi Kitty Kelly,
I've had a look for the piece that you are querying but am unable to find it.
Could you quote the exact sentence and I will have another look for you and try to help out?

@Cécile: I am confused. Le dernier jour de la semaine seems correct to me because dernier refers to jour, right? You may be missing a dernière in your sentence.
Le dernier jour de la semaine. -- The last day of the week
Le dernier jour de la dernière semaine. -- The last day of the last week.
Oh, I missed the underlining at the end as part of the sentence. Of course. It makes sense now. Sometimes things are just too obvious. :)))
