Well I'm glad we know Major got away (for now) and the heist was successful. That would have been way too many cliffhangers for next week.

I'm pretty sure Blaine won't kill Peyton, and still hoping Don E will figure it all out and kill Blaine. He could save her and the kids, that would be nice.

I guess the big war is now Dolly vs Enzo? Yeah that'll go well, they're all batshit crazy.

Clive needs a dance show.

Vivan: gets betrayed by FG soldiers Chase: gets betrayed by FG soldiers Major: gets betrayed by FG soldiers

It is almost like I see a pattern here 🤔

[u/SaberToothedPenguin]

I want to believe that Major being a major bad ass fore-saw Enzo trying to turn his men and told his men to actually fake betraying him as they wait for their opportunity.

Blaine doesn't need to die, Blaine needs to get so close to his goal and then see it all crumble away in front of him, then die.

Best lines of the episode

• 'Awww the rotting brain of a dead pickpocket ... This is the nicest thing anyone's ever given me'

• 'I'm really glad we are at this place in our relationship, where we can dig out graves together without needing to talk'

• 'One time!... I kidnapped you one time!'

Wow! One more episode!

• Liv’s opening monologue is back.

• It really bugged me that they don’t already have Max Rager. It turns them into super soldiers! Major should have given them some before the heist and the FG soldiers should have drank some before going into a war zone.

• I definitely appreciate seeing the three have one last big adventure. Although I agree with Charlie that the second half of the heist was a bit anticlimactic.

• So quick you might have missed it: Clive is not the father of Michelle’s baby.

• This might be kinda harsh but the blonde guy should have died before letting Blaine into the safe house. Don’t all of Renegade’s people know they’re putting their life on the line for the cause?

• I mentioned last week I didn’t want Liv and Major to get quickly thrown back together but I think the writers are setting it up nicely.

• What are your thoughts on the post-zombie cure world? Do you think we’ll get a flash forward next week? My thought is life expectancy will go way up, since zombie-ism will cure sicknesses and people can take the human cure right after.

• So far we got Liv beating up Blaine, Ravi went full-on zombie mode, Candy gets a happy ending (hah!), and Liv’s family has at least been acknowledged. Anything else on your Last Season wishlist? The return of Minor?

If Major dies I will be so pissed.

[u/RealityWanderer]

Alright, can anybody explain to me why Liv having the cure will solve everything? There still definitely going to be zombies who will be all "yeah, eternal life's pretty good, don't feel the need."

[u/GeniusRhino]

Damn everything felt so final yet perfectly paced and aligned with the upbeat tone of the show. Can't handle my favorite shows ending this year.

For anyone that's read the comic, Is that typical grave digger gear or a reference to the comics? I think I'm stretching on that one but it was nice to see.

Do you guys think the final episode will have the theme song? Longer episodes tend to cut it off but I'd like to jam to it one last time.

[u/VexMythoclastRegime]

It’s cool that Clive is helping them out so much even though what they planned was illegal, that cat lady was so weird 😂😂 and the racist security guard bit had me dying.

I’m really gonna miss this show tbh, I hope Lost Boys comes out soon, I need some more Rob Thomas. Luckily VM season 4 came out too. Major got super lucky damn. I’m surprised that the guy who plays Enzo is not actually French, he’s really good at the accent. This episode was super good imo. Liv in that dress though 😍

[u/TailzUnleashed]

So next episode is the final ever? Cause that build up was intense.
