Just because... 

 

[TrashMaster G 17630]

I had a dream last night that in the finale Paige and Henry's younger brother - just a middle schooler - blew Philip away when he found out he's a commie spy.  

Not sure what I should be more worried about - That I dreamed about the show or that I made up a new character in my dream.

It happens.

Well, here we are. Who lives? Who does? Who tells your story? 

 

Prediction - Paige gets killed somewhat by accident, caught in wrong place wrong time. Stan kills Phillip and Elizabeth is super singly caught and goes to jail. 

[Don Johnson 4757]

Is it just going to be roughly an hour long episode?  Feel like we need at least 2 hours.

[Upgrayedd 5821]

Phillip saves Stan from his girlfriend who is working for the center.  They all go into witness protection.  The post-script where are they now shows that Phillip runs a small business in Iowa, Paige is a stripper, the boy plays hockey in Kamloops, and Elizabeth dies from lung cancer.

[JimmyHoffa 1188]

Keri Russell was on Kimmel last night. She said that she hoped the audience enjoyed the ending as much as she did and that the creators went with the ending they had thought about for a long time. 

Can't wait.

I would enjoy that.

[Don Johnson 4757]

Elizabeth escapes back to the USSR only to see her country collapse.  Philip dies helping her.  Paige helps the FBI with the little bit of info she has and stays out of jail.  Henry lives a normal life.

[Player 4576]

Stan finds the secret garage, and caves Philip's skull in with a hammer. Then he decapitates Elizabeth with a sickle. 

Roll credits. 

Brother. 

[JimmyHoffa 1188]

-Stan catches Elizabeth with the help of Paige

-Henry gets drafted by expansion San Jose Sharks

-Phillip returns to Russia, marries Martha and the co manage a grocery store. After a passionate, sex crazed night, Martha stabs Phillip in his sleep, fade to black.

[Skipper 6209]

Paige dies, Philip turns himself in, Elizabeth escapes back to Russia but is imprisoned by those loyal to the Center, Stan lays it all out for Henry and Henry disowns his family/refuses to speak to his father, Stan tries to get a deal cut for Oleg but Oleg gets stuck in American prison.

[Tuco 5084]

I'm going with a dark, but not too bloody, ending. 

Phillip stays behind and does some prison time, which is mitigated by helping the FBI stop the KGB plot.

Paige does prison time, and there is an implication that she was working the Congressional intern. 

Henry hates everyone.

Elizabeth escapes to Russia. 

The theme has always been a question of loyalties.  Philip prioritizes family over country.  Elizabeth prioritizes country over everything.  In the end, Elizabeth is condemned to the hell of her choosing: a return to the USSR but without Philip and with her kids hating her.  Then the KGB kills her.

Stan, after the realization that his secretary, best friend, and possibly his girlfriend, were all KGB agents, decides to go into a different field.

[PilotsError 2324]

I think she's his wife now.

I have bad vibes for Oleg.  I think the last time we see him he has the thousand yard stare in a jail cell.

What I think as well. Stan will be the guy shooting Philip.

If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention. [/Ramsey]

[CooterBrown 18033]

Paige is killed. Phillip turns and goes to federal PMITA prison. Henry is adopted by Stan and learns about his body from Matthew.  Elizabeth escapes to Russia and on arrival is promptly executed Nina style which is considered a proper "retirement package" for Soviet spies.

 

[FWD 297]

With their cover blown, all the minor storylines of the past season go out the window. Therefore, I predict they jump forward again, 1 or 2 years.

The whole family is scattered. Elisabeth is back in Russia, caught up in the political turmoil there. Philip is still in the U.S., on the run from Stan who is still tracking him. Paige is in jail and Henry is in college.

Who the hell is Mo Ryan and why do we care if she's seen the finale?

[JimmyHoffa 1188]

She's a TV critic for Variety or some shit. You don't have to I just liked that she was surprised and liked it. 

[BigOrange1 6471]

i really like the idea of philip gaining some redemption in the eyes of stan by tipping him off that rene is kgb.  hope that happens.

[TexArcher 38076]

This is gonna be a bloodbath.

Let's go!!!

[RPM 26360]

[LongestHorn 759]

I am so very much in.

[TexasMan 10989]

It is time 

[TexasMan 10989]

Good. Leave Henry out of this.

[elfenix 34339]

Good. Leave Henry out of this.

He's barely been in the show anyway

I meant I'm glad for his character (since he's innocent in all this), but less screen time wasted to get him also works. 

Also, bubye Oleg. 

[TexArcher 38076]

Nice symmetry with the parents on both sides realizing they'll never see their sons again.  Brutal.

[RPM 26360]

Phillip: The FBI is coming.

Paige: I don't understand.

It's 4 words and you're a Soviet spy. What's so hard to understand?

[Radical Larry 28664]

Oh shit. Here we go.

[TexasMan 10989]

Poor Stan. Right in the feels.

[Radical Larry 28664]

And boom goes the Renee dynamite. 

[TexArcher 38076]

HOLY SHIT.

[TexasMan 10989]

Damn. Andrea got her cover blown. 

[RamjetFDO 10578]

That was the best sequence of the series.

Stan fucked up, though, letting them go.

[TexArcher 38076]

Thought for sure Liz was gonna shoot him when he had that gun lowered.  

[LongestHorn 759]

I'm afraid he did.  I do not understand his decision there.  He must have a plan.

[Radical Larry 28664]

Hell of a song choice here. 

[TexasMan 10989]

From Quarterflash to Dire Straits

[TexArcher 38076]

"Brothers In Arms."  So freaking perfect.

[RamjetFDO 10578]

Bye Henry

 

[elfenix 34339]

Except father Andrei described them and Aderholt recognized them immediately, so they're getting caught at the border

 

 

The question is if the message gets passed to Gorby

 

 

 

[LongestHorn 759]

ok, see you next weekend Dad.

They are great at taking songs used in classic Miami Vice scenes and using them even better.

Yea they spoiled that in the previews of this ep. Stan seeing the sketches of them. Wish they hadn’t.
