This one perhaps ends up being less than the sum of its parts. We should be racing towards a conclusion and we kind of do, but by now there's so many loose ends that there's no way of satisfactorily tying them all up. Characters end up dropping dead all over the place, the Niko plotline has turned into an unnecessary distraction to the important stuff, Harry puts in an incredibly poor showing of protecting Charity which renders that plotline pointless, and Galvin makes a noble sacrifice that leaves a bad taste in the mouth and has possibly been reset anyway.
The final confrontation with the bad guys, in which Alistair and Fiona meet their maker and Macy pulls a last minute rabbit out of the hat, is effective but the ending, with the god complex that Macy has been developing over the last few episodes coming to a head, does not feel like a sensible way to end your penultimate episode.
