Golden Boy Episode 13- "Next Question" Series Finale

So here is that last review of Golden Boy since this was the last episode in the series. I am so bummed that I will not see Theo James on my screen every week but hopefully we will see him on another show soon. Plus we all know he can rock a suit. On to the review..

Clark is assigned to desk duty still so Owen gives him his cold case file that we saw in the beginning of the season. This was Owen's first homicide case he worked which happened to take place on September 11, 2001 before the attacks. Most of this episode involves flashbacks to Owen on the job leading up to the attacks and after. His partner left the case to go and help with crowd control after the first plane hit and Owen continued to work the case. We later find out that his partner went into the towers to help people evacuate but did not make it out himself. We hear his message he left Owen on his cell phone. Clark works this case by himself mostly since everyone else is out working a live case. As he gets breaks- one being from his father; he pulls Owen in to get more information. Turns out that the one who was killed was case of mistaken identity and was never suppose to be killed. It was a drug turf rival conflict. One rival hired a hit-man to kill the other drug dealer and the man who was actually killed just looked a little to much like the drug dealer and was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Turns out his hit-man is linked to numerous unsolved murders over the year and the team ends up closed a bunch of cold cases. Clark gives Owen all the credit and Owen gets the collar and the promotion he deserves.

Meanwhile, Arroyo's wife finds out that he was having an affair but not with who. She gives him a suitcase and tells him not to come home. This makes him lose control. He tries to take Clark's case after the hit-man break so he can get his promotion. He tells Clark he will give this to him or he will release the tape of him giving Natasha the money to leave the city. When they leave to get ready to make the arrest Clark punches Arroyo and drags him into a room and handcuffs him to the pipes so he can't go. When Owen ask Clark where Arroyo is, Clark lets him know that Arroyo will be sitting this one out.

At the end of the episode Deputy Major Holbrook makes an appearance while Margo and Clark are having dinner. He tells Clark there is one last thing he can do.... and he pulls a gun out and points it at Margo and shoots. Clark tries to jump in the way but the screen goes black and the series is over. My guess is this is where Clark may possibly get his limp but I also think Margo could have died here because Clark is alone in the flash forwards. I guess we will never know.

I am sad that this series is over and I think it got poor advertising and that is on the network and directors. They premiered it at a horrible time and day. It just never had a real chance. Let me know your thoughts on the show.

Revenge Season 2 finale- "Truth"

Episode 21- "Truth Part 1"

This season finale is a two hour finale so the title is split into part 1 and 2. I will try to do my best on this review but if you didn't see the episode it was very jamb packed!

The show picks up with the huge black out that ended the previous episode. Charlotte has just told Daniel that she is pregnant, Conrad is getting his campaign ready and Victoria is at the Stowaway with Jack. Carl is out of town with his grandmother. Jack tells Victoria his whole plan on getting revenge. Victoria in turn goes and tells Conrad that Jack and Ashley have been working against him.

Emily and Nolan find Takeda's body. And Emily realizes that is was Aiden that killed him. Aiden tells Emily, that Takeda's has been using her all along, that Takedas fiancee was on flight 197. 

Regina and Declan are trapped in a bank lobby, while the power is out and Declan realizes that Regina is in love with Charlotte. Regina plants money in Declan's coat and bruises her self to show Charlotte later on in the episode that Declan is all wrong for her. Victoria finds out that Charlotte is pregnant with Declan's baby. 

Conrad hires a man to bomb Grayson global. This is a major campaign ploy and a way to show his voters how he reacts in a disaster. Conrad had sent Jack a message from Ashley's phone telling him that he found the computer and where to meet in Grayson Global. Emily rushes to Grayson global to save Jack, because she knows about the bomb now. Everyone receives a message saying "long live David Clarke". Then the bomb goes off. 

Episode 22- "Truth Part 2"

Emily rushes into the building to save Jack, she sees a man lying on the ground, but is rushed out by firefighters before she can see who it is. Jack shows up at Nolcorp and asks Nolan how he knew about the bomb. Emily tells Jack that Declan was in the building and he is in the hospital. She helps him get a uniform so he can sneak in without being noticed. Declan tells Jack he is fine and that Charlotte is pregnant with his baby, so he cannot leave. 

Nolan goes and visits Declan in the hospital and Declan tells him that he has to have heart surgery. Jack comes back to find Nolan sitting in Declan's room with an empty bed. He shows Jack a video Declan made of Declan saying goodbye. Declan died. Jack goes frantic, he has nothing left to lose now. He goes to the Grayson's and steals a gun. He threatens Victoria, but decides that it is a worse punishment to make her live. Victoria thinks about telling Charlotte about Declan but doesn't. Jack goes to Conrad's speech for governor. Emily rushes to find Jack before he kills Conrad.

Daniel finds out that the bomb was all Conrad's doing. Conrad tells Victoria that there is no initiative,and in fact it seems like he is the one controlling everything. Victoria is pissed because she thought Daniel was in danger the whole summer, and it was her husbands doing.

Aiden is captured by the police. But he is later released and they go after Nolan instead. There is a video they show him of Padma calling him a terrorist. 

Daniel shows up at Emily's house where he finds Aiden, they get in a fight where Daniel is pushed into Emily's desk and knocked over and he sees a gun. Later, Daniel comes to the Conrad's speech and he has blood on his shirt cuff. Victoria is sitting at home watching the election results, when her door bell rings. She goes to answer it and it is Patrick we assume, we never see his face. 

Emily locates Jack and she rushes up the stairs to where he has the gun pointed at Conrad. She says that he can't do this, Jack says that this has nothing to do with her. She proclaims that it has everything to do with her. She steps in front of the gun and says that she should have left him out of all this. And she begs Jack to really look at her and says he must have deep down know all along who she was. He does and he flashes back to memories of Amanda when she was little. Then Emily looks at him and says "I am Amanda Clarke".

Have to wait till September to get answers but at least it left on a good note, except for Declan dying. There are so many story lines to get answers to. I am interested in finding out how that will happen. Will they pick up right where they left off or will we get another time jump again?

Episode 22- "Leaders Lead"

Just a forewarning the ending of this episode may possibly be the saddest episode yet.
This episode starts out with Kelly waiting for Tara in a grocery store parking lot. He causes quite a scene with many bystanders. Casey and Halle seem to have reconnected pretty hole heartily.

The mans name is Clay White that Tara also did this to. They had a fun time and went in different directions. When the company had to downsize Tara made the claim against him. Kelly ask him to come forward and help him.

Dawson tells Mills that she loves him and that she wants to know when to move her stuff in.  Casey goes to Halle's clinic and meets her for lunch. I can't quite figure it out but something just seems fishy there. They have lunch outside and talk about life some more. She basically tells Casey that she still wants to be with him. 
Kelly and Clay go to Tara's work and Kelly threatens to take Tara to criminal court or she can take the charges back, quit her job and they never have to see each other again. Later that day Chief informs Kelly that Tara has recanted her testimony after him and quit her job.

Casey and Kelly find her in the locked medicine cage unresponsive and badly burned. They fight to get to her and when they get to her they grab her and barely get out of the building.

At the end of the episode the whole team is at the hospital waiting, we see Casey go and talk to the doctor after a moment he breaks down and starts crying- Halle didn't make it. Mills goes to him quickly.

The three of them get into Malcolm's building and pose as different characters- Oliver as himself, Digg as a security guard and Felicity as a burger food deliverer. They manage to get the location and Felicity plants a bug on Malcolm's computer at the same time.
