This final season was far from perfect.
The shortened episodes in total and individual lengthalmost made it feel like an afterthought.
In its place, they find cops with guns drawn.
He punches a cop before taking three bullets.
Sam is stuck under the piano that Gideon threw at him last episode.
The camera pans up and back down again, revealing him back in Sam form.
So hes a ghost stuck in an echo inside a dying mans head.
There are so many questions.
Gideon gets back up and takes another bullet before overcoming the second cop.
At least the officer gave the gang time enough to escape to find a dead Gordie.
Ellie is going to stay there and protect Rufus while Kinsey and Tyler flee with the Creation Key.
He almost throws a guy down the stairs too!
Back outside, Kinsey draws a motorcycle on the pavement, and it becomes real!
Just as Gideon is about to catch up, Josh rams into them with his car.
Gideon isnt fazed by flames.
He growls his way out.
Of course, Gideon is too strong.
Does that take away its power?
Back in the house, they cant get into the chest, but Kinsey saves the day.
She uses magic to defeat magic, drawing a door on the chest with the Creation Key.
And they fish the Alpha Key out.
Tyler notices that the hole in the ground got smaller when Gideon fell in with two keys.
Tyler takes the Head Key and throws it in, closing it further.
They can end this forever by tossing all the keys into the hole.
Bode doesnt like it at first, but hes outvoted.
He finally agrees, but he needs one more thing.
He knows whats happening.
Bode hugs him first.
And then they all do.
They laugh and tell Rendell about everything that happened in Matheson.
Its a really graceful, touching ending that almost recallsField of Dreamsin its one more catch with Dad aesthetic.
Who wouldnt want one more chance to hang out, smile, and laugh with someone theyve lost?
This was real magic, says Rendell.
This was all I ever needed.
Bill Heck sells the moment beautifully.
And so does Connor Jessup when he says, The past is always with us.
From here, the final episode plays out with a series of happy beats for characters that fans love.
Its a cute beat and a nice promise of potential future happiness.
Uncle Duncan comes home.
Bode warms up to Josh, who has no memory of the specifics about Gideon.
Now everyone can move on together.
Do you guys hear that, asks Bode.
Kind of all over the place.
Perhaps the biggest problem was actually Gideon.
Who were the season MVPs?
After several stalled productions, including an entire pilot shot for another data pipe,Locke & Keyis over.
Maybe that door isnt truly locked yet.
Thanks for reading this season!
