Given how Patterson clearly knows those bunker tunnels better than anyone and has clearly planned a series of discovery contingencies, I have to wonder if her sad "I'm sorry"s through the closed-door window were about having failed everyone (as it seemed to suggest) or about having to leave everyone behind and captured while she slipped out yet another way from under all that fiery doom. Wishful thinking, perhaps, especially near the end of the series when writers are most likely to give some characters heroic ends, but... maybe...
Tasha gets points for knocking the smirk off Madeline’s face at least.
it's so bad! But I need to get to the ending. So just skipping over all parts with Madeline at least makes it go faster. Terrible season.
Generic TV Show 101: Kill off a main character on the show's final run for emotional effect. I was kind of sad with Pattersson's death, after all she (and Rich) are the reason this show kept on being half-watchable, I guess it's bold of them to kill their Deus Ex Machina, as our dear William was basically the answer to each of their problems throughout every episode and seemed to know everything about everything (except social skills) - I wouldn't be surprised if she's still alive, but I wouldn't be if she's really dead as well.
Zapata breaking Madeline's composture just a tiny bit was satisfying, what a terrible character, I hate evil-for-the-sake-of-evil villains but I actually was impressed by how little baggage they gave to Madeline's actions and she seems to truly be just pure greediness. also her son is dumb as fuck how do you make a call betraying the head of USA's security through a call while inside the FBI's building?
I FREAKIN' KNEW IT! Ahh, I really did think that Boston would have teamed up with Keaton and Allie, since they needed someone with the hacking skills that neither or them had. It's just unfortunate that Keaton couldn't do anything since his family was being put in danger
But also... Why would the Czech police be speaking in English? Shouldn't they at least have started their announcement in Czech?

I was pretty much tuned out for most of the episode until the first death happened. Up to that point, the episode was so boring. It started to pick up once Jake was killed.
I guess, when it's the final season, you're free to kill some characters without any worry. It wouldn't matter if there's an outrage or whatever. Except, Patterson is probably still alive. She's the ultimate plot device in the entire show, there's no way the writers would start to make her the opposite of that, now, and just to kill her. We may have "seen" her "die", but I'm not convinced. Jake, on the other hand, yeah, he's dead. Furthermore, I'm expecting there to be this "grand" reveal that she's still alive, and that so is Edgar. If not, well, killing two major characters isn't bold or brave, it's merely because this is the final season and it won't matter.
After watching the previous episode, I happened to think that Gregory is playing his mother and that he got injected with the ZIP from the canister that Kurt and Jane neutralized. I still think that, now. How that/he will come into play, I don't know. But the whole situation surrounding that was suspicious. One moment he's leaving Tasha a message and the next he's tied to a chair, with a sack over his head. That may have just been edited that way on purpose, for some reason or another, I don't know. But I'm going to keep that in mind.
Anyway, this final season has become such a chore to watch but I'm going to endure it and stick through it. The last three episodes are probably going to be more exciting, in a broader sense, but I'm not sure if that will matter to me, at this point. Plus, as I've been saying, there's no way, when closing in on the end, it won't be super rushed. It already felt that way just a little bit with this episode. But I imagine it'll truly be rushed starting with the next episode and most certainly with the last two.
