What are we even doing here, people?
Oh, right: the case.
The murders aboard theS.S.
Should we get to those answers now?
When we last left our passengers, Viktor Samss No.
And, yes, that game definitely involves the bomb Sunil and Jules happened upon below deck.
The game is this: The bomb is set to detonate in one hour.
There are no lifeboats left.
Two characters do make some interesting choices when it comes down to it, though.
Celia Chun, forever an icon, refuses to play a game in which only the rich can win.
Her morals mean she ends up winning all nine seats.
I would watch an entire series about Celia Chun.
The second character who really shines here is, surprisingly, Tripp Collier.
I mean, they are two complete horror shows, but look at Tripp!
Wearing a sensible cardigan and keeping his family intact!
Our little coke fiend with the double-popped collar and terrible investing skills really won me over in the end.
Honestly, its the perfect thing to steal!
The At-Sea Scooby Gangs deducing uses several callbacks to finally figure out this mystery.
Well, it pays off here.
Its why Danny was killed.
So, who was Danny talking to that day on the pool deck before the Winnie incident?
Imogene cant remember because shes only a stupid thief!
The team grabs the phone from Father Toby and goes through the footage.
They find the unknown crew member, and suddenly, they realize that Viktor Sams is Hilde Eriksen.
Imogene realizes that Viktor Sams is Hilde Eriksen is HER MOTHER.
Hilde drops that wild accent, and its true: She is Kira Scott.
Right in front of our very eyes the entire time.
She wanted to make Alexandra fearful before she died to pay her back for dropping the Collier case.
She wanted to make the Colliers suffer, too, and she succeeded.
Imogene is shocked but definitely not shocked enough.
The second is definitely: When did Kira have time to give herself a cute new blowout?
Imogene never turned around until after the explosion.
Memory is a motherfucker, she remembers Rufus wisely imparting.
Like, she isnt wrong, but also … murder is bad!
Not even a little bit.
Imogene hasnt given up, either.
Its time to put this thing to bed once and for all.
Imogene and Rufus finally have the one-up on ol Viktor Sams.
Imogene looks sort of upset, but again, heres where one final Rufus/Imogene scene wouldve come in handy.
The mother Imogene thought was dead for 18 years is alive and a supervillain!
Shouldnt we, like, talk about it?
They very quickly find blood in the snow and severed limbs everywhere.
A new case, indeed!
And who might be behind it all?
Well, Imogene, Rufus, et al.
didnt know everything about what Kira was up to.
If you were wondering why she was so catatonic as theVarunawas going down, now we know!
As Anna takes in what shes done to her mother, Kira appears.
Okay, now I want a season two, if only to ensure Anna doesnt hurt my sweet Tripp!
I dont care about that pile of limbs protect Tripp at all costs!
The Aforementioned Other Details
One element that was super underbaked again, too many characters!
is this sort of ongoing love triangle between Imogene, Jules, and Sunil?
Theres nothing really between Imogene and either of these guys to make me root for one or the other.
Is this more of a love square?
Are they into each other, too?
Leila gets a nice little send-off to her character arc, too.
She wont do that to Anna.
The greatest reveal in this entire finale: The winterwear is just as fabulous as the summer wardrobes!
Costume designer Mandi Line treated us so well.
