Thought the same thing. Seems like the logical thing to do.

I guess were just supposed to assume his wife died naturally but still would have been nice to get some closure there.

Ole Pizz tried to make the ending an artistic character driven ending just like season 1 and let me down again. Kept waiting for something juicy to happen and here I sit longing for more.

Lot of sky high expectations for a season that was always a little bit mediocre.

Bar fight scene
Mr. June’s testimony
Hoyt conversation
Dungeon reveal
Meet up at the end

I thought those were good scenes, there were some uninteresting ones sprinkled as has been the case with the whole season. Overall I thought the sequencing between periods was tedious in this season and they picked the wrong actress for Amelia.

It wasn’t a bad ending, it just wasn’t mind blowing. It basically took what felt like was this big conspiracy for 7 episodes and boiled it down to Hoyt was a drunk grieving father and husband (not some pedophile satanist like in season 1), his daughter was insane and classism validated their paying for a junkie’s child with whom to play house, James was the only seemingly evil person of the bunch and he was offed rather quickly last episode, and everyone else got as happy an ending as they could have hoped for.

In a way, I think it kind of thumbed it’s nose at the weekly conspiracy theorists as the ultimate truth was really underwhelming compared to what the reporter was thinking it could all be tied into. What felt like fan service with the season 1 nod now feels like a way of saying sometimes a mystery is just a self contained mystery and it doesn’t have to tie into anything else (which isn’t as satisfying for a tv audience but I digress).
