Again, structure feels like the seasons biggest problem.
Still, this episode is tighter than the last several thanks to fewer flashbacks within flashbacks.
Scott is at an event.
He emerges from his car coughing, meaning this is probably the end.
A fan gives Scott a homemade magic wand and says that the writer changed his life.
Scott seems threatened at first, but he shouldnt be.
The cough is much scarier, especially when it soon becomes bloody after Scott ducks into a bathroom.
Suddenly the wound from his shoulder, the one he healed after being nearly assassinated, is bleeding again.
Is the healing power of Booya Moon limited?
As someone knocks on the door, he keeps coughing, and the coughs sound bloodier.
The sinks go on and the toilets flush, summoning Scott to his healing place.
But before his assistant can break down the door, Scotts in the hall, looking almost 100 percent.
He goes onstage like a rock star to do a reading from his new book.
Then he coughs again.
They get Lisey to the hospital just in time.
Whatever Scott has is going to kill him, and soon.
The doctors never seen anything like it.
Hes held on with a 106-degree fever, but doesnt want to be kept on a ventilator.
He just wants to talk to Lisey one last time.
Why did Pablo Larrain shoot this emotional good-bye with half of Owens face obscured?
The camera is behind Lisey, looking over her shoulder.
Does it increase the privacy of the moment?
Does it highlight their closeness?
Its an awkward monologue that works better on the page, despite Moores best efforts.
No light, no spark, she intones, resigning herself to darkness.
Flash-forward to the present, and the darkness is about to get worse.
They have a hockey stick and Amanda is ready to use it.
The rain intensifies as Lisey reveals her thin plan: tackle Jim Dooley and get him to Booya Moon.
If only the show remembered that, too.
He sneaks up on the useless cop and shoots him through the window.
Darla, Amanda, and Lisey are waiting for him.
Suddenly, Jim is in the garage.
He goes to the circuit breakers, cutting the power to the house.
Jim puts on night-vision goggles and goes to the study.
He says he has other business than an exchange.
Hes there to kill her.
Its revealed that Jim and Cole knew each other from their time in a mental hospital.
Shes getting to him.
As she demeans his fandom, he loses more of his focus.
And then the lighthouse goes on, overpowering Jims night-vision goggles.
Lisey gets a jump on the blinded Jim and all hell breaks loose.
Darla and Amanda join in, swearing and screaming and swinging.
Its hard to make out whats happening as bodies hurl into each other.
Jim barely pauses until he senses his location has changed.
And then he stands up, revealing that hes not in Kansas anymore.
Does Jim Dooley know right away?
Does Scott Landons No.
1 fan know hes in a place that fueled and even healed his idol?
They yell at each other as Lisey quotes her husbandagain.
Why wont you share?
Share with the world!
While Jim is spinning in another rage spiral, Lisey yells.
She wants to introduce him to her shovel or the Long Boy or both.
Then she sees the monstrous creature on the horizon and says three simple words: There you are.
Scotts Epilogue
Its mentioned that the hockey stick that Amanda wields was signed by Patrice Bergeron.
He won a Stanley Cup with them in 2011 and was on the 2010 and 2014 Olympic teams.
