And yet the episode does just fine without the Handymen, giving the supporting cast room to breathe and be fleshed out a tad more (though without any lengthy flashbacks).Ĭentral to the episode is the semi-secret romance between Marco and Connie, the latter of whom says goodbye with sign language in a way that suggests she’s going to end up in danger before the day is done. Notable in their total (rather than partial) absence from the episode? Nic and Worick. And the axe girl with the everlasting lollipop and funky manicure is unimpressed with the quality of opponents, calling them “a pile of crap.” Doug tries to get back to base, but gets an X-slash across the chest. But in the meantime, our look-in has concluded.Īs Corsica’s hunters (AKA the “Destroyers”) begin bombing the Paulklee district to dull Twilight senses, Delico leaves Monroe’s mansion to find his sister Erica and deal with her, with his colleague Yang tagging along. sequel? This episode gave no indication of a continuation, so we’ll just have to wait and see. Is he right? Are Loretta, Marco, Connie, along with Nic and Worick, all simply doomed? Is all we got, and all we’ll ever get as viewers, is a brief, twleve-episode look-in to this accursed world populated with wounded souls, beasts, and lost causes? Or is Nic wrong, and the fact none of the above characters end up dead for sure offer hope that things can turn around in a future GANGSTA. Nic flies through the rainy sky and delivers the nihilistic line up top. Worick lies bleeding out, remembering being told he can try as hard as he wants to keep up with Twilights, but they’ll always be different from him, and out of his reach. Hauntingly, Nina suddenly wakes up as soon as Worick’s bloodied body hits the ground, sensing he’s done for.ĭelico continues to trudge through the rainy streets with Heather searching for his sister Erica, and he finally looks up helplessly at her flying over the rooftops with Mikhail. It’s an exciting fight, but there’s never the feeling Worick or anyone else has the slightest chance. Worick and Miles set up an elaborate trap, but both are seriously wounded, and though Worick manages to get a sedative into Striker, Striker tosses him out the window. When the Destroyer Striker arrives, no normal or Twilight or steel door can stand against him. Marco sees the ghost of her father behind her as she speaks with his voice.Īs Nic backs up Christiano at Bastard, leaving Ally behind at the office, Worick prepares for a last stand with Miles to buy time for Daniel Monroe. Marco has given a lot to the Christiano family, and she’s going to see that he’s repaid for that leal service. So what does Loretta do? Strips down, puts on her work clothes and shoulder holster, and steps up to the plate. Marco, once a member of the Destroyers who are wreaking havoc on Ergastulum, laments he no longer has the strength to protect what’s important to him, or even save his girl. But all we get a heartbreaking flash from Marco’s POV of her smiling in bed, a perfect moment that may never come again.
Nic stops her, at later drapes a coat over her in the rain, and all she wants at this point is to seem some thing, any sign of what happened to Connie, even if it’s just a head or an eye. Connie’s grief-stricken grandmother whacks Marco with her cane, cursing him for taking yet more of her family.
One ending left open perhaps by design, was the Marco/Connie crisis.
It’s a dark, nihilistic and very open-ended finale for GANGSTA., and although I wasn’t expecting many happy endings, then endings we did get were ambiguous, and I felt that too much was left on the table.
