But the ending ofExtractionleft me dreading The Traitor.
Not doing so would have been a disservice to the character, show, and fans.
I want to trust you, says Eph, to which Zach responds, But you dont.

I mean, teenagers who nuked New York City dont really deserve trust in my book.
Zach hasnt slept in days and wants to save the talking for later.
When Eph leaves, Quinlan is waiting outside the door to get the scoop.
Yeah, sure, we paid the price, but it was worth it, Sanjay opines.
Tell that to Setrakian, Nora, Jim, and Angel.
This causes Dutch to lose it, beating the crap out of his face.
Actually, thats not such a bad gig.
Hes startled by a noise, so he goes to investigate and spots Creams guy, Marcus.
Theyre going to help him keep the nuke safe.
While theyre there, Gus and Marcus decide they might as well steal a bunch of silver.
This angers Roman until he realizes this isnt your classic heist.
Damn, Gus sure knows how to recruit.
Hed make a hell of a college basketball coach if this vampire apocalypse ever ends.
(Post-vampire apocalypse, she shouldnt be a boxer.)
He gives her some alcohol to relax (hey, thats Ephs move!
), and Dutch says she doesnt understand how Sanjay can justify his actions.
Are we any better?
Are you sure were doing the right thing?
He responds, Whats the other option?
Its the best hope that we have.
As they bond over missing Setrakian, Fet caresses her face and they hold hands.
Sorry Eph he stole your move and your girl.
The human traitor is surprised and thankful.
The half-strigoi threatens to drink her if Sanjay doesnt give up The Masters location.
Theyre identical…but everyone remains unconvinced of Zachs loyalty.
I want to believe him, says Dutch.
Theres just something in my gut telling me not to.
And, we soon learn, for good reason.
The father-son duo wish they could see some stars, but one of them ruined that for everyone.
Dad, Im so sorry, says Zach.
I know I did a horrible thing.
And I wish I could take it back.
Zach continues to be the worst by proving that he cant even open a soda can without cutting himself.
They go inside to clean up Zachs hand, but some blood is left behind on the ledge.
Upon their return to Zachs holding room, Eph has a contemplative look on his face.
Zach is officially busted.
I think you did it on purpose, Eph says of his sons cut hand.
I think you came here to betray me.
And like a true psychopath, Zach quickly flips the crazy switch and shows his true colors.
He came here to learn the location of the nuke.
Also, feelers are tracking his blood and are now likely on the way.
Even worse, The Master is going to let Zach decide what to do with Eph.
Nothing could be worse than already being Zachs father.
Goodbye, Zach, he somberly says.
You made your choice live with it.
Eph locks Zach in and tells the others they need to go.
Theyre headed to the Federal Reserve, where Roman and Gus are bonding.
Dont you need something to dream about?
For Gus, its Aanya, who I completely forgot existed.
Or like Im going to at the end of this whole thing.
Roman makes light of the situation, asking for Aanyas address so he can console her upon Gus death.
Gus cracks a smile, saying thats whathesgoing to do.
I guess he doesnt plan on dying anymore.
The rest of the team arrives at the Reserve to go over the plan.
Whoever triggers the nuke will be stuck in the blast zone.
Thats not a factor, explains Quinlan.
I dont plan to survive.
He takes the trigger and will attempt to lure The Master into their trap.
They head out and stop a little short of the Empire State Building.
Its time for Quinlan to go at it alone.
Good luck…all of you, he says in his probable final goodbye.
Dont worry at least we get one nice last bromantic moment between Quinlan and Fet.
And as Quinlan walks off, Marcus remarks, That one has quite a pair of balls.
Dutch cracks back, Actually, he doesnt.
Damn, low blow, considering the guy is about to sacrifice himself!
Next up, they go to see Sanjay and Stella.
Stella is instantly dispatched by The Master, but that doesnt mean hes buying Sanjays story.
He repeatedly and gruesomely pounds the humans head into the wall.
Yep, hes super dead.
Oh, youre fed, kid.
Quinlan arms the bomb and walks into the Empire State Building for his last stand.
Abby is soon joined by a large group of strigoi.
Is this the best you’re able to do?
I shall never give up my pursuit of you.
Brace for impact, warns Fet.
What did you think?
Were you buying Zachs lies?
What are you expecting from the series finale?
