Alastor played the long game, making a deal with Vox that guaranteed Rosie's would be broken, knowing Vox would break his own, making use of the deal Charlie made with him as insurance, all to ensure he'd be the strongest sinner yet again. Al is an absolute genius.

The way this ends with Val running Voxtek and Angel going back to him full time out of fear and guilt is so heartbreaking. Next Season's gonna be the roughest for him yet, for sure.

I think my favorite moment was seeing the fear on Alastor's face at the start and end of the Shok.wav chase, Al was probably thinking "ah right, I'm the strongest Sinner but I can still die."

The fact that Val and Velvette technically did save the day is hilarious to me. 😂 They got Vox out of the way, and then were the ones who joined at the end and ensured the weapon was destroyed.

Angel's choice is heartbreaking, but I kinda get it. If he was forced to attack his friend while being brainwashed, who can guarantee it's never happen again?
