I TOTALLY CALLED IT! I KNEW FISK WAS INVOLVED!!! I also knew Eleanor was dirty. I bet she set Jack up. Anyways, not sure how they'll finish all this up in one episode. I am loving the show - way more than I thought I would due to Kate, Yelena and Maya - but now I’m semi-dreading a big cliffhanger because I’m so into it. I loved the Yelena-Kate scenes this episode. I’ve had a lady crush on Florence Pugh since seeing Little Women and she is so funny and charismatic. She was also the best part of Black Widow along with David Harbour IMO. She was definitely the best part of BW. She reminds me of an angry little kitten.

All I know of Kinpin is that he lost his wife in Spiderverse movie so I wondered if Laura was his wife who wanted out and Hawkeye helped her and they fell in love. And the watch is Kingpin’s which links her to him. This is my theory at the moment. Did you never watch Daredevil on Netflix? They are using the same actor, so it shows to reason that it's the same continuity. His wife's name is Vanessa. She was an art dealer who he fell in love with. She knew about his crimes, but didn't care. She was eventually arrested in connection to him.

I was hoping for Clint to bring Kate, Maya and Yelena with him for Christmas as they’ve all lost family -assuming Kate and Eleanor fall out- and Laura, with whatever her background is, would get it and welcome them. But with only one episode left I don’t see that happening so much. I love the found family trope. I would love it. By god, if Clint doesn't make it home for Christmas, I'll be pissed. Let that man have some time with his family!

My love for Yelena knows no bounds. The macaroni scene was amazing. The plot barely moved forward other than the “reveal” that everyone has been guessing for weeks but I don’t even care, I just want to hear Yelena talk about Kraft box dinner with hot sauce all day long.

Agreed with everyone else that I love Yelena as well. I finally watched the Black Widow movie last weekend so that I had context for this week's episode.
I wish they would have cast Florence Pugh as Natasha initially because I love her 283592 times more than ScarJo who I can barely tolerate (hence why I took so long to watch BW lol). I would have been totally into shipping her with Cap then.
Anyway. I didn't realize there is only one episode left! Wtf. Too fast. I was pretty bored with this last episode aside from the Yelena stuff though. But I will say I enjoyed the scenes with the LARP guy in his apartment with the dog too.

Well Florence was only 14 when Iron Man 2 came out in 2010 (ScarJo’s first Marvel movie) so that would have been tricky haha but I get what you’re saying! The actress is so charming. Anyone who can make me love Amy March is frankly a miracle worker.

I just REALLY despise ScarJo to a level of intensity that is probably too much for a celebrity I don't actually know. Lol.

I think the mac n cheese scene was great - this series is really hitting the campy humor well. I'm not sure about the storyline though. It is pretty flat.

I think the storyline of Yelena's vengeance is compelling but the other villains I just haven't cared about at all. I know everyone loves Echo but I am very meh about her and the entire mafia. I just don't care about them or Kate's mom and whatever the fuck is going on with her and the Kingpin or whatnot.

OMG WILSON FISK! When he said “the big guy”!! I agree, yelena was the best part of this episode lol. Now I’m thinking Eleanor having jack arrested is just all part of the ruse. She never would have thought yelena would tell Kate. And so if the contessa put yelena on the trail and Eleanor hired her, are Eleanor and contessa working together too? I cannot effing waaaaiiitttt to see what happens!! I am dying to know how Laura fits into all this.

At this point I’m really only in it for the potential payoff of Clint making it home just in time for Christmas with Kate and/or Yelena in tow. If it ends any other way I will be bitterly disappointed.
Agree that I don’t care much/at all about Kingpin, Eleanor, Echo (although she is a cool character!), or Valentina.

So like Eleanor contacted the Contessa to hire an assassin to kill Clint.

(I don't actually think there is a connection, I'm just making a terrible joke)

Loved the finale! I got almost all my Christmas Hawkeye wishes. I can’t wait to see where Kate and Yelena pop up next in the MCU, aka new BFFs for life.
And as a huge Mockingbird fan in Agents of Shield, very interested to see where they go with the new MCU potential Mockingbird.

Can't wait for Echo. Since we didn't see a body, I'm going to assume Fisk made it.
And the end scene. My goodness. I really wanted them to close up on someone (Yelena? Old Steve? Sam and Bucky? Who cares!) in the audience being all, well that was shit.
Love that he brought Kate home. H was really worried they were going to have Yelena kill him for a minute. Thankfully that did not happen. I really hope they make a Young Avengers movie in the near future. They've worked on building the team with these shows.

I enjoyed the absolute shit out of the finale. This series was a great combo of jokes and serious. So many feelings when yelena let Clint go. Cause I’m pretty sure he would have let her kill him if she really wanted to. He seemed to stop fighting back. Do we think maya really shot Fisk? Like it was a way for mcu to avoid having a bloody gunshot death on screen, or do we think it was a warning shot? I’m leaning towards she actually shot him, she was pretty determined to avenge her father. Also me at seeing Adam pascal in the end credit scene

pianolove I did the same thing in the post credits scene lol. I shouted "ADAM PASCAL!" and my H was like wtf. I was mostly happy with the finale. I am glad Yelena didn't kill Clint but I was a little bummed they didn't become friends right away, lol. I know that was hoping for a bit too much though. I thought that Kingpin did actually get shot because it would be weird if she just fired a warning shot, but stranger things have happened I suppose.

When I was in college, a bunch of friends and I would have RENT parties, where we would each take a part and dance and sing that characters part. (I was always Joanne.) So as soon as I saw Adam Pascal, I texted my friends and asked if they had seen him too.

I just think he'll survive it. He's incredibly strong and resilient in the comics.

I finally finished this series.
“Do heroes arrest their mom’s on Christmas?” FUCK YOU BITCH. Seriously what a shitty thing to say. Eleanor is the worst.
I freaking love love love Florence Pugh. I want to be friends IRL. They could not have done a better job in casting her for this role. Absolutely perfect.
I enjoyed how this ended. I love the Larpers in the end getting their costumes on, then inviting Jack to join them 😂
