The Outsider Episode 10 Season Finale was wild. The show started out at a furious pace and didn't relent until we saw the story come to a conclusion. A great way to end the season and possibly leave things open for a second season.
The initial gun fight was more intense and saw more characters die than I expected. Jack, controlled by El Cuco, was not taking prisoners and was killing anyone he could on sight. Jack is still trying to fight and intentionally gets bit by a snake in order to wrest some control back from El Cuco. As his last act as himself, Jack walks down into the fray and kills himself.
We are left with Ralph, Holly, Claude and Yunis left alive after Jack finally kills himself. Ralph, Holly and Claude head into the bear cave where El Cuco has been hiding. The confrontation with El Cuco was intense as Ralph and Holly try to defuse the situation. That was until Claude rolls in puts a bullet into El Cuco and also triggering a cave in.
Every tries to leave the cave but Ralph sees a vision of his dead son and realizes that this isn't finished. He goes back to El Cuco and we see that he wasn't quite dead. After shifting through all of the faces he had taken, Ralph smashes in El Cuco's head with a rock to finally end things.
Now everyone is left trying to figure out what to do. They quickly come up with a cover story and find a way to exonerate Terry Maitland, who had been killed after being framed by El Cuco at the start of the season.
At the very end of the episode we get to see Holly, who seems to think she may be infected by El Cuco. After seeing an image of Jack in her mirror, she checks her neck but thankfully there is nothing there. On our last glimpse of her though, we see a scratch on her arm. Is she infected by El Cuco?
I'm interested to see if this show does try to have a second season. It's based on a one off book by Stephen King so I expected everything to get tied up with a nice bow but we definitely had a few loose ends with Holly and I'm guessing we are going to see her return for another season.
