Kate has been his clear weak point since the beginning, and Amaru took advantage of it every time. In saving Kate from dying, we see the most vulnerable side of Seth. It’s almost impossible to even talk about the two of them separately in this episode, since Seth and Kate revolve around each other, and have been for most of this season. Seth comes to her and transfers his blood to her. Facing off and finally destroying Amaru on her own, gaining back her agency and her body. She defends them and speaks for them as no one ever did for her. Amaru does to them exactly what she never wanted to do, she enslaves and puppets them to her will. In the face of culebras killing one another under Amaru’s control and being slaughtered, we see Santanico rise to the occasion. While it’s always felt a little self-serving in the past, it seems he’s serious about it when it comes to Amaru. However, we’ve seen Carlitos push her towards embracing her title. It’s easy to see how someone who has been abused and used, who has been a basic figurehead for a culture based on enslavement and servitude, might shy away from being a seat of power towards the vulnerable masses. She rejected it, despite caring about the culebras who worshiped her and appearing as a deity to them. A reluctant goddess, one who felt more like a slave than a queen, she was always unsure of her title as Diosa. Satanico has one of the most inspiring journeys. Struggling between who she’s forced to be and who she wants to be, she’s been absent most of the season, but she’s back with a vengeance. If it’s not Malvado and the Lords, it’s Carlitos. She’s been enslaved and used by people for centuries. He went from the loose cannon, the one that had to be supervised, into a self-made man. Richie spends much of the episode alone, running from the middle of the desert and ending up in Xibalba before coming back through the gate with Kate, but he’s come far.
He’s always had a special connection to his abilities, and even as far as culebras go, he’s always been special. We never see Richie fully deal with this knowledge, but it doesn’t seem so far-fetched all things considered. He connects the hallucinations that Richie saw in the convenience store in the pilot to Xibalba, hinting at the possibility that Richie is part Xibalban. He simply appears to Richie, like a spirit guide, and reveals his potential. In Richie’s case, it might not even really be him. His largest role was in guiding both Santanico and Richie towards their destinies. Carlos’ character has been kind of an enigma this season, but never more than in this episode. While captured by Amaru, we see him visited by Carlitos in a vision.
His abilities forced him to hone in on that weird side of him that’s he’s always had to keep stifled. Since Richie’s change into a culebra, it’s undeniable that he’s not the same guy he once was. And this finale saw huge changes in all of them, changes that take their characters down a completely new path. They’ve always kind of swirled into the story as the main characters. While all of the characters are important, and they’ve certainly evolved within the series, I want to talk specifically about Seth, Kate, Santanico, and Richie. Until we watch the episode and we get the big reveal. It seems like a blank slate, to start off where they began, sure it’s nostalgic, but it’s an ending that speaks little of the actual changes of their character. They’re different people than the Seth and Richie we met in season one. They’ve lived through Amaru, and culebras, and Venganza, and the gates to hell, and heroin addiction, and becoming culebras. They’re older and wiser, and this is an almost picturesque scene. The Gecko brothers are sitting in their car, preparing for what they know best, a bank heist. The episode itself is told as a frame narrative almost, with the first and last scene set in the future after the events of Amaru.

Keeping in mind the potential ending of the series after this episode and the uncertainty of its future, this episode can easily paint itself as a bookend, with a potential stinger that leads to potential future miniseries/ventures. Instead of talking about the whole episode, let’s talk about endings and beginnings.
But, that was before I lost my completed recap in a dumpster fire of technological mistakes - or maybe it was fate. Here’s to getting rich and fat, and dying in the arms of a beautiful woman.įull disclosure, this was originally going to be a very different article. Those of you who read my typical recaps know that I like to get pretty detailed in the subject of recapping the episode.
