The final episode ofCloak & Daggers first season had a lot to accomplish.
First, Tandy and Tyrone had to save the entirety of New Orleans from Roxxons plague.
Tyrone needed to clear his name.
Tandy needed to clear her fathers name.
So under thebestof circumstances, resolving all of these arcs wouldve been difficult.
When Evita asks what, specifically, thatll do, her aunt insists that its the only way.
Her mothers being held hostage.
She leaves her mother to check in on Mina and her father.
On Tyrones end, hes still running from the NOPD.
Except the pair are immediately cordoned by NOPD, with guns drawn.
When OReilly asks why Tyrone doesnt just do his thing, Tyrone declines because there are too many people.
Thats when Connors arrives.
He doesnt waste any time explaining the situation.
He tells them Tyrone will kill OReilly, and Connors will kill Tyrone.
Thats the narrative that hell sell NOPD.
The department will accept the story without much resistance.
Mardi Gras will act as a cover.
And anyone thats touched by someone whos turned becomes afflicted themselves.
That puts Tyrone and OReilly in a match of high-stakes tag at the police station.
He has to protect and serve.
Tyrone diverts the zombified folks away from the officers, and teleports away into the ether.
Shutting them off is the only way to stop the growing number of turned.
But for do that, theyll need to find Scarborough to find out how to disable them.
So they head to the Roxxon building.
Scarboroughs an easy mark, and the women track him to an elevator.
He tells Tandy that Roxxons lost the ability to turn the valves off remotely.
He shares where its located.
Depleted and exhausted, the pair return to Tandys church.
Together, theyll save the city.
In the process, one of them will die.
Evita leaves them after delivering the news, but not before she and Tyrone kiss.
(Tandy says, If the city doesnt destroy itself, you should lock that down.)
Hes let so many people down before.
Tandy tells him that she needed it then.
She tells Tyrone he can have it back because he needs it now (although he totally doesnt).
But with their confidence in tow, Cloak and Dagger head out to the valve center.
OReilly gives them cover fire against the turned while they head to the core.
So he ghosts to make that sacrifice, but it isnt long before Tandy tails him.
And just that quickly, just that anticlimactically, the episode comes to an end.
Evita sees their victory on the news.
Mr. Scarborough is found in the elevator, lost in Tandys induced-purgatory.
Tandy shows her own mother the newspaper deeming Roxxon Responsible.
And now, it looks like Tyrone will go on to live in the church with Tandy.
That way they can watch over the city.
Id be lying if I said this finale wasnt vastly disappointing.
The stakes established in the last episode were high enough to introduce something truly special.
