After four seasons, Legacies comes to a close. The season had some ups and downs but finally delivered on Hope‘s (Danielle Rose Russell) big tribrid turn and returned several familiar faces from The Originals in “Everything That Can Be Lost May Also Be Found.” There was just one more thing fans were hoping to see. In the aftermath of the latest attack on the school, and the funeral for Ethan (Leo Howard), Alaric (Matthew Davis) considers closing the school much to the dismay of the Super Squad. Finding a familiar face in Limbo allows Ethan to move on to peace, Landon (Aria Shahghasemi) to get one more moment with Hope, and for the show to bring in Klaus Michaelson (Joseph Morgan) for a single appearance in the farewell episode.

Kung Fu – The Source

  • wiki: link

Kung Fu wraps up its Second Season with Nicky (Olivia Liang) and Zhilan (Yvonne Chapman) follow Russell Tan (Ludi Lin) through a mystical door to Narni…, er, the Source (which turns out to look an awful lot like some of the woods the show has shot in before). All three meet ghosts that hinder their path (although you wonder why ghosts are trying to prevent Nicky and Zhilan from saving the realm from destruction). Mia (Vanessa Yao) follows as well, leading to a three-on-one fight against the super-powered Tan in an attempt to prevent him from escaping the crumbling realm with his new power. While not all three (apparently) survive, Zhilan is giving a bit of a redemptive hero moment in what may be her exit from the show.

Don’t be in too big a hurry to grow up seems to be the lesson of “Fairfax at Night.” The bizarre misadventures of middle school best-friends Dale (Skyler Gisondo), Derica (Kiersey Clemons), Benny (Peter S. Kim), and Truman (Jaboukie Young-White) continue in the show’s Second Season premiere where camping out overnight for the release of Off-Brian’s (Timothy Simons) new Tennis Ball Shoe leads to all kinds of problems for the kids. Before the night each will have their own bizarre adventure leading them back to Dale’s house with no shoes but certainly enough wacky experiences to cover their first night outing as a group.

  • wiki: link

The penultimate episode of Legacies caps the gods storyline in an episode that features the death of several main characters who return at the end thanks to the help of Landon (Aria Shahghasemi), who is left with his own price to pay. As for the big fight between Hope (Danielle Rose Russell) and Ken (Luke Mitchell), which the show has struggled to properly lead up to points in the season, we get another swerve with Hope first having to battle Aurora de Martel (Rebecca Breeds) albeit in a far different manner than how her father would have dealt with her. In other spots, Cleo (Omono Okojie) embraces her role as a Fury to help with Ken’s final takedown.
