The season finale returns Nicky (Olivia Liang) back to the Chinese monastery and a final confrontation with Zhilan (Yvonne Chapman) who has also learned this is the location of the forge where the weapons were imbued with power. We do get some final twists here as power isn’t in the forge and the power of the weapons eventually dispersed equally between Nicky and Zhilan. Nicky’s choice to release the power into the world, rather than horde it for her own use, proves to be the key to defeating Zhilan.

While his choice leaves him with literal blood on his hands, it does cement the pair’s partnership to work together to acquire the remaining weapons.
