In the calm prior to the final two episodes of the season, with nearly the entire world swallowed up by nothingness, Luther (Tom Hopper) and Sloane (Genesis Rodriguez) decide to get married. The episode offers us a bachelor party, the wedding and reception, and a nice family moment that even Ben (Justin H. Min) gets let into. We also see Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman) remain a bitch and refuse to reconcile with Viktor (Elliot Page), and a drunken Five (Aidan Gallagher) gets a glimpse of something which will impact the final two episodes of the season, the journey into the Hotel Oblivion, and beyond. Aside from the fact the all reality is ending, it’s a fun and lighthearted episode, although dark times aren’t far away.
