The fifth and final season of Mayans M.C., commenced back in late May. It concluded on Binge lat last night. By late I mean the episodes start streaming at 8pm.
Like the previous four seasons, the final consisted of ten episodes.
Taking place in the same fictional universe as Sons of Anarchy, Mayans M.C. focuses on the rival motorcycle club.
Blow contains spoilers of the final episode, Slow to Bleed Fair Son.
So the lead up to (SPOILER) EZ’s death, included more deaths like the entire season. It felt like death after death, after death. Some of the deaths this season, you barely even got to k now the character, before BANG! They were gone!
EZ (the total hunk of burning love) had successfully led the Mayans through the final stretch of their war with the Sons. After EZ delivered a rousing speech to his brothers, he and the Mayans and the Grim Bastards descended upon a club where the Sons were partying, and they proceeded to shoot, beat or stab every Sons member they could grab.
EZ took the liberty of finishing off big, bad Isaac, who he chased outside and threw down a stairwell.
After the Mayans had celebrated their victory, Angel and EZ took a bike ride together, for the first time in a long time. Angel told EZ that, with the Sons war officially behind them, he planned to leave the club life behind and go someplace where he and Maverick could be safe.
That night, EZ, Angel and the rest of Santo Padre’s head members gathered around the club table, where Angel tearfully announced his decision to the group. Tranq also suggested patching in Nestor, for the way he put the club above all else and handled the situation with Jess — the presumed rat — earlier in the season.
…but the celebration was cut short when Gilly suddenly grabbed EZ and got him in a chokehold, while Nestor and the others held Angel back.
Bishop who had gotten a visit earlier in the episode from Kody/Katie, delivering a message from Creeper revealed that they all finally knew EZ was the real rat, and they didn’t believe for a second that Angel wasn’t aware of EZ’s deal with the feds.
So, in an especially gut-wrenching moment, Angel was handed EZ’s knife, and Bishop demanded that he prove you’re loyal to the club over blood.
EZ seemed to quickly come to terms with his own imminent death, insisting to Angel that this was the only way he and Maverick could truly escape the club lifestyle.
And Angel who had a gun to his head this entire time did what needed to be done, grabbing EZ by the shoulder and driving the knife into his stomach. He apologised the whole way through, and after Angel stepped back, the rest of the men in the room each approached and took their turn stabbing EZ, until it was finally done, and EZ was gone.
Then more blood was to spill. Bottles then headed to EZ’s trailer, where Sofía had been waiting all day to tell EZ that she was pregnant. Her smile faded when she instead saw Bottles at the door, holding an assault rifle that he used to shoot Sofía instantly.
Like all series finales, next up was a montage, we later saw that Bishop had taken EZ’s place as Santo Padre president the role he’d wanted all along.
There was a bright side, though: Angel got out, after all. He and Maverick looked out on the ocean together in the episode’s final scene and as Angel stared at the water, we found that he’d covered up the Mayans club name on his back tattoo.
Tattoo removal is totally on the rise. Farewell to all those bad Bali tattoos peoples!
The finale was full of death (like the entire season) and not just EZ's. Emily fatally shot Miguel and the family’s bodyguard, who she’d discovered was responsible for killing her sister. And thanks to Emily’s months of planning, and those strategically placed security cameras in her home, she looked blameless in both deaths. Instead, the cameras only showed Miguel collapsing, followed by Luis collapsing, followed then by a screaming Emily appearing on camera to hold Miguel’s body. For now, at least, the cops suspected it was a murder-suicide at Luis’ hand.
This season really was just one death after the next. Some more violent than others. Or like EZ some characters you got to know more than others.
Mayans M.C. the full run streams completely on Binge. If Sons of Anarchy was your bag, this was not a bad sequel series. However let's call it a day now Kurt Sutter.
