Wentworth has finally concluded. The series commenced all the way back in May, 2013, concluding this Tuesday gone, 26 October 2021. Legacy was the 100th episode of the Prisoner remake.
How did it all end? SPOILERS ahead! Good news though, the entire series is now on Binge. It's no longer a Foxtel exclusive, FINALLY!
Spoilers after this exciting reunion video. Be warned!
Judy realizes Lou is still intending to bomb her way out of prison. Judy fails to stop Lou, with the bomb happening mid episode! They really did go out with a bang!
Meanwhile The Freak (who overheard annoying Judy's bomb plot) runs off to inform Rita. Rita confronts Lou, which quickly escalates into a brutal fight. This is the Rita the beater smackdown that has been building all season. It returns later in the episode too!
During the smackdown, the mobile phone – with the recordings on – falls from Lou’s pocket. They are both slotted.
In the slot, Rita tries to talk Lou out of the bomb, but Lou resists.
Ann stages a bogus transfer to the court house for Judy, knowing that Judy will not stand a chance of survival, if she is near to where the bomb is detonated. And guess what? Ann was right! However Ann doesn't have much chance either. Read on!
Unable to talk Lou out of the plan, Judy reluctantly tells Ann of the attack. Ann gloats that she already knows. Judy is unable to tell anyone else.
The bomb explodes outside the prison, destroying most of the unit, whilst killing Gary Sweet.
Rita, Lou, Ruby and Boomer all manage to escape. Is there a spin-off/sequel in the works? Me thinks YES. Keeping all these key players alive. It's a given in a few years.
Ally however remains trapped amongst the rubble. She tries to retrieve the mobile phone.
Vera regains consciousness and finds Judy’s impaled remains amongst the rubble. Vera realizes Ann had known about the attack and deliberately orchestrated Judy’s death. Ann strangles Vera. Just as Vera passes out, she is saved by the Freak, who pulls Ann off her and snaps her neck, killing her instantly.
This was like something out of a horror film!
The moment of the episode for me was The Freak carrying Vera out of the prison to safety. Outside, she tells Vera she rescued her, so Grace would not be deprived of a mother. Vera is grateful. The Freak then turns and walks away, disappearing into the night. Next spin-off idea, the Freak on the outside as Australia's female Dexter???
When declared unaccounted for by Linda, Jake and Will are relieved, believing her to be dead but Vera says nothing. Knowing full well a cold blooded murdering psycho is on the loose in Melbourne. First the Rona, now the Freak!
Lou tries to escape the perimeter fences but is apprehended by Rita. Smackdown Version 2.0!!
She is arrested and charged for her crimes. Ally is carried out to safety. As Rita, Ruby and Boomer greet her, Ally reveals she had managed to retrieve the phone for Rita and Ruby, thus proving their innocence.
End credits. So after 8/9 seasons. Australia's biggest drama in years is over. Sad but true, no more teal Tuesdays.
I enjoyed (for the most part) the entire last ten episodes along with the finale. A lot was unsaid/undone. Who knows what kind of mother Boomer will make? Can Will Jackson ever find love? Will Jake and Vera reconnect? Will Lou continue to be Top Dog somewhere?
I really think a sequel is on the cards. Maybe even Franky could come back!
OK well in other news, I finally made it back to the movies again! Come back for Return to Cinema (take two) 2021 - Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, tomorrow.
