The season finale has finally come around, and it was a satisfying one. Many loose ends were tied up and some of our characters life's got back on track. The ending however supplied us with an open ending, leaving it on a cliffhanger, which now makes me want another season more than ever.
As the episode began, we dived straight into a flashback involving Rose and Bix , who was played by the 100's Richard Harmon. We see that Bix is an excellent Jazz musician which does explain why Amy/Rose kept listening to Jazz music all the time. She was remembering her love Bix. The flashback skips forward two weeks, which is when we see Bix die. I am not entirely sure what killed him, but Rose gets out the silver trigger none the less which eases his soul off in to the next life.
We then see Jack mourning Gary whilst standing over his body. He goes inside the building, where to my surprise we see Todd Crane still alive. I was certain Marcus would kill him as he isn't shy when killing someone in fact I would say he does it for his own amusement. After getting a key from Todd he goes into the building's basement, as Jack is proceeding through the basement, we see Marcus hiding in the dark. Jack continues further underground; he goes through a red door with the initials QR - Qui Reverti.
Under the building, there is a library which Jack hides in to avoid getting spotted by the Shepherds; it is filled with books on people life's. Presumably they are people in past life's that have been triggered, some date back to the 1600's so it makes me wonder how old this group really is. Jack mentioned some famous people's names like Mozart. Could someone's soul been inside him? The room next door to the library is where all the triggers are kept. Jack looked astonished as he saw how many there were, I don't think he anticipated the group being so large. Jack then started smashing them in rage. Jack hears a noise, someone smashing something , it is Marcus. Jack confronts him, which at this point he thinks it is a little girl Madison. It is only when he knocks down the wall and see's Marcus's dead body when he starts to believe Marcus and what he was saying. I think that is the moment which made Jack open his eyes and realize that anyone can be a part of this. It also confirms for him that everything he has been told previously is true.
We then see a great scene with Marcus and Madison presumably in a purgatory type place come face to face. Marcus tells Madison how he is sorry that he is going back. Little does Marcus know is that Madison's desire to return is stronger than his "You have lived a few hundred life’s, but you haven't learned nothing. Taking life's is so easy, but it gets you know where there is nothing stronger than a kid wanting their parents".
The closing scene of our first season left it with Jack at his home once again. Getting his life back on track and probably trying to forget all that has happened. It isn't that easy when Shepherd turns up with a gift for him. Shepherd is offering Jack the chance to become one of the shepherd's and hands him a box filled with number 9 cards with "Jack Shepherd" written on them. I reckon this was probably Rose's idea, as she seemed to have a sweet spot for him, and dare I say genuinely cares for Jack. So there you have it, Intruders has come to an end and what a season it has been.
