Etherilda's gambit to help her parents pays off. Josto, grieving the lost of his brother and fed up with everything, goes full Roaring Rampage of Revenge on Dr.Harvard and his former would be father-in-law. Someone pays for Oraetta's bail. Ebal talk bussiness with Loy.
Tropes present:
- Ain't Too Proud to Beg: Josto's pathetic attempt to talk himself out of his execution, much to Joe Bulo and Oraetta's humour.
- Anyone Can Die: Dr. Harvard, Milvin, Happy, Leon, Josto, Oraetta and finally, Loy.
- Berserk Button: Being called "hag" makes Oraetta totally balls off the wall.
- Bittersweet Ending: Heavy on the "bitter", but in contrast to last season the story ends on a definitive resolution: the mob war finally ends when Cannon Limited, unable to contend with the Faddas with the backing of a national outfit, are forced to placidly merge with the Faddas. Satchel Cannon manages to reunite with his family but Loy is murdered by a vengeful Zelmare, destroying any chance Satchell has for a normal life and leaving him bereft of both father figures. On the sweeter side, Josto Fadda and Oraetta Mayflower meet their well-deserved ends side-by-side in an open grave, and the Smutneys earn their happy ending, now free of the pressure of the mob over their heads. The season makes it clear a temporary peace has returned, but the sacrifice of most of those who made it possible won't be remembered—history is written by the victors, after all.
- Call-Back: Loy's final fate is quite similar to Emmit's. Both characters got killed at the very end, off guard, when they're finally ready to begin a new, more peaceful, chapter in ther lives.
- Canon Character All Along: The ending confirms that Satchel grows up to become Mike Milligan
- Chekhov's Skill: Etherilda's amazing research abilities actually help Loy win the war. Partially.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: For Etherilda and her family. At least some characters won.
- Face Death with Dignity: While Josto is pathetically begging for his life with some petty monologue, Oraetta just puts herself some lipstick and gets ready to face her fate.
- Flat "What": Josto delivers one after Oraetta's request to Joe to kill him first so she can watch
- Hope Spot: Loy accepts the fact that he cannot fight the new Kansas City Mafia, marking a full stop to the feud and returns home to his family to have what is seems will be a peaceful new life... then Zelmare appears out of the fucking blue and stabs him. And that's arrivederci for Loy.
- My God, You Are Serious!: Joe and Oraetta laugh at Josto's comment where he's about to get executed. Then Joe realizes it was a honest plea for his life.Joe: Wait (beat) That a serious question?
- New Era Speech: Ebal delivers one after he sentences Josto to deathEbal: L'azienda di famiglia. L'affare di famiglia. It's shit, no? The old ways for the old world. Brothers, uncles, cousins... We live in the new world now. We need a new way.
- Pyrrhic Victory: For Loy. Thanks to Donatello's ring, he manages to convince Ebal that Josto is a traitor who ploted the death of his father along with Oraetta and then killed his brother, which lead to his execution and the killing of Happy and Leon, who were about to take Cannon Limited's place. Loy is ready to get back on the usual, but with the inauguration of the Kansas City Mafia on a national level, clearly having the upper hand, they decide to take away a big part of Loy's turf, basically making him another employee with almost no power.
- Really Dead Montage: Episode starts off with a montage of the deceased characters with Johnny Cash's "What is Man" that pretty much confirms what many fans weren't ready to admit: that Rabbi is, in fact, dead.
- Unflinching Walk: A rather non-victorious example; Josto walking away after setting on fire the car where the bodies of Dr.Harvard and his ex-father-in law are, is perhaps his most badass moment in the entire season, but he just look exhausted and frustrated.
