Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Lucas decides to leave Banshee, but discovers the murder case he believed closed may be reopened, while Proctor looks to finalize a deal with the Colombians after his intense faceoff with the Brotherhood. Carrie enacts one final act of vengeance; and Brock demands Bunker pledge his allegiance.

Our Take

A fittingly bloody sendoff that trades the show’s usual sprawl for something quieter and more personal, and it mostly works. The action beats hit as hard as ever, though a few plot threads feel rushed in the rush to close things out. If you’ve stuck with Banshee this long, the emotional payoff here earns its 45 minutes.
