The series finale finds Kendrick in complacent mood as his new head counsel assures him there's no way the evidence from the stolen SUV will be admissible in court, blissfully labouring under the delusion that Patty plays by the rules. The truth, of course, is that Patty's on the verge of bribing the judge, with FBI informant Ellen only too keen to help her.

After a row with son Michael, however, Patty seems to have a fit of conscience and attempts to nail the unfinished business that is UNR legally – offering Garrity a one-shot get-out-of-jail-free card if he testifies against the energy company. Garrity refuses, choosing instead to demand from Kendrick and Dave Pell an ownership stake in UNR in exchange for his silence. Needless to say, no takers!

Meanwhile, Patty approaches Dave Pell and – in a church of all places – they come to what seems to be a mutually acceptable agreement that puts both their enemies in the frame. But Patty's confession is far from full. And Dave Pell soon regrets selling his soul when it transpires that Patty's brought in the cavalry – Tom Shayes and his assistant US attorney sister. Cue the arrests of Pell, Kendrick and Agent Werner. Yep, Patty beats the FBI at their own game.

Tying up a few loose ends, Frobisher pops up announcing that he's bought the plot for his new HQ and is ready to start afresh (whether or not he's still practising yoga and meditation is another matter), Purcell's accepting full responsibility for Christine's death and seems happy to be in the clink, and Bearded Man finally gets his comeuppance courtesy of a bullet through the head from Wes...

So, to Room 1910 and that confrontation. Ellen finally asks Patty what we all want to know: did she take a contract out on her life? Yes. Does Ellen shoot Patty? No. But there is blood on the carpet. And it is Patty's. Flashback to a suspense-filled elevator scene (surely a nod to Fatal Attraction) where coke-head Garrity knifes the formerly impenetrable Ms Hewes...
