Titled: “The Mockingbird”
Now that was a season finale. The episode’s perfect blend of humor, thrill, twists, and turns was a great way to end The Catch‘s sophomore season. Unfortunately, the loose ends we’re left with won’t get a chance to be tied up, as ABC sacked the Shondaland drama earlier today.
So, unless I suddenly develop telepathic powers with which to urge ABC execs to reconsider their decision, we’ll have to use our imaginations to envision where our favorite investigators and criminals wind up after that monster of a cliffhanger. (Though you can catch a few of executive producer Allan Heinberg’s thoughts here.) But hey, if The Catch was gonna go out, at least it went out with a bang, right?
“The Mockingbird” finally brought everyone’s season-long arcs together into one juicy, sensational story. Let’s get into it… for the last time. *insert sad-face emoji here*
When we last saw Mockingbird (a.k.a. Tommy), he had just sat down with Margot to inquire after his stolen drugs. Margot initially tries to strike a deal, but any hope of a negotiation fades when Alice’s brother reveals he’s absorbed every other crime family in town. With no allies to speak of, the head of the Kensington firm really has no choice but to return the shipment and join his payroll (or, you know, die). Margot has 24 hours to decide which way she wants to go, at which point he’ll call with a delivery location.
Once he’s made his exit, Margot finally answers her phone and finds out about Tessa’s kidnapping. After briefly arguing with Alice, Ben, and Rhys about whose fault it is that Tessa was nabbed by Felicity — who, they presume, wants the Kensington firm all to herself — she confesses the firm no longer exists, thanks to Mockingbird. But the priority right now is getting Tessa back, so when Felicity calls and sets up a trade (Tessa for Margot and Rhys), they agree to the terms. While the brother-sister duo want to show up guns blazing, Ben insists on doing it his way. They’ll arrive unarmed (with Alice and Val surveilling the scene from a safe distance and Danny in place as an amateur sniper), do the exchange, and shoot out the getaway car’s tires to save Margot and Rhys at the last moment…..
