#effyeahcauseofdeath

What was in doubt was her capacity to love and have an actual healthy relationship. She pushed Jeremy away because she was terrified of admitting to herself that she was falling in love. And then they were both too proud to discuss their problems like proper adults. Instead of trying to fix things, Jeremy runs away. And while I agree that Redchen’s the more stable/safer relationship, I agree with Amy even more - she shouldn’t be the rebound girl (Jeremy should have properly ended things with Blaise first before pursuing another relationship).

Like you, I loved the ending in how she was able to work through her problems and fears herself, and smile even in the face of instant rejection. But her dying means that she’ll never be able to apply her new insights. I’m just a hugely disappointed by the aspect of unexplored potential. I really wanted to see Blaise happy with someone who cares enough for her to stay by her side. Her entire life was such an angst-fest that she definitely deserved it.

Plot-wise, it was also “the easy way out”. A simple means to wrap up loose ends, as the implication that Blaise was celebrated in death would have been better than her survival in prison. We’ll never see Blaise deal with the consequences of her actions, which would have lead to an interesting character-building arc in regards to repentance, as well as creative ways to perhaps shorten her sentence/get her out of jail. 

But I guess with the limitations of the finale, it was the most efficient way to grant her story arc gratification. On an emotional level, I hate it… but logistically, I can see how they didn’t have too many options.

Mal and Natara: They are still together, yes. And Natara’s pregnant! With a boy, I believe? They named him Blaise in honour of, well, Blaise. (If nothing horrible happened, the baby would have been born by now!)

Blaise: She had an epiphany or something that broke her out of her funk, realized she was in love with Jeremy, and went to tell him. But then found out he was already seeing Amy :( When they got back to San Fran, she turned herself in for killing Kolo on the rooftop all those volumes ago, and got a life sentence. Then she broke out of jail to help the team in the final battle. Then a huge amount of the Nightmare drug was sent up into a helicopter by the Firstborn to be sprayed on the entire city. So she got on that helicopter and blew it up to save the city… with herself in it. Died a martyr and a hero :’(

Jeremy: Pretty much the same. Eh.

Amy: Now this is actually pretty interesting. There’s this choice that you, as the player, get to make when Amy’s on a rooftop with Kingfisher dangling from the edge. If you (as Amy) save him, she stays in the SFPD and gets together with Jeremy and it’s all butterflies and roses. However, if you let him fall to his death, Amy then realizes that she’s not fit for working in law enforcement, leaves Jeremy and the rest of the team, and goes to join Brimstone again.

Kai: Is also pretty much the same. But a few chapters before the finale, he was pretty sad about Kara. I don’t know if you played up until here, but Kara showed up in Tokyo, helped the team fight off a bunch of baddies, then was put under arrest. Kai got her a deal that meant if she used her criminal knowledge to help the SCT out with their cases, she’d be put under extended probation instead of being sent to prison. However, Kara refused the deal, used the contract pen to break out of her handcuffs, and ran off, after saying to Kai that it was “the end of the line” for them and she’d never see him again. It broke his heart. 

Reed: Got in a huge fight with the Firstborn and was beaten down pretty badly. (By the way, the Firstborn’s actual face is an exact replica of Reed’s. He then used his voice-mimicking skills to pretend to be Reed and fooled the rest of the SCT). Anyways, the real Reed plans to find another career. Also, our suspicions of him being gay were kinda confirmed.

Firstborn: Dead as heck. Mal injected him with a lethal dose of Nightmare in a fight, and he died in absolute fear (which he had never felt previous to this).

That’s all I can remember (the main stuff anyways)! If you want more details or want to know the fates of the other characters, check out their character profiles on the Cause of Death Wikia. Or hit me up ;)

As always, if any of the Deathicated notice any errors in my summary, please tell me! I’ll fix them asap!
