The camera pulls back and we see that the boardwalk is miles away, lighting up the horizon.

We close with Richard Harrow slowly walking up to a snow covered farmhouse, a light on inside. He looks in the window but doesn’t see anyone. He takes a gun out, but then stashes it in a woodpile on the front porch. He goes to the front door, appears to steel himself, and knocks.

Only there’s a shotgun pointed at his back now, and when he turns around, the woman holding it lowers it. "Emma. I’ve come home," he says, and she starts to smile. As much as Richard probably deserves a happy ending, I have to admit I’m enjoying the high body count he’s been racking up the last couple of episodes.
