Bosch: Legacy Finale Delivers Irving Update, a Money Move and a Dark Reveal About [Spoiler] — Grade Season 2
Bosch: Legacy closed out Season 2 with a “double-episode finale” that found our assorted heroes dodging assorted kinds of drama, while also offering up an Irving update and then ending with a reveal too dark to be believed…?
DOCKBLOCKED | Though under the unwanted watchful eye of the LAPD (seeing as Ellis was still on the loose), Harry — armed with intel from Mo and the “twins” — slipped away to the Del Rey Marina, to hunt down hospitalized Long’s equally dirty partner. Harry located and boarded the Calamity Jane, where he found a nosy boater bound and gagged in the state room. Alas, Ellis just then got the drop on Harry, pressing a gun to the back of his head. Harry managed to knock the gun free and a fight ensued, one that spilled out onto the boat’s deck. But just as Ellis went to possibly put Harry down, Maddie — having tracked her dad’s phone after he went AWOL — appeared on a nearby dock, from which she fired two shots into Ellis’ chest. For a hot minute, there was some concern about it being a “bad” shooting (since no gun was found near Ellis), but luckily the weapon later turned up.
A SHRED OF EVIDENCE | Having her day in court vs. Anthony Michael Hall and the other feds, Money called to the stand an attorney with whom she had entrusted the Carl Rogers files. Meaning, the plastic bag full of shredded documents that the feds came brandishing as evidence was a mere decoy. As such, the FBI’s search warrant had been secured based on bad evidence, “fruit of the poison tree” yada yada… and the charges against Chandler were dismissed. That wasn’t enough to get her back in her firm partner’s best graces, but Money had a big old’ Plan B anyway. Money met with LAPD vet Irvin Irving (the late Lance Reddick’s final Bosch-iverse appearance), who now works in the private sector, to secure his endorsement — because, as she announced at finale’s end, after getting David Foster set free, she is now running for D.A.
MO PROBLEMS | Sigh, sometimes I hate being right. “Jade” was in fact playing Mo. She’s actually one of Anthony Michael Hall’s feds, and she was sent undercover to lure Mo into stealing those files from the pharma conglomerate, so as to leverage him into flipping on Harry and Chandler re: the whole Bratva/pipeline bombing thing. Mo, though, at some point got wise to “Jade,” which he revealed during their first date after he got hauled into the cop shop. What’s more, the evidence against him disappeared much like the shredded Carl Rogers files, since he had coded the files he gave “Jade” to self-delete after a period of time. Uno, game over!
ONE CALL DOES IT ALL | Maddie learned that her kidnapper, Kurt Dockweiler, died in prison of an overdose — likely murder via “hot shot” (forced heroin injection), her father later suggested. And at episode’s end, while Harry was out walking Coltrane, Maddie saw her dad’s phone ring — with a Caller ID from prison. Picking it up, she accepted a collect call from inmate Preston Borders, who reported to Harry’s kid, “Tell your father that I did what he wanted…. Dockweiler. Tell him I took care of it.” Shellshocked, Maddie could barely utter, “Dad, what did you do?” when Harry got back home.
What did you think of the already-renewed Bosch: Legacy‘s second season? And did Harry really orchestrate the death of his daughter’s abdutcor?
