While The Last Ship is always a show we can count on for kích hoạt and drama, big explosions, và gun fights, more than anything, it’s a show about hope.

Kara, Tex, Kathleen, và Oliver pass through a darkened Las Vegas on their way to lớn San Diego, which feels eerie và ominous. It’s there that they learn a little more about what the Regional Leaders have been up to, & how they’ve been controlling the food in order khổng lồ control the citizens.

The man who saves them when they need it and then explains the situation is similar lớn Takehaya in that he wants khổng lồ remain home, no matter the cost. Kathleen gives the man their last can of food before they continue on their journey. It’s just a small scene, but it’s so significant, và I love that we get khổng lồ see the look of pride of Tex’s face as he watches his daughter.

The group makes it to lớn the coast just in time lớn have all hope vanquished. They watch a ship being blown up in the ocean, believing that it’s the Nathan James.

Kara has been a star all season long, và Marissa Neitling’s performance in this episode is stellar. We all knew that the ship that exploded was the decoy ship (or at least, we hoped) but seeing her break down in the ocean believing that all hope was lost, and that the love of her life was gone still brought me khổng lồ tears.

Meanwhile, on the James, Chandler and the crew watch as their decoy ship is blown up. It’s the perfect plan, và it gives them the opportunity to finally reunite with the few people they have left on their side.

The first reunion we see is between Kara & Danny, và it’s beautiful. I’m so glad we get to lớn see these two together again! and the look on Kara’s face when she sees him is priceless.

If I have any complaints about this episode, it’s that we didn’t get quite enough time to lớn enjoy their reunion. I’d have liked to lớn spend just a few more moments seeing them together.

There’s another powerful reunion, và it’s the one between Chandler and Tex. These two guys are so different, but they’ve bonded on a deep màn chơi since they’ve known each other.

Chandler: Tex, why am I not surprised lớn see you here?

That says a lot about how well he knows this guy, & there’s really nothing like having the team back together. The two of them also talk briefly about Dr. Scott, và Tex notes how awesome Sasha seems lớn be.

(Meanwhile, Kathleen is teaching President Oliver how khổng lồ use a gun. LOVE her.)

There isn’t much time khổng lồ chat, though. The team has a new plan that will not only get them some food, but also help them to lớn regain control.

Unfortunately, that perfect plan assumes a train is full of food, not people.

When they learn that the train they were planning to blow up is in fact full of innocent people, they have a short window of opportunity to stop the train before it reaches the explosives.

Because this wouldn’t be The Last Ship without a close gọi that has us literally holding our breaths.

It’s lượt thích something out of an old movie as they all jump on đứng top of that train in hopes of taking it over, complete with fights as the train keeps moving. It’s an intense few minutes, và one of the most suspenseful scenes this season.

But it’s more than simply letting these people go free. They are on that train because it’s how they’ve been told they’ll get food, và that’s the only thing they’re concerned about at the moment.

As usual, though, Chandler proves himself lớn be an incredible, fearless leader who is loyal khổng lồ his country, shaming the General for going against his oath, và even refusing to lớn kill Castillo when he has the chance.

He’s always noble, và it pays off.

He also helps to lớn place President Oliver back in charge. I truly do hope that when this series ends, it ends with Chandler as President somehow. But for now, I enjoy seeing him serve in a role that helps the President lead. He does that now, just as he did before with Michener.

Everything feels hopeful by the kết thúc of the episode. We see the crew reunited, & they all salute Oliver, who seems overwhelmed by the respect he’s being given.
