We see a man waking up his sweet babies, in order to prepare for his wedding night. A young girl is seen near a carousel, where she is told she is going to die, before the others come out and save her. The girls work diligently to convince the new girl to join them and get married to The Man, who lets them do whatever they wish. With a little convincing, the girl agrees to marry the man. Meanwhile, the man waits by the road, when he confronted by a guard, before strangling him with jumper cables.
John Constantine (Matt Ryan) meets with Jim Corrigan (Emmett J Scanlan), who shows him pictures of a corpse. The man, Clement Dupree, was mummified. Jim suspects the disappearance of young girls in the area to be related to the attack. The Man prepared to brand the security guard, while Zed witnesses weird premonitions, while touching Jim. Constantine investigated the body and discovers it has been branded, by a Satanist. Gary Lester takes over the corpse and warns John of a large bounty of his head. Next, Papa Midnite (Michael James Shaw) is shown tempting a man to help him collect the bounty. Midnite kills the man, after he agrees to help.
The new girl, Vesta Whitney (Annalise Basso), wakes up in a filthy house, while Jim and John show up to her house, in order to question her mother. John confronts Zed (Angelica Celaya) about her weird behavior and finally learns about her visions of Jim dead. Manny (Harold Perrineau) takes over Anna Kate’s body and speaks with Zed, who questions whether or not she should warn Jim about his impending death. Before he leaves, Zed is told her gift comes with choices. Constantine performs a little magic, electrocutes himself and witnesses visions through Vesta’s eyes.
The girls prepare Vesta to be married off. She is obviously naive to the dangers she is facing. Meanwhile, Midnite has turned the man into his slave. He gives his slave the order to kill Constantine. The trio discover the policeman’s abandoned squad car. They discover the carnival grounds, before John ventures inside and is attacked by Midnite’s demon. Jim shoots the man dead. Zed is finally able to use her gift to discover the guards’s location. It appears Midnite puts a sell on a crow, in order to track John.
The group makes it to the house, where they find the missing security guard crucified. Jim insists there is only one way in and out and a traffic camera records everything. Constantine notices the crow and sends everyone out. Meanwhile, The Man (JD Evermore) arrives home to his new bride. Vesta agrees to marry him and stay forever. Midnite approaches John’s location, with shotgun in hand. John is shot in the chest and hits the floor. Midnite suggests John’s death will free his sister’s soul from damnation. Midnite shoots him, but it turns out John reanimated the guard’s corpse. He beats up Midnite and takes the shotgun.
The Man prepares for the ritual, but Vesta flees, while screaming for help. John enters the man’s home with the shotgun. He discovers three dead girls in the bedroom. At the same time, The Man scours the property for Vesta. John rendezvous with Jim and Zed, while the Man captures Vesta. The Man flees, when John approaches, but Jim and Zed trap him. Constantine questions Jim, if they could allow the man to run. When he runs away, The Man is shot dead. Meanwhile, John returns to the dead girls and releases their spirits, while Vesta returns home.
Zed finally tells Jim about seeing him dead. Constantine enters and watches the pair kissing. After he leaves, John receives a visit from Manny. Constantine seems troubled by The Man’s evil ways. Manny suggests they’re winning the way against evil. Meanwhile, Midnite is arrested for the murder, but time freezes and he is approached by Manny, who sets him free. Manny insists the Brujeria work for him and Constantine is off limits.
Review
The finale episode was fun, but didn’t necessarily feel like a finale. Sadly, the show is plagued by one major problem. The entire season has been episodic, without any real attempt to connect each of the episodes together – there is no glue. Each episode has been good, but there has really been no reason to wait for the next. If the show does develop a second season, which is questionable, I hope they’re able to develop a more in-depth storyline, which carries throughout the season. All in all, the episode and first season deserves a 7 out of 10.
