The season finale finally shows us the team-up we’ve anticipated, with Cameron, Fonnegra, Liber8, Tonkin, and an Alec working together to prevent future dystopia.
The end results prove problematic.

Everyone wants the Halo bracelet, and the various factions come into conflict. Kiera and her killer bond; Sonya Valentine goes out with a bang.
You never catch the Roadrunner. It can’t be done.
This week on Continuum, the cast gathers together and tries to figure out the premise of the show.
The post-series diagrams of plots, timelines, and character alliances in this show will resemble the notepad of someone afflicted with both an obsessive-doodling disorder and hand tremors.
I mean that in the best possible sense.
They’re getting wise to the scam they accepted in the name of convenience.

Much of the regular cast take the ep off as we visit days of futures past. Kiera recalls a future mission that went horribly wrong and brought her into contact with an off-the-grid community of “Gleaners.” We see the start of the doubts that have been growing in her, and we learn how Sonya Valentine came to be a part of Liber8.

Another company has technology of unknown origin.
