Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
There's still one episode left to go this season, but "Do or Die" could easily have worked as The Strain's Season 3 finale. It was certainly an eventful chapter, shaking up the status quo yet again and bidding farewell to several long-running characters. The fact that so much happened this week really begs the question of what bombshell the show has in store for fans in the actual finale.
It didn't hurt that "Do or Die" was such an Eldritch Palmer-centric episode. Palmer has always been one of the most fascinating and morally ambiguous characters on the show, and that certainly hasn't changed this year. Here, Palmer finally threw caution to the wind and openly betrayed the Master. In the process, the episode delivered a cool shootout scene and an answer to the ongoing mystery of just what was inside that crate the Master rushed in from Egypt. As it turns out, it wasn't a sarcophagus containing one of the Ancients. If we learned anything from "White Light," last week, it's that the Master would rather destroy his siblings than form alliances with them. Instead, the crate contained two suitcase nukes, one of which was already used to devastating effect. I do think this reveal would have had more impact if it had come before the climax of "White Light," but it still raises a number of interesting questions. Namely, what plan did the Master have for the other nuke, and how does Palmer intend to use it now?
