It looks like we'll be weeping our way through the season finale.

The most anticipated premiere for fans of touching non-heteronormative romance, following Good Omens, Our Flag Means Death Season 2, is drawing to a close. The new chapter in the tale of the Gentleman Pirate and Blackbeard, along with their Revenge crew, has proved even more emotional, profound, breathtaking, and, at times, gut-wrenching. Truly an emotional rollercoaster!

Regardless of whether or not the show's getting a third season, the teaser for the season two finale suggests a riveting journey ahead of us. Let's delve into potential key events in OFMD Season 2's final episode.

5. Ed's Love For Stede Conquers All

Stede's killing of Ned Low earned him great respect among the pirates for the first time. However, this newfound status clouded his judgment, leading him to criticize Ed's choice to abandon piracy. But deep down, Ed's genuine affection remains unshaken. He felt real danger when his beloved's name was mentioned in the boat.

4. Ed's Blackbeard Persona May Fuse With The New Self

Choosing to confront the part of him that brought immense distress, Ed adopted the life of a fisherman and discarded his dark persona. However, the teaser shows him donning a jacket reminiscent of Mad Max. Perhaps the jacket's reappearance is a sign that he needs to integrate rather than suppress his alter ego.

3. Izzy's Life Is In Danger

All signs this season hinted at impending doom for Izzy. The teaser, which shows Ed pointing an accusatory, bloodied hand at members of both the Revenge and Zhang's crews, combined with behind-the-scenes footage of a wounded Izzy, raises grave concerns for his well-being.

2. The Main Casualty May Be The Revenge Itself

The Revenge may be the ultimate casualty in a development, symbolizing a new, albeit tragic, chapter in the crew's lives. At first, the Revenge was Stede's only reminder that he was a pirate, and then it reminded Ed of Stede. But over time, the crew bonded with each other and the ship, with Izzy, as someone astutely pointed out, becoming their new guiding unicorn.

1. Next Big Bad Is A Real Captain Hornigold?

While the teaser hints at Ricky Banes as the primary antagonist, fans speculate a more menacing foe might emerge, perhaps setting the stage for a third season. Could it be that Ed confronts a living Captain Hornigold rather than a figment of his imagination?
