Eulogy
Episode 10 of Mosquito Coast season 2 starts with the community coming together to pay their respects to Silvia. Casa Roja gather and discuss how amazing she is and how her sacrifice will help them to strive for better in the future. Isela is obviously there to front all this and a somber mood descends on them all. Allie and Charlie head en-route to pick up Dina, and phone Margot to let her know what’s happening. The pair arrive at the hotel, where Allie apologizes to his daughter. The pair hug before heading somewhere private to talk. As they do, Charlie is left just chilling in the atrium.
Does Allie apologize to Dina?
Dina talks down to her father the whole time, telling him that he should let her talk and keep quiet until he’s told to speak. She wants to go home but she doesn’t have one. Allie agrees to support her and he’s got an idea on how to resolve this. When Margot shows up, he reveals there’s a paradisiac area they can move to, starting a whole Robinson Crusoe gig and settle down in this Mosquito Coast. Margot refuses and she wants to go back. Charlie lets loose and lashes out at Margot and Allie, given they kept the truth from them for so long. After everything simmers down, Dina admits that she only really knows how to live off the grid and apologizes to Charlie for leaving him. However, the pair spot Richard heading through the hotel and decides to follow from afar. They know he intends to enact another terrorist plot and Margot catches wind of what’s happening, given she recognizes the developers (namely Carter), the very people that Richard is after.
Is Richard captured?
Charlie is almost spotted as he follows a little too closely to Richard but Dina manages to pull him back. Richard heads into one of the hotel rooms with his crew, all armed up and ready to strike. Margot realizes they’re in danger, and that materializes when Charlie is captured by armed guards and forced to watch as Richard holds up our developers (and specifically Carter Albrecht) at gunpoint, demanding they give a worldwide announcement of the damage they’ve done, including dropping toxic waste in the Pasion River. When Guillermo shows up, he reveals himself to be part of their family and oversees this gleefully with Richard as Carter has a gun to his back. After giving his statement, he’s cable-tied and held up with a bag over his head. The others give their statements too, signing in the process, before Richard is forced to hand over the detonator to the bomb he intends to set off. Quick as a flash, Richard is shot dead by Guillermo, Allie busts in to save Charlie, grabbing the bag full of cash in the process. As he scrambles out the door though, William shoots him in the back.
How does The Mosquito Coast season 2 end?
Allie tells this family to leave while holding the detonator himself. As they head down the stairwell, Allie hits the detonator and blows the place sky high. He passes away in the process, taking out the bad guys with him in a final heroic act for his family. As for Margot, Dina and Charlie, they decide to move on from Casa Roja and alongside the residents, they move to the Mosquito Coast, intending to live off the grid and start a new life for themselves.
The Episode Review
So Mosquito Coast finally comes to a close after 10 episodes of drawn out drama and issues that finally come to a head. It’s perhaps unsurprising to find Allie killed at the end but quite how Margot gets to take the moral high-ground here is anyone’s guess. And that’s before mentioning the way Dina spoke to her father, which was incredibly patronizing, although I understand she’s angry at her dad. In the end, everything is wrapped up pretty well although the show itself has been poor and lethargically paced almost the entire way. So naturally, given Apple renew everything, we’ll probably get a season 3 of this one!
