Season finale bump tonight. TV Guide seems to suggest that some "beloved" character is leaving the show tonight, wondering out loud if Lem is going to eat a bullet.
Hold on, wasn't Vic going to drive Lem down to Mexico at the end of the last episode? The whole thing of Vic helping with the robbery involving the has-been hip-hopper was to buy Lem protection from that guy in jail (forget his name, but both Vic and Kavanaugh were trying to buy him).
When the robbery went haywire, there went the deal for Lem. That's when Vic decided that Lem was headed somewhere the Feds couldn't touch him, hence the final scene last week.
My money's on Dutch leaving. Chauvinist that he is, I can't see him taking orders from his old partner, now the Chief at "the Barn". And Kavanaugh is DEFINITELY outta there. One and done for the IAD bully. His ex-wife is gonna prove to be too much baggage for him to deal with. With Lem gone, the case will unravel faster than an old golf ball with the cover taken off.
Thanks for the ping! BIG Shield fan here. As fara s a "beloved character" getting written out, my guess is Claudette. I wouldn't be surprised to see Vic's ex go, too. Her role has knid of gotten in the way, IMO. From the previews, it looks like Kavanaugh wants to even the score with ex-wives, and maybe he ends up killing her while raping her.
Hardcore. Shane killed Lem!!
