The series reaches a near peak in this episode that is one away from the finale. Everything is beginning to culminate in the final battle. In this episode we see just how depraved Justin has become. When he orders Sophie to stop feeding Balthus, we know that the end is near for possibly the one person, other than Ben, who can defeat Justin. Back at the carnivale, Ben\'s secret is finally out and there is a palpable shift is the distance the crew is willing to go to take care of one of their own. The carnival begins to bond like we have not seen in many episodes. With this, we begin to realize that the end is near for our beloved group. As always, Carnivale is so good it keeps me wanting more.
