Thoughts on the Ending S-P-O-I-L-E-R-S
I agree. S P O I L E R S (of course!)
It's hard to tell, but I think it's Ray who says "Run" at the end, like he's gonna give them a chance.
I swear I heard him cock a pistol early on the trip down that road. Hard to imagine he wouldn't know it's a setup shortly after they got into the car. One in back, one in front, got in at the outpost biker hangout, their 'tude as soon as they got in.
He still loves Zoe, but given the hair growth and job for a few months, he has no death wish, else he'd have "topped" himself by now.
Cab driving esp. in the sticks is a dicey profession, so maybe he's looking to be tested, or even figures Freddy might send someone some time, but maybe for old time's sake, or turning a new leaf, he'll give Fred a chance to prove it was "a mistake."
I can't think of a better ending, esp. as others said, it allows for a Season 4, and gives us a good taste that the Old Ray is merely lying dormant... like a cat.
