Australian legend Sam Neill has swapped Jurassic Park for Yosemite National Park in a new Netflix series titled Untamed, where dangers still lurk, even if they're not of the prehistoric variety.
Together with Lily Santiago's new ranger, Naya Vasquez, the trio encounter twist after twist in the case until it all comes to a head in the final episode.
Read on to find out, but be warned that there are discussions of suicide which some may find upsetting.
Untamed ending explained: What really happened to Lucy Cook?
At the end of the previous episode, Kyle travelled into the park to find answers, when he was suddenly shot by, yep, you guessed it, Shane, who wants to take Turner out of the picture completely.
The pair carry on until nightfall, when Kyle, exhausted and on the verge of death, tries to kill Shane with his last bullet. Except, the gun's empty, and that click of the barrel alerts Shane to Kyle's whereabouts.
Yep, he's referring to Kyle's dead son, Caleb, which is pretty savage when you think about it. A gun does go off then, but it's not Shane's. Naya has arrived just in time, shooting Shane once to save Kyle and then a few times more when he tries to kill her for interfering.
The pair share a sweet moment then about the allure of park ranger life and the tranquility of the wilderness. It seems Kyle has fulfilled his duties as a mentor to Naya, who's come to embrace her new calling after working for years as a city cop.
Despite what Sean took from them, Kyle had faith that the law would handle this, especially with the video evidence that came into their possession. But Jill did not, so she paid Maguire to blackmail her child's killer and then kill him in return.
"You don’t have to worry about me," she promises, despite chugging a bottle of pills in the episode prior.
But there's still some sleuthing to take care of, so after a few chats tie up more loose ends, Kyle decides to pursue the last lead he had on Lucy's life, driving up to Nevada to visit a church she attended as a kid.
Faith reveals that her father used to run a "big foster home racket" where he'd essentially starve the kids in his care and lock them up in the basement most days. Grace stood out to Faith because she cried a lot, "more than most", and often talked about how her father would save her. He never did though. No one did, so eventually Grace ran away.
As Kyle goes to leave, Faith recalls how Grace used to mention that her father was a cop. This gets Kyle thinking, so he calls an unknown person and asks for a favour, off the book.
Paul's surprised to discover that Kyle re-sent Lucy's DNA results to the lab because he didn't trust the findings that Paul reported earlier. He was right to do so, because it turns out that Paul didn't tell Kyle the whole truth. Not by a long shot.
Kyle knows the truth now, that Paul is actually Lucy's father. He produces a photo of Lucy as a kid and watches Paul try to squirm his way out of the truth. But it's no use.
Kyle presses him on leaving Lucy with the Gibbs church as a child and how he refused to help her when she returned to the Yosemite area as an adult. Paul keeps on admitting little truths as Kyle digs deeper, but he still holds back until Kyle demands to run ballistics on his hunting rifles.
More excuses come then, that he lent out his guns and doesn't know how they were used… But then Paul admits Lucy came to his house for money around a year ago. And not just once either. With each visit, she demanded more money and threatened to ruin his life. Paul supposedly tried to say sorry, but Lucy wanted him to feel the same pain he put her through.
Paul unravels, to the point where it becomes obvious that he's the one who is actually responsible for her death. He didn't land the killing blow, but he scared Lucy to the point where she just wanted to end it all, choosing to throw herself off the cliff face where Kyle finds her at the start of the very first episode.
The stoic park ranger is having none of it, though, so he walks away to begin righting this wrong, even as Paul aims his rifle at him. A gunshot fires, but just like earlier with Maguire, the bullet in question doesn't hit Kyle. Instead, Paul has shot himself in the head, and then we see his body fall into the river below.
"Come on," says Kyle's child, tempting him to join Caleb in the afterlife. But Kyle isn't ready to go.
Before he goes, Kyle leaves a note behind for Vasquez, gifting her his horse and also the box of Caleb's toys that her own son wanted to play with earlier.
Perhaps Kyle can find some calm in that elsewhere, now that he's moved onto pastures new.
