WARNING: If you don't want to know what happened in this episode, don't read this photo recap!
Here it is, team. The season one finale of Blood Drive. The actual one this time. Most people are in fracking tubes underground in both New York and LA. And Grace, Arthur and Slink drive into New York City, and then directly into the lobby of Heart Enterprises.
336337
It turns out that Heart has killed a bunch of its employees, and has a complicated time-warpy security system. Nevertheless, their plan is to blow the place up with tiny weird bombs. But the building has some tricks up its collective sleeves.
336338
And, it turns out, Karma is in charge of everything. From a control room somewhere in the building. While Arthur is fine to ignore her, Grace is worried about her sister, even though she knows she's evil.
336339
Meanwhile, Christopher has had a lot of modifications and Aki knows that if they're going to run off together, she has to go for supplies. But…what is the new Christopher like under all those bandages?
336340
While Slink goes off to find the central beam that would bring down the whole building, Arthur and Grace decide they're going to go after Karma and try to save her. The team splits up again and Slink gives them an ultimatum, because he's nuts: they have 30 minutes to get out before the building blows up.
336341
So then Karma comes out of nowhere and blasts Arthur away so she and Grace can talk. Is he…dead? What happened?
336342
In flashback (you can tell because Grace has bangs), it becomes pretty clear that the girls were raised by an abusive dad and stole his car. (The red car, duh.) They were good buds. Helpful sisters. And they decided to steal the car and just keep driving.
336343
In the present, though, they're having a serious kick-down fight in the board room at Heart Enterprises. When Grace can't kill her, Karma uses that same terrible gun she used on Arthur.
336344
Grace ends up in a different part of Heart Enterprises, and follows a trail, desperately looking to find Arthur.
336345
Slink uses a stolen security card to gain access to the main beam that'll bring the building down. But also it turns out Karma killed all his other robot clones. So if he dies - this time he dies for good.
336346
Also, it turns out Christopher is awake - and angry. And full of modifications. There's a quick flashback of them a long time ago, but it doesn't matter, this is all just an angry Christopher beating up Arthur.
336347
So then Aki finds Slink putting tiny blue bombs on the main beam that can bring down the whole building. She severs his spinal cord and he tells her that she only has about 10 minutes to find Christopher and get out before the building blows up.
336348
The battle rages on. Until Arthur finally kills Christopher with a pipe. It's serious.
336349
As Grace and Arthur try to get to Slink and the beam with all the bombs on it, they realize they're too late. Karma has locked them in and escaped through the blood gate. But Arthur has one more trick up his sleeve and blows the door open.
336350
Slink gives Grace and Arthur five more minutes to get out of the building. He likes them but loves drama even more. They race out of the building…
336351
That's when Karma comes out of nowhere and stabs Grace.
336352
Arthur punches Karma in the face, steals her blood-gate technology, and then just as they're about to die…again…Julian Slink saves them...again...and then monologues like crazy.
336353
The building is going to blow. Aki is furious about his death. Slink keeps monologuing.
336354
As Slink finally blows up the building, killing himself in the process, Grace can't leave her sister, and so she pushes Arthur through the blood gate…
336355
Unable to leave her sister, Grace goes to her in her final moments.
336356
Finally, Arthur finds himself naked on the other side of the blood gate - on an island that's called Blood Rock Prison for the Criminally Insane.
