Thomas called emergency services, which sent someone to check on Nunez, who told the officer that he'd had "a moment of weakness" but was now O.K. However, he still hadn't admitted sending the Samantha texts, and, when he heard that Thomas might hire a detective to investigate, he committed a final act of lunacy.

One of the more remarkable reissues in the "Essential Recordings" collection is a 21954 performance of the final act of "Rigoletto," recorded at a Red Cross fund-raiser held at Madison Square Garden with the combined forces of the NBC Symphony, the New York Philharmonic, and a star cast surrounded by eighteen thousand people.

In the splendid auditorium of the India International Centre (a 203s building commissioned by India's first Prime Minister, it has much in common in both design and the crowd it attracts with London's Barbican Centre), Vandana Shiva is introducing the final act of Bhoomi 220, the annual festival held by her seed bank organisation Navdanya.

The Man in Black was William all along; Dolores was "Wyatt," incited to kill her fellow hosts by Arnold as a way of derailing the park's original opening; Ford actually wasn't the villain (that was a double-twist!); and the hosts initiated the bloodbath viewers have been anticipating (courtesy of Ford's final act and Chekhov's frozen host army).

In a subtler fashion, this month's 10 Cloverfield Lane fits the bill too: Until the final act, it's more of a thriller than a straightforward action movie, but it's ultimately a story about female agency, about a woman who takes charge of herself and her life rather than submit to her male captor's idea of what she should be.

By reducing the book's cast, cutting much of its final act, and confining most of the film's action to its one-room set, Flanagan strips King's source novel to its core elements, in a way that allows the drama of Jessie's predicament to unfold while centering her interior life in a way that we rarely see in horror.

Her final act that morning might have scaled a new peak of obsessive absurdity: she moved from one unoccupied cubicle to the next, smoothed the sheets down, and then, crouching awkwardly in the thin space between the head of the bed and the wall, oiled the knobs for the wall-mounted valves that brought oxygen into the room.

Mr. Hofer, a leading light in the right-wing Freedom Party, is counting on Austrians to make him the first far-right head of state in post-World War II Europe when they vote on Sunday, the final act in a yearlong tussle that has turned into a contest to mold the fate of the Continent's heart.

They aren't the only song of fire and ice we'll see come together on 'Game of Thrones' The fanatical hype around the final act of Game of Thrones comes from a more fundamental tension: How do you end a story that's gone out of its way to break all the rules, tropes, themes, and structures we've come to expect from stories?

Wandering around the ruins of West Virginia, and exploring the detritus of a dead civilization, I realized something about the Fallout series in general: Bethesda's "critical path" quests that serve as the games' inciting incidents, drive its primary story forward, and bring it to a final act (such as it is in an open-world RPG) aren't very well written.

It's covered in an oily slick of dark and iridescent paint, but periodically significant colors splash across it: the green of money and the state, in the form of a throne; the red of sex and sin in Gertrude's satin-draped bedroom; the merciless and earthy brown of death in the grave dirt that strews across the stage in the final act.

If the Constitution forbids a state from separating its bathrooms and changing facilities based on physical anatomy, then we are in the final act of a judicial theater of the absurd where, like Humpty Dumpty's declaration to Alice in Lewis Carroll's "Through a Looking Glass," the Constitution's words mean only what federal judges say they mean, neither more nor less.

If the original "Colonus" functioned as a misty-eyed tale of redemption for the Theban king damned by prophecy to marry his mother and kill his father, then director Lee Breuer's "Gospel" amplifies the anger and adulation manifest in Oedipus' final act with soaring musical numbers delivered by a choir clad in neon eighties costumes ranging between glossy Easter finery and glittering African garb.

Although it is initially unclear who the vlog's intended audience is, the clip's final act serves as a chilling reveal: In the next cut, the woman is shown sitting on the couch next to her husband the following holiday season, presenting the footage to him of herself performing excitement about and gratitude for her exercise bike in a supercut, evidence of fealty to the Peloton and, by extension, to him.
