Disaster stuck Eureka when Lucas's attempt to prevent the end of the world caused by the reversal of the poles scheduled to occur in 2000 years brought that end-date to the present. He created another magnetic pole in the middle of Eureka. With all metal objects (including an iron-supplement-taking Fargo) flying around the town, Henry, Tess, Lucas and Carter devise a plan and save the town. Yes, the same plot we get almost every episode, but the continual delivery of great lines and reactions so expected and beloved from our heroes keeps us watching.
Carter suffered from start to finish, first discovering his daughter, Zoe, got into Harvard premed a year earlier than expected. Then, Tess, his new love interest, reveals she's gotten a job offer in Australia. This is all in addition to the magnetic issues swirling around Eureka, Zoe's near death when she dove into a pool and it spontaneously caught fire, catching Zoe and Lucas about to do something that no father believes his little girl has ever done (even if she has a baby), and finally being told that his best friend, Henry, gave Zoe the letter of recommendation that will take her so far away.
His declaration after risking his life and saving the town again was the need for a vacation. And perhaps he will take him to go visit his lady, as Tess took the job and moved to Eureka. Zoe also left the town for school, with the promise she would come back to visit.
All in all, a satisfying episode. My favourite line was when Carter said to Tess "I love it when you talk nerdy to me." It will be interesting to see the face of Eureka next summer with season 4. Allison will be back, but Tess and Zoe will be gone...or so it seems.
What did you think of the finale?
I loved the episode and am sad Zoe may not be back next season, but we still have Joe to harass Carter.
