"Barry Season 4 Episode 7: A Thrilling Endgame"

In the penultimate episode of Barry season 4, the characters are presented with opportunities to change but ultimately reject them. Gene's story plays out like a slow-motion tragedy, while NoHo Hank completes his metamorphosis into a supervillain. The episode is not free of contrivances, but it still has value as perhaps Barry's last chance for a really funny, ultimately inconsequential crime-world subplot. The fate of the characters seems set in stone as the season finale approaches.
