It’s the final episode of the Punisher. With so many characters needing a payoff we discuss how successful it was in our Punisher 213 Review podcast for “The Whirlwind”. We talk about our top five bullet points about this episode in our Spoiler filled discussion. As always make sure you’ve watched the episode before listening to the podcast.
Punisher 213 Review Spoiler filled Synopsis
Episode Written by: Steve Lightfoot
Episode Directed by: Jeremy Webb
After witnessing Krista Dumont’s fall and believing her dead, Billy Russo (Ben Barnes) full of rage tries to kill Dinah Madani (Amber Rose Revah) in retaliation. He is shot by her and forced to escape from the police as they arrive. Badly wounded Russo attempts to get help from a whiskey swilling back-alley surgeon Doctor Charles (E.J. Carroll), who true to his name dumps Russo in a back-alley wheelie bin after taking all his money. As Russo awakes in the bin with his wounds still open and bleeding the irony of his situation is not lost on his dark sense of humour.
Elsewhere and unbeknownst to Russo, both Dinah Madani and Krista Dumont (Floriana Lima) are still alive. As Krista awakes in hospital she is visited by Madani who forgets to bring flowers, chocolates and a bunch of grapes but remembers to bring lots of attitude! Meanwhile, a deal made between the Schultz’s and Frank Castle to exchange David Schultz (Todd Alan Crain) for Amy (Giorgia Whigham) gets complicated. As Amy notifies Frank of Pilgrim’s whereabouts, she is only kidnapped by the Pilgrim during the ensuing shootout between him and Frank.
At the same time Curtis Hoyle (Jason R. Moore) goes off script to free David and turns him over to Detective Sergeant Brett Mahoney (Royce Johnson). As the non-exchange of David and Amy gets crazy Pilgrim and Castle engage in a brutal hand-to-hand fight that Frank wins; but he doesn’t kill the Pilgrim after being asked by him to spare his sons. Instead Frank uses the man in black to secure a path to the Schultz residence where bullets go bang.
Finally, as Russo takes shelter in Curtis’ workplace basement, he waits for Curtis to sit with him until he dies. However, Curtis has called Frank who, with no chit-chat, executes Russo off-loading two bullets into his chest, killing him instantly!
Three months later, after sending Amy to Florida to learn scuba-diving, Frank resumes his duties as the Punisher while Madani (conscience clear) works for the C.I.A. (who she previously fought against)! Happy ever after!
