One by one these trials are defeating the dark wide with the thing they hate the most—the law. In full sight of the world. Kyle, Maxwell, Smollett, and whatever. This is the way it had to be. Not just defeat, but obvious, soul crushing defeat. In the end, the law will be intact, and those who brazenly (thanks, Schroeder) defied it will slide into disgrace and oblivion. Life is good.
