I actually think the ending in Astoria, OR does a good job of summarizing the hell of isolation that he's now trapped in because "I destroy everyone I love" or whatever. What annoyed me the most about the ending is that the previous episode had shown that he was done with his Dark Passenger- in essence: he's no longer a killer by nature. Without that want/need in him, he could start over with Hannah and Harrison as a human being, and not a monster.

I'll forgive the whole 'how did he survive a hurricane?' question because - let's be honest - this show requires extended, heavy suspension of disbelief. Seriously, how many people would respond to a custom surgical bowie knife to the chest with nothing but a mildly anguished grunt?

Yet the death of Deb seems to send him back into that 'woe is me, the lonely life of a killer' kind of attitude...except there's no Dark Passenger. So is he back to being a killer, or is he just empty inside? He's already shown that he isn't religious so I can't see him isolating himself as some kind of divine penitence. And moving to Argentina without the Dark Passenger should eliminate the threat to his family. So what has convinced him to live as a hollow shell of a human being on the other side of the US?
