Pretty brutal stuff!

Was Sid alive or what? Not important on Joe country.

So many of the characters are put through the ringer. Two pretty upsetting major deaths here and the most chaotic second half in the series. Almost makes London Rules feel like it wasn't part of overall story.

Some stray notes:
Is Lamb dying? Will Standish rally and replace him? Very glad she had not actually fallen off the wagon. Lamb leveling with her was a real highlight of the whole series
When will Ho die?
Felt tense for both River and Louisa, honestly almost thought one of them was gonna die. 
Coe and Cyril scene and aftermath was another highlight in whole series.
Really wishing Taverner would get what she has coming, though series would probably have to end there.

Great cliffhanger!
