The Shannara Chronicles gives us all the closure we we never knew we needed.

Another week of back-to-back episodes of The Shannara Chronicles and frankly we have more interesting material than we know what to do with.

We could talk about Queen Tamlin’s noble sacrifice, General Riga’s impressive take down, the intertwined destinies of Allanon and Mareth, Bandon’s quest to revive the Warlock Lord, or Eretria’s very precarious demonic situation. But it’s hard to overlook the most rewarding aspect of this two part episode.

Amberle’s return.

Wil has had a rough go of it this season. When he lost Amberle last year, he never truly recovered. In fact, when we first catch up with him we see he’s been engaging in some self harming behaviors just to be able to spend time with the memory of her. A far cry from the timid half-elf we grew to love in season 1.

So when Wil and Amberle first reunite inside the Elcrys tree, there’s a lot of underlying tension immediately felt. “You don’t know how many times I came to the Elcrys to try and talk to you,” Wil starts. “I know. I heard you.” “Then why didn’t you answer me?” “There was nothing I could say.” “How about goodbye? It all happened so fast. One minute we were in the sanctuary and the next you were…”

What takes us a second to pick up on is that Wil is essentially having dual conversations with both the Elcrys and Amberle. Because the two entities are one and the same now, they can speak for each other, and yet there’s a clear difference in the two beings. Both in a physical respect and in tone.

The Elcrys speaks as an ephemeral creature. Wise and true with a macro view of the world. Amberle on the other hand has history with Wil. She remembers him and knows what it’s like to feel hurt and alone. That doesn’t mean she’s willing to accept any pouty overblown manpain from Wil either.

Our Amberle confronts Wil head on, “I made the choice Wil. It was the only way to save the Four Lands.” “I know, and I’ve tried to make peace with that,” Wil responds. “It’s been difficult I know.” “Difficult? I loved you. I still love you Amberle. What we had…“ “What we had was a moment in time we can always cherish, but that time has passed.”

This scene walks an interesting line very well. It acknowledges that in this situation Amberle had all the power. She shut Wil out, made the choice to sacrifice herself without him, and didn’t prepare him in any way for what she was about to do. But ultimately that was her given right. Just like it’s Wil’s to be upset.

“Look. I know what’s at stake,” Wil begins. “The Warlock Lord is back and supposedly I’m the only one who can defeat him. Except I can’t. I’ve seen my truth and it’s not what you think.” “What did you see,” Amberle challenges. “That I fail. I don’t defeat him. The Warlock Lord kills everyone I care about. Allanon, Eretria…” “And Mareth,” questions Amberle.

It’s impressive that even trapped inside a tree, Amberle can call Wil out. Pointedly saying that she knows he’s not as alone as he claims. That his heart is beginning to stitch itself back together and that he’s going to get to a point where he can move beyond his loss. Amberle isn’t the only one that wants to get through to Wil. The Elcrys is up next.

“Unlike you and my father I’m not strong enough to save the world. The truth that I saw is that the Warlock Lord wins.” “Wil the truth is yet to be. The Warlock Lord is powerful in ways you have yet to encounter. His dark magic is unmatched but you can defeat him.”

The two go back and forth a bit more with Wil getting more frustrated at every turn. The Elcrys assures him that he can take down the Warlock Lord with the Sword of Shannara. Which is when Wil has to confess that the sword is broken.

“Nothing about the truth is simple,” the Elcrys begins. “The sword broke when your truth was revealed because you weren’t ready to face it.” “What truth is that?” Wil asks.

At this point, it seems as though the Elcrys realizes that Wil can’t hear what is being said because it’s coming from the face of Amberle. So she sends him to speak with his father and that’s where the final piece falls into place.

“How do I destroy the Warlock Lord so he never comes back?” Wil asks his dad. “You must sink the blade straight through his heart.” “What if I can’t? What if I fail?” “You’re a Shannara. The magic of your ancestors runs through your blood. It can defeat the Warlock Lord and cleanse the world of evil. But only if you accept your destiny and make peace with your past.” “But you and I are good now,” Wil remarks. “There’s one more you must face.”

Of course we all know who that person is right? It’s Amberle. In this final scene between the two, Amberle has very little to say. Which makes complete sense. This is no longer about explanations, guidance, or help. This is about Wil saying goodbye to the first love of his life. This is about closure.

Breakups are hard. Even harder, one would imagine, if they’re instigated by a series of apocalyptic events. But ultimately this scene is nothing more than a boy saying goodbye to a girl. Take notes guys — you could use them.

“I have to face you. You’re my last truth. You’re gone. And you’re never coming back. I have to let you go once and for all.” “That’s right. And nothing can bring me back.” “She loved you Wil,” the Elcrys chimes in. “And I loved her. But that moment in time has passed.”

With that true and deep acceptance, the Sword of Shannara is repaired, and maybe a part of Wil has been repaired as well.

The two part season finale of The Shannara Chronicles will air Wednesday at 10 PM on Spike TV.
