The main plot of this particular episode is not significant. What IS significant is what happens to Jack. Regular viewers will know that Jack has a shrine to his late wife in the backyard. His wife will killed by a hit-run driver.
WARNING - SPOILER AHEAD. -But is is possible to spoil a cliff-hanger series final episode that has already been shown?
Later on, whilst questioning a man with whom Jack has "history", the man boasts to Jack that it was he who killed his wife. He throws this in Jack's face and mocks him. Jack is absolutely shattered.
At the end of the episode, it appears that Jack has become deranged and has lost all self control. We see the man drop his keys. Another car starts up, we see it is Jack's. We see the man pick up his keys and look up in disbeliever as the car roars towards him. A collision seems certain. And that is the end of the series!
