After 5 Seasons with 10 episodes each, Mayans M.C. has finally come to an end. On Wednesday night the hit biker gang series aired its last episode. A spinoff of FX’ extremely popular Sons Of Anarchy, Mayans brought the viewer back into the world of gang violence. The Mayans were seen on SOA as a rival biker gang that dealt hard drugs and controlled the Southern California prisons.
Mayans M.C. follows the once respectable Ezekiel (EZ) Reyes. EZ was on his way to Stanford for higher education before he was sent to prison for killing a police officer. He then made a deal with Federal Agents to infiltrate a motorcycle club his brother Angel Reyes was a member of. That club of course is the Mayans.
How It Started
We see EZ rise from a low-ranking prospect to a full-time member to finally the deadly president. In the finale episode, we see EZ and Angle mourning the death of their father Felipe. Killed by the Sons Of Anarchy Felipe was the breaking point for EZ. In the rage and sadness of losing his father, Ez declares war on the Sons and gives an iconic speech.
“We fight because we love,” he declared triumphantly to a crowd of Mayans. “Because we love our brothers. Because we love our family and we want them to be safe.” as said by People.com.
It then cuts to a member of the Mayans paying a house call to one of the bar workers. He begins to tell her that she can not say anything about the club’s illegal dealings. He reaches into his pocket to pull out what the woman thinks is a gun. She proceeds to stab the biker to death only for him to reveal a one-way plane ticket and some stacks of cash.
She quickly goes to the feds for protection as one of the last scenes is her telling the government everything she has seen. Finally the whole club gatherers for what will be the last time. Angle makes his case for wanting out of the club as they also patch in one of the prospects. Then seemingly out of nowhere, the club grabs the Reyes brothers. They know that EZ is the “rat” they have been looking for.
How It Ended
To prove his loyalty they make Angel stab his brother Ezekiel as Ez takes his final breaths everyone in the club stabs him once. Angel is allowed to go free as after he leaves ATF agents can be seen storming the Mayans club house. We do not see any of the action but the many gunshots imply that the club did not go quietly.
The final scene is Angel Reyes and his son Maveric watching the waves of the ocean from the beach. They made it out of that dangerous life. They have lost everyone but they still have each other. The screen fades to black and Mayans M.C. has officially ended.
