Editor's Note: This is going to be our last weekly review of The Following , at least for now. Read into it what you will, but it's not getting enough traffic this season to continue for every episode, unfortunately. We'll be back for the season finale though - and perhaps a notable episode or two in-between.

"Sorry, he kept singing 'Let it Go'."

Warning: Fullfor the episode follow...Not only did "Fly Away" ramp up the thrills and close out a big chunk of this season's story, it made the perfect argument for shorter Following seasons. Hell, what is this? Episode six? Perfect. Or even an eight episode run would be better, since we're now seeing more of those these days. 15 episodes, as we discovered last year, is just way too long for this particular premise.So there I was, assuming the Lily/Joe arc would drag on for five more episodes, giving us more stare downs and power plays within murder manor (like we saw with Havenport), but this episode blew that all to hell almost immediately. In fact, post-coitus, Joe was kind of over Lily.Sure, Joe succumbed to Lily's spell last week, but as soon as she mentioned Venezuela he realized that, despite her being a sicko, he wasn't ready to go all-in. He also didn't realize how much of a target she was and that Ryan was actually in town looking for him. Because in order to make him feel safe and secure, she didn't tell him things that would make him panic.Which made him not only go sulking back to Emma, but in full-blown "I'm a failure" mode no less. Plus, were there little clues in there about Emma being the actual writer of the new Joe Carroll true crime book? Or was I just reading too much into it?Anyhow, I liked that Joe actually stuck to his word regarding Emma, and that even though Mandy sort of betrayed the two of them and ratted their escape plan out to Lily, she wound up tagging along with them in the end - as they sped off leaving Lily's life in shambles. Very fun to hear Joe act so callous toward Lily over the death of Luke too (though I suppose she doesn't know he's still alive).As far as our heroes went this week, they actually sort of got s*** done. Aside from being just a few steps behind Joe and the FBI mole that is. It's funny how the mole was introduced this year to retro-explain the FBI's ineptitude in Season 1 - even though Agent Mendez would rather blame it all on f*** ups than admit to there being a mole.Anyhow, Mike knowing that there's a mole now, and that Joe was alive, led him to Ryan's motel doorstep, ready to go "off the reservation" with him and Max. But something's gotten all twisted inside of Mike, giving him a more sadistic edge. And I loved it. The way he just stabbed at Luke when he and Lily were having the standoff on the bridge. Or how he almost beat Luke to death with his bare hands.I know they're trying to make a point about Mike still suffering from untreated trauma, but on the same exact episode, Ryan full-on stabbed Sam in the gut and killed him on the steps of the mansion. So I understood why Max would be shocked by Mike's actions, but Ryan shouldn't turn his nose up too high.
