<p>Obviously, Chase has achieved his objective: don’t wrap things up and let each person have their own view of what the ending actually was. However, I think that the quote of Bobbie’s about not “hearing it” at the end was quite telling about the Tony’s ultimate end. It just seems that this was deliberately put into this episode as a hint as to what was to happen. And, yes, throughout the series, Tony was always on guard for someone out to get him. The fact that Phil was out of the picture did not suddenly make Tony immune to other attacks.</p>
