Rayne (Holland Roden) immediately lunges at her father, the vampire king Kagan (Manu Bennett), with her double blades. She cuts off his arm, but it regrows in a matter of seconds. They exchange blows and continue their fight over the ruins of the church in Morton. Severin (Tom Riley) is laying on the ground, exhausted, but back in his human form after battling the demon Beliar.
Kagan tells Rayne that he impressed with her strength, agility and endurance considering she is half human. Rayne demands that Kagan tell her why he killed her mother. Kagan explains, in a mocking manner, that she had simply outlived her usefulness. He executed the mothers of all of his children. She asks why he would do something like that, and he tells her that he is not interested in having a wife or lover, he simply used the women, human, vampire or otherwise, to provide him with offspring to do his bidding. He wasn't trying to build a family, he was trying to build an army.
Severin gets up and tries to help Rayne defeat Kagan, but Kagan sends a horde of bats to attack Severin. He runs away from the bats, finding refuge in the ruins of a building in town. He watches out the window as Rayne and Kagan continue their vicious fight.
Rayne is starting to tire, much to Kagan's amusement. She asks him if he remembers her mother's name. Kagan tells her that she was not important enough to him for him to bother remembering her name. Furious, Rayne eyes begin glowing red. She attacks her father with superhuman speed, leaping past him with her blades. Kagan stands there, stunned. It can't be, he says. Suddenly, his head falls from his body, hitting the charred ground with a thud. His body falls a moment later. The sun begins to rise, burning Kagan's remains to a crisp.
Rayne walks away from the ruins of the church and through the destroyed Morton Main Street. Severin emerges from a building. Rayne collapses in front of him from exhaustion. She she wakes up she is in a moving car. Severin, who is driving the car, tells her to rest. He's driving them as far away from Morton as they can get.

I have mixed feelings about Brimstone. On one end, I found the story engaging and interesting, but on the other end, I was a bit disappointed by the final few episodes that felt a bit rushed.
The show really gets on another gear in the second half of the season, with everything moving faster, all leading the entertaining final battles.
"The series started to redeem itself and to grow a little on me, but the final few episodes felt a little too by-the-book and focused on Rayne, making the deaths of key players like Tremaine and Kagan less saddening and satisfactory, respectively. Still an interesting series though.
