Whoa, now that would completely shock us! ... Wait. What are you saying? That Cassidy will become a family annihilator? ... no, forget that. Maybe she'll run off with Ronnie? That would be cool.

I don't think she'd do in her father, maybe she takes out Shane for screwing with their family...

I still want to know how Corrine goes to jail for neglecting her kids and why she gets a lawyer towards the end of S7.

Mara kills Vic on a rampage but ends up fleeing to Mexico. Dutch and Danny get together and become a family and Ronnie ends up running the strike team.

I want to see Vic and Corrine renew their vows.... maybe even with him being in jail? (I don't want that)

Ronnie kills Vic or Shane; or better yet Corrinne kills both of them.

Something I've noticed is that Seasons 1-3, Vic was doing illegal things for personal/team gain. Starting at Season 4 and since then, while he has certainly crossed the legal line countless times, it has been to dish out poetic justic or to take care of his family/team members. What stands out in my mind is two scenes from Season 4, when Shane and Vic visit a street vendor that Shane is seemingly providing protection and asks Vic if he wants a taste(vic, of course, declines). The second scene in that season that stands out is when the Strike Team come upon the trunkload of cash. Vic and Shane share an insinuating look as Vic subsequently closes the trunk lid and the idea of skimming from it. Its true that Vic has the Terry murder to answer for yet, but lets ruminate : Terry died doing the 'right' thing. I've seen the term 'full-circle' and handful of times in this thread and I think thats appropriate to consider. Maybe Vic dies doing the right thing, maybe poetic justice deals itself up a dish. But Vic dying is just too predictable an ending. Couldn't CCH Pounder have considered as much? And she is quoted as saying even she didn't see the ending coming. I can't even fathom what sort of ending we are in store for. I feel certain they will not disappoint.
One last thing, commenting on Claudette's verbal beration of ronnie in the S7 clips; maybe Vic's constant "off the grid" maneuvering might begin to stress Ronnie or at the very least make the job and dealing with claudette crazy-difficult. Maybe thats where a rift comes in.

Maybe thats where a rift comes in. Thats true. all this talk about vic saving his job, i never though someone else would be in the same position. ronnie's gonna look out for number 1 at the end of the day.

There'll likely be elements to the ending that we do anticipate but other elements that we didn't. That shipping container has been employed a few times throughout the series. Shane and Vic go in and are locked away, Aceveda opens it only to have Shane walk out. Yeah?

From the stuff that has already been published we know a few things:
- Corrine goes to jail for neglecting her kids and at some point gets a lawyer. - Vic and the new ICE agent Olivia trade favors, the idea that each of them uses the other to bring down Pezuela. - Vic is playing the Armenians and Mexicans against each other and keeping Shane at arm's length about what he intends to do. - Cassidy is in big trouble, getting deeper into the world Vic cleans up every day. - Claudette mentions another review panel for Vic (must have been rescheduled after the end of S6). - Pezuela has a guy named Rios doing his dirty work, probably running the Byz Lats from the cartel side of things. He gives them a drug pipeline, guns and protection, and they do what he says (my opinion). - Even if Vic is kicked off the force, he isn't going to do the private detective or 'cop for hire' stuff like his old partner Joe (see S6 - Haunts) and Lester the freak. I could see him completely joining the other side before doing that freak-show crap.
I've been wondering about a few things, here goes on my opinions:
"You don't get to do what you did for free, you're going to pay that bill" In one of the FX new clips, Rezian schedules a meet about the blackmail box. He doesn't have it, everyone knows it, but there is some reason to do this. It could be possible that Rezian wants to work with Rios to seal off his organization from the cops, avoid further bloodshed, keep the cops off his back and lay all of his problems at Shane's door. Shane gets caught on the run and that's all she wrote.
Can't you see Cassidy calling the cops on her mom to get back at her? It's a total Vic-type bitch move. Mom goes to jail, Cassidy runs away and Megan and Matthew get put in foster care.
"All I want to do is keep being a cop" I've posted this before, but I think all Vic gets left with in the end is his job. I think family disintegrates, team disbands in a way that can't be repaired personally and professionally, and he can work anywhere but at the Barn. I keep thinking that he'll be hired to work with ICE or some other federal agency just after the LAPD kicks him to the curb.
At the end of S6, Vic mistook Shane's actions at Corrine's house as a power play on his part when all he was trying to do was keep Vic's family from being hurt. I think that at the end, something like this happens again. Just a hunch and even though I can imagine a few scenarios, there is too much I just don't know.
The best way for it to end is for Vic to lose everything but his job. People who want what goes around to come around want Vic to die the same way Terry did. That's too simple. This series has been about taking shortcuts and avoiding consequences. I think the only way it can end is for someone or something close to Vic to suffer in a way that he can't fix. Something that was completely his mistake and responsibility.

A quick possibility of an ending for the shield could be terrys brother killing Vic. In Season 5 when Vic and Kavanaugh are going over how "Terry died" terrys brother was there and said he would deliver his sould to god in different words. So that might be a possibility of how it happens. I have noticed the shield has funny ways of foreshadowing things that happen. Like in season 5 when emolia is visiting with Guardo to apply for the grenade job, he pulls the trigger but it doesn't blow up. Vic says that the grenade was a dud and he knew this because "once you pull the pin, theres no going back" Thats great foreshadowing for the end of the season. B/C I think shane would take that back any second of any day of any year if he could.

How it will all end and Vic will "get what he deserves"
- Vic will rat out others (Aceveda, Shane) and get witness protection and a new life from the Feds.
- in his new life he will be forced to "hide" in a small upstate New York town, working as loveable, overweight, balding police commissioner who solves crimes with humor and creativity instead of violence and force ... this way no one could ever find him (who'd think to look there for a guy like that?) - and he'd get his one wish to still "be a cop"
- being forced to live this "new life" will be a fate worse than Hell and its own form of ironic eternal damnation for Mackey
;-)

It's been rumored that Mara and Shane go on the run and that they get fake IDs. I wonder if Shane will use "Cletus Van Dam" as the name for his fake id.

Remember last season when he tells Vic, "do you think I'd set up the same deal that we set up for Lem? The one you knew all of the details to?". He wouldn't intentionally use the Cletus Van Damm alias, as he knows that Vic is familiar with it.
That said, if Shane was put on the spot and had to give a fake name at short notice, I can imagine that he might go for "Cletus Van Damm". I know that I personally have a fake name at the ready that I instinctively would go for (not that I would ever be in a position to need it). It would give Vic an awesome line to use on Shane once he tracked Shane down - "Cletus Van Damm. Used to make Lem laugh, right?" (after Vic berates Shane for re-using the alias for hiring out the money train storage locker Shane says "Well it makes Lem laugh").
The more I think about it, I'd love the Cletus Van Damm alias come back to haunt Shane. Good call, sandiegocarman.

I can see Terry's brother killing Vic, just after Vic thinks he has gotten away with it all. As far as Vic "gets what he deserves" He deserves a metal for all the good he has done on the streets, and shitbags he has put away. "Getting what he deserves" Is all relative to what we think he deserves.

Actually, I mentioned the "Cletus Van Dam" thing in jest cause I thought it would be funny if he used that name and would be dumb enough to use that alias. But then again, it is Shane, so it's not entirely implausible.

Yeah, not as if Shane is necessarily brilliant under pressure. I agree with badcop in that its all in relevance as to what we think Vic deserves. Truth is he is an effective cop that takes pieces of shit off the street everyday. Granted he has done tons of fucked up shit But, killing terry is fine by me because Terry was a rat prick trying to take Vic away from his life and family. Screw terry, play with fire and you will get burned. Vic is a violent tragic hero. I am sure every one of us Shield fans thinks he deserves this or that and something different. Me personally, I hope he lives and rides out on top...although I doubt that happens.

Here is another thought I had, what if Vic and say Ronnie end up getting away with it ALL, then in the last scene they go to raid a drug dealers house and Vic gets killed in the line of duty, or Vic gets killed trying to save someone, after he is free and clear??? Vic may get what he deserves and NOT get caught, or killed by Shane.
Just a thought.
