Several reasons contributed to the mixed reactions from fans. Some viewers felt that the Season 3 finale did not properly pay off elements introduced earlier in the season, such as the Mythosaur and the title of the penultimate episode.

Additionally, expectations were high going into the finale, with some fans expecting a major heartbreaker or the death of a main character. The quick pacing of the episode also left some viewers feeling jarring and inconsistent with the rest of the season.
