The ‘VisionQuest‘ finale is finally here, and the last chapter of the Disney+ series lands later today. Over the course of 8 episodes, the story has dug into grief, identity and the question of what makes Vision who he is. Fans now have just hours to wait before the mystery surrounding the Client is resolved.

Paul Bettany leads the cast as Vision, with James Spader returning as Ultron. Ruaridh Mollica plays Tommy Maximoff, Todd Stashwick plays the bounty hunter Paladin, and T’Nia Miller plays Jocasta. Kevin Feige and Jac Schaeffer are among the executive producers.

Marvel Studios has released a new teaser for Episode 8, and it keeps things as simple as possible. The 15-second clip contains no footage from the finale and shows only the word ‘TONIGHT’. It serves as a final reminder that the wait is almost over.

The finale, titled ‘Forever’, arrives on Disney+ at 9 p.m. ET and 6 p.m. PT on Nov. 10. That works out to 8 p.m. CT and 7 p.m. MT. In many regions the episode will land on Nov. 11, including 7:30 a.m. in India and 3 a.m. in Nigeria and Italy.

Terry Matalas, the showrunner best known for ‘Star Trek: Picard’, wrote and directed the finale. ComicBasics describes it as the longest chapter of the miniseries. The earlier episodes arrived in pairs, with the premiere on Oct. 13 in the US, followed by double drops on Oct. 20 and Oct. 27 and a single episode on Nov. 3.

The penultimate episode, ‘Immolation’, opened with a cold open set in 1939. It followed Phineas Horton and the original synthetic man J.I.M., also known as Jim Hammond, the original Human Torch. From there the story returned to Vision, who was forced to face his grief head-on.

By the end of the hour, Vision had obtained the code needed to save Lisa, but he surrendered to Paladin on the orders of the Client. The episode closed by revealing the Client’s face, which belongs to Spader, the same actor who plays Ultron. Fans are still unsure who the Client really is, and one popular theory suggests he could be the grandson of Phineas Horton.

The episode also drew a strong response from viewers. ComicBasics reported that it topped every other IMDb rating of the season so far.

‘VisionQuest’ Finale Hides a Bonus Scene in the Credits as Marvel’s WandaVision Trilogy Reaches Its End

Marvel has been building anticipation for the finale for days. A 30-second TV spot released on Nov. 5 promised one final surprise, and Comic Book Movie speculated that it could have an impact on ‘Avengers: Doomsday’. That connection has not been confirmed, so it remains a theory for now.

Matalas has also hinted at what is coming. He told audiences at New York Comic Con that one scene in the finale amounts to a longtime Marvel dream for him, though he did not say what it involves. Meanwhile, a recap of the finale appeared online early through Inverse on Nov. 4, and Comic Book Movie reported that social media was soon flooded with spoilers.

Viewers who want to avoid those spoilers should also keep watching once the credits begin. Multiple outlets have reported that the finale contains a single mid-credits scene, which would make it the only extra scene in the entire series.

Even with the finale on the way, Matalas has suggested the door is not fully closed. He told SFX that he is ready to make 10 more seasons and does not treat the ending as definitive. That leaves room for Vision’s story to continue if Marvel decides to move forward.

Bettany has framed the series around a simple idea. Speaking to ABC30, he said the lesson of the story is that family is forever, which fits neatly with the title of the final episode. After weeks of theories, leaks and promises, the answer to what that means for Vision and the people around him arrives tonight.

What are you most looking forward to seeing in the 'VisionQuest' finale?
