I gotcha, Kim.

It ends as a cliffhanger-- continued next season.

Near the end we seen him using the comb and nail clippers he had requested.

First he phones Allison to see if she got home OK. She's lying in bed crying because she got home too late for the hubby's bottle of wine and she's all stressed out and bummed to have let him down again. (He's asleep on the couch.) So she's pretty brief with the Captain and doesn't realize he's saying a kind of goodbye.

Then we see him roughly comb his hair. (I thought he then shrugged rather philosophically.) Then he starts using the clippers-- to snip the leads hooking him up to cardiac machinery. Monitors or external pacemaker, I dunno, but it seems he's either heading out to work or deciding to go ahead and die.

Maybe he thinks that from death, he will be able to help Allison with another vision. I dunno. It was all dramatic and ambiguous.
