As mentioned in a previous review on BFU True Crime's last episode, my honest opinion is that Unsolved: True Crime seemed to get slightly less entertaining as it went on. This also applies to Unsolved: Supernatural as well. There were newer episodes (especially the Loey Lane one) that weren't as engaging as the older ones, and you could tell in this final season that Shane and Ryan were stressed. They even say it themselves, they had to film 5 episodes in one go, and they were all sleep deprived by the end of it.
But this final episode (of the Unsolved Series as a whole, as BFU True Crime ended around July 2021) is a good homage and a nice wraparound conclusion to the first time Ryan and Shane came into contact with the paranormal. They revisit the first demon they ever had the chance to communicate with, that being Sallie in Kansas, and make stupid jokes, saying dumb things to it's face, messing around with it. Ryan and Shane even half-switch their personality types around, with Ryan becoming less fearful of Sallie and instead choosing to go insane as a coping mechanism (which seems to work) and Shane even responding "Who knows?" At the question of "do Ghosts/Demons exist?", and comparing and contrasting that to their first ever Unsolved Supernatural episode, we can tell that Shane and Ryan have come a long way in terms of bond, understanding and respect for each other's beliefs.
Not only is this final episode of BFU filled with moments that would make you laugh, it's also an episode where the entire atmosphere will make you terrified of potentially the most active paranormal entity Shane and Ryan have ever encountered (Sallie), but it is also one where you will feel the sadness of a beloved series concluding in front of your eyes.
Thanks for the 5 years worth of laughs, discussion, horror, terror, clownery and enthusiasm, Ghoul Boys.
