The end is officially here for Monarch: Legacy of Monsters<\/a> (at least for season 1) \u2013 and the Godzilla series has given us quite the emotional finale!<\/p>\n Kurt Russell<\/a> (Lee Shaw), Mari Yamamoto (Keiko), Kiersey Clemons (May) and Anna Sawai (Cate) didn\u2019t hold back in episode 10 as their characters fought to escape the Hollow Earth and the Titans surrounding them.<\/p>\n Speaking of Titans, we were also re-acquainted with a very familiar face at the very end!<\/p>\n Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the dramatic and heartbreaking ending to Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.<\/p>\n The episode picks up as Cate is unexpectedly reunited with a younger version of her grandmother Keiko in the Hollow Earth. While Cate recognises her grandmother, Keiko is none the wiser, and is just shocked to see someone else there.<\/p>\n Cate, who has been separated from May panics, urging Keiko to help her find her friends.<\/p>\n Keiko discovers Cate\u2019s not part of a rescue party and the pair stumble across May and, to Keiko\u2019s surprise, Lee. He\u2019s forced to quickly explain that Keiko\u2019s been there much longer than she thinks \u2013 decades \u2013 and reveals how much older he is, before the pair have an emotional reunion. Keiko discovers that Bill is dead and is devastated \u2013 and that Cate is actually her granddaughter.<\/p>\n Shaw finds Keiko\u2019s Monarch pod, which she used to send a signal, and realises he can take everyone home if Keiko can rewire it.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Kentaro (Ren Watabe) needs information from his (very alive!) father Hiroshi (Takehiro Hira). Hiroshi says that, during his mission, he didn\u2019t know Godzilla would be there, but he needed to draw out a Titan to open a rift to prove his theory of a gateway leading to their world.<\/p>\n Hiroshi says that, had his parents (Keiko and Bill Randa) been believed, the destruction Godzilla had wrought on \u201cG-Day\u201d maybe wouldn\u2019t have happened. Kentaro\u2019s still fuming, believing Cate to be dead because of his father\u2019s theories and refuses to help him.<\/p>\n At Monarch, people are preparing for a wave of Titan events, with Tim (Joe Tippett) urging an unwilling crew to save Shaw, Cate and May.<\/p>\n Kentaro\u2019s mother, Emiko, is reunited with Hiroshi, telling him she was terrified when he didn\u2019t return after G-Day.\u00a0 She says that Kentaro still deserves a relationship with his father \u2013 but makes it clear she wants nothing more to do with him. Tim tracks down Kentaro, telling him that he found a signal coming from inside the rift, and that Hiroshi might know what to do.<\/p>\n Hiroshi watches a clip of his father, Bill Randa (played by John Goodman) saying he\u2019s made mistakes and wants to leave a legacy behind. Tim arrives and tells Hiroshi about the signal, with Kentaro convincing him to help.<\/p>\n It soon becomes clear that Hiroshi, Kentaro and Tim managed to pick up the signal, drawing Keiko, May, and Cate to them. But it\u2019s not quite the happy ending we hoped for.<\/p>\n It certainly seems so.<\/strong><\/p>\n As they hear Titans nearing, Shaw orders everyone to get in the pod but Keiko insists she\u2019s staying because there\u2019s nothing left for her on Earth. Cate convinces her that she still has work to do up there and says she won\u2019t allow the Titans to take any more from her.<\/p>\n Shaw explains that the plan is to lure a Titan to open the rift. But a Titan comes more quickly than expected, starting to destroy the pod. Shaw decides to jump out of the pod to manually re-attach some wires as Godzilla approaches. It gets into a brutal fight with another Titan, ripping it limb from limb, before turning its sights on Shaw. Shaw sets the pod in motion and runs to jump in.<\/p>\n Keiko has his hand as he trails on the outside of the pod but Shaw decides his own fate, thanking her and letting go and she screams after him.<\/p>\n Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Russell said of that scene: \u201cIt actually was [emotional to film]. Yeah. I just said to Mari last night, \u2018I have some sort of emotional connection with you. I don\u2019t know what it is. But the minute I see you, I cry!\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cI just thought it was important to capture the absolute tragedy in this adventure for her and for him. And it was tantamount that Wyatt would be able to capture that with her early on because it\u2019s, you talk about slow burn \u2013 that\u2019s the definition of it from 1 to 10. I mean, I really don\u2019t think you see that coming. And then it just gets heavier and heavier and heavier for her. So that\u2019s what drove us.\u201d<\/p> Keiko, Cate and May arrive back on Earth and are ushered inside by masked men \u2013 but Kentaro is there to greet them.<\/p>\n Hiroshi is reunited with Cate and then with Keiko but an unsettling tone descends as it\u2019s revealed that Tim has been working with Brenda (Dominique Tipper). Kentaro then drops the bombshell that they\u2019ve been gone two years, and a lot has changed.<\/p>\n An alarm goes off and everyone is rushed inside.<\/p>\n That\u2019s not the end though. The final scenes of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters show an appearance from none other than Kong, who beats his chest and roars before the series cuts to black.<\/p>\n So what will happen next? Another series of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters hasn\u2019t been green-lit just yet although director Matt Shakman told RadioTimes.com<\/strong> that he\u2019s hopeful the series will have a \u201clong future\u201d.<\/p>\n Next in the MonsterVerse though, we\u2019ll reunite with Godzilla and Kong in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, in which the Titans will fight a \u201ccolossal undiscovered threat hidden within our world\u201d.<\/p>\n Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is available to stream on Apple TV+ \u2013\u00a0sign up to Apple TV+ now<\/a>.\u00a0Check out more of our\u00a0Sci-Fi<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Streami<\/strong>ng Guide<\/a>\u00a0to find out what\u2019s on.<\/strong><\/p>\n Try Radio Times magazine today and get 10 issues for only \u00a310 \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>subscribe now<\/strong><\/a>.
