Here's the official description of the episode as well as a preview clip and some new official promotional images provided by Warner Brothers.

OMG... this is the best cartoon series EVER! I HATE CN for canceling it.They are a joke!
DON'T KILL AYA!!!
If...and I was hoping she'd come around, with her superior intellect and is punishing innocents because she was jilted. Displays every bit of the worst in any formidable villain... there's no hope. How will she pay for her crimes. Sorry she's gotta go...and deservedly so!
I agree she's hateful. She took obvious sides in "Love is a Battlefield " and her anger sustains her activity. Destruction is their only option.
They cant destroy Aya, she is part of the will entity, so i dont think she can die
I think destroying Aya despite what she is done is most unfair because Razer himself helped kill Green Lanterns at the beginning of series 1 - he was allowed restitution for what he has done - how comes Aya is not allowed to atone for her own sins?
Yes, she is a monster now, but Razer and even Hal became monsters too and yet with friendship and love, they became good again. Bearing in mind that Aya comes from a living being - and I just hope it would be mostly from Ion, there is still some good left in her. It just needs to be ressurected and Razer's LOVE for her will be the one weapon that will break through all those defenses she's put up around herself.
Yes, I am being naive, but I strongly, strongly believe that love does conquer all.
Where is Saint Walker when we need hope? And where are the Star Sapphires when we need love? The Indigo Tribe ought to make an appearance too in the finale for compassion because I reckon we need all this right now. It has been shown time and again that the Green Lanterns power of will is not enough to rectify the Aya/Razer conflict and bring peace to the universe.
Wow what stunning story arc, effects and animation...never expected a Rubik's cube planet. Razer's heart is true gold even though he's associated with rage.
I concur where is Saint Walker and if love is the strongest force in the universe superseding even will....perhaps it's still a chance.
However here's a tantalizing option...Aya's a time traveling device... maybe it's Blue Hope rearing in my thoughts...but if they can intervene somehow... obtain the device... all she's done and become can be reversed.
Glad Razer's retained some of Saint Walkers training. Love this series!
Amazing a superior technology requires a carbon cycle or organic to aid them...ironic since they also created the Anti-Monitor.
Well Aya's definitely more cunning... but allowing herself to be consumed by hate is not smarter. Razer's so genuine and my favorite still. Interesting notion that a time device might be a leverage.
Hate this shows cancellation.
It's a great pity that Aya herself does NOT know of her own existence. That unbeknown to her, she IS a sentient LIFE FORM having been created from the living beings residing from the GL Central Battery in Oa. I am hoping she was formed mostly from Ion (that would make her Ion's daughter) and here I am hoping that Ion makes an appearance in the last episode to implore to her.
If Aya uses the time travel device, she will be writing her own self out of existence - as she has no idea that she is organic too...
I was reeling from what Razer said at the end of this episode. This character has grown so much - even using meditation techniques from Saint Walker - what a sight to behold. I love him even more so now than before and I just hope this one character continues in the comics.
If they kill aya they are killing the series (if it doesn't actually get cancelled that is)She is one of the first main characters and one of the most loved ones, being evil or not. Hopefully razaya will still happen somewhere down the track, but hopefully being an organic lifeform and a part of ion will help stop her!
I hope the two characters - Razer and Aya will continue in the comic series as well.
The time travel answer is a possibility but it would still mean that Aya has the potential for evil on a grand scale. There's not much time left, and things are not looking good for a happy ending... :(
I concur these characters are BRILLIANT creations...such EXCELLENCE! I think if a popularity poll was taken that all the characters would turn out very well and without a doubt Aya would be very near the top... but truth be known Razer takes the prize. He's hot (even his name)...manly, mysterious, courageous, deep, loyal and extremely well portrayed by Jason Spisak. Although he's still much to learn...everyone I know adores him...men who want to be like him...woman who want to love and nurture his soul.
Everyone's sad this is soon to end...with the outcome happy or not we're glad to have been a part of such a great adventure.
Thanks...
I agree, Razer does take the prize for the most beloved character of this series. I have fallen deeply in love with this character ever since "Razer's Edge." He has the most growth, and what endeared him more is that it was all for his own good and that of others. Learning meditation techniques to quell his anger and rage made him stand out even more as a man to love so very deeply.
The fact that he has lost 2 loves of his life and yet manages to shoulder on, and continues to love Aya to the very end means to me that this is one man to aspire to. Even his voice is so incredibly sexy.
I shall miss him terribly when this series ends next week but at the same time I can only be too grateful to the producers, writers, directors, animators and the rest for providing us, me specially great memories of this series and more importantly that of Razer to keep.
An absolutely amazing episode and it is heart wrenching to know this series is going to be cancelled viewing it's weekly brilliance and highly intelligent scripts. The dialogue performed by the actors are just intense. Razer's final realization that Aya is not who she was and cannot be saved is probably the most poignant moment. With only one episode left it's almost inconceivable, since almost everything's been tried, to see how they'll destroy her. The only possible hope is in the time device.
Guy although funny and always an interesting character is by no means the true hero that Hal Jordan is. Hal's intuitive, intelligent, and the most moral character in the universe.
It is truly sad corporate greed could not find a way to salvage one of the most successful animated series I have ever seen and even more so that Warner Brothers isn't smart enough to sell it to another network.
I own the first DVD release and I will be purchasing the second. It would have been nice if for some reason they were able to just continue it on DVD's, something I would have continued to purchase as long as the series was produced.
My deepest gratitude to all those involved in producing and animating the series and to all the actors contributions in putting soul into our favorite and newer characters.
