About That Squid Game Finale Cameo …
The series’s final scene slaps us with a big, spinoff-shaped question.
After the two fight, Myung-gi dies, and Gi-hun (who previously had admitted regret over how absent a father he was) throws himself off the edge of a rock tower so that Baby 222 can win, a move that shocks the game’s exhaustingly chatty VIPs into somber silence. The Front Man turns his back on the younger brother he shot at the end of season one (Lee’s unflappability has always aided that character’s overall discomfiting vibe) to retrieve Baby 222 and order the evacuation of the island. When Blanchett’s character pauses throwing down ddakji cards colored red and blue, like the American flag, and shares a look and nod with the Front Man, their interaction supports the series’s larger cyclical point about how the promise of this competition can work anywhere where people are downtrodden, desperate, and yearning for a second chance.
