Lanterns Finale: Kerry Kills Hal, Noah's Secret Exposed
TVLine details the Season 1 finale of HBO's Lanterns, revealing Hal's killer and Noah's true nature as a Manhunter.
The Season 1 finale of HBO's Lanterns answered two big questions. TVLine reports that Kerry killed Hal Jordan after he revealed he knew Noah's secret. She shot him as he told her he loved her.
Noah is a Manhunter, one of the rogue beings created by the Guardians. TVLine's recap explains that Noah broke Sinestro out of prison to create a fear-powered lantern. He killed Hal to prevent him from telling Kerry the truth. But Kerry always knew her son was a Manhunter, though she thought he didn't know.
John Stewart weighs Noah's request to be killed but decides to let him live, trusting that his human side can prevail. John becomes Earth's Green Lantern, independent of the Guardians, and rewrites the oath to include embracing fear. The Halogram says its last words and disappears.
The episode ends with Noah heading to college and John flying for the first time.
