The season finale of The Family Business: New Orleans Season 1 delivered an action-packed, twist-filled episode that left us eagerly awaiting Season 2. This final episode wrapped up key storylines while introducing new conflicts that will undoubtedly shape the future of the series. Let’s break down the major moments from this thrilling episode.
A Rapid-Fire Finale
This episode felt like it went by in the blink of an eye. Despite its usual 40-minute runtime, the pacing was so intense that it felt like a much shorter installment. With so many revelations packed into a single episode, it’s no surprise that fans are already anticipating the next season.
One of the biggest talking points from this episode was the shocking reveal of who took out Pierre LeBlanc. Many viewers had their theories, but true to The Family Business style, the show threw us a curveball. The mastermind behind Pierre’s demise was none other than Marie. Dressed in all black, hoodie up, she executed the act with precision. While she initially seemed to cover her tracks well, surveillance footage later exposed her actions. Now, the big question is: how will she manage to keep this secret buried?
The Aftermath of Episode 7
Picking up where the previous episode left off, we saw Larry and his crew executing their ruthless plan against the Crescent Boys. They cleared out everything—money, drugs, and weapons—leaving behind nothing but destruction. The attack was brutal, but it also came with significant gains for Larry’s crew.
Meanwhile, Saint found himself locked up alongside Gabriel. This pairing had been speculated by fans, and it finally came to fruition. Gabriel, being both highly intelligent and influential, immediately assessed the situation. While Sheriff Clay believed she had complete control over Saint, Gabriel’s strategic mind made it clear that this wasn’t the end of the road for him. If anything, Saint’s incarceration was just another step in Gabriel’s larger game plan. With Gabriel working behind the scenes, it’s clear that Saint won’t be locked up for long.
Prince's Desperation
Prince was on a mission to return to the Crescent Boys’ spot and uncover the truth. Accompanied by Lauren, he rushed to the scene, only to find devastation. Amidst the chaos, they discovered Jace—shot, but alive. His survival was a relief, especially considering his sharp wit. Fans will likely look forward to hearing more of his unforgettable one-liners in the next season.
Meanwhile, Saint managed to get his one phone call, reaching out to John LeBlanc for help. However, John, preoccupied with his wife, brushed him off, hanging up abruptly. This dismissal fueled Saint’s suspicions. In his mind, this wasn’t just indifference—it was betrayal. That moment likely cemented a grudge that will drive Saint’s actions in the future.
The Surveillance Footage Mystery
Elsewhere, Maris and DJ were poring over security footage from the Midnight Blues club on the night of Pierre LeBlanc’s murder. Although the video quality was poor, they caught a glimpse of a hooded figure with a weapon. While they couldn’t immediately identify the culprit, the build and movements suggested a female assassin. By the end of the episode, it was confirmed that Marie was behind the hit. Her knowledge of the club’s layout should have given her the upper hand, but she overlooked one crucial detail—the hidden camera.
The big question remains: what was Marie’s true motive? Was it personal revenge, a power move, or something else entirely? This revelation is bound to cause shockwaves in Season 2.
Gabriel’s Revenge Plan
Gabriel’s release from jail marked another pivotal moment in the episode. The moment he stepped out, it was clear he had one thing on his mind—revenge. The betrayal by Big Shirley had fueled his rage, and now he was more dangerous than ever. Armed with knowledge, resources, and a vendetta, Gabriel’s next moves will likely bring serious consequences to those who crossed him.
Lauren and Prince’s Relationship Drama
As if the chaos of the night wasn’t enough, Lauren and Prince found themselves caught in another storm when they took Jace to the hospital. Simone, Prince’s ex, arrived at the scene, instantly igniting tensions. Her jealousy over Lauren was evident, and she wasted no time in making it known. But beyond the personal drama, there’s an even bigger issue looming—John LeBlanc’s reaction.
Lauren had previously warned Prince that her father wouldn’t approve of their relationship. If Simone decides to spill their history to John, it could have major repercussions. Given how volatile John can be, it’s safe to assume that this storyline is far from over.
Larry’s Unexpected Appearance
Just when things couldn’t get any crazier, Larry made his way to the hospital. After sustaining a hand injury during the shootout, he sought medical attention. However, his visit wasn’t just about treating his wound—he had a run-in with Lauren. Despite everything that had transpired, Larry showed complete disregard for Prince, making it clear that he saw him as nothing more than an enemy.
Final Thoughts
This season finale delivered everything fans love about The Family Business: New Orleans—action, suspense, betrayal, and unexpected twists. With Saint plotting revenge, Gabriel on a warpath, Marie’s secret exposed, and multiple conflicts brewing, Season 2 is set to be explosive.
