There's a finale preview from EW. The whole thing is worth a read. but this is what leapt out at me...
I'm ok with either living Damien or dead Damien. I trust the groove that the writers have found, and they'll make their choices work. That said, I think the structure points to dead Damien. The Totem fight will subdue, but not trap Mallus. At that point, Damien will realize with Ray and Constantine's help that he can save Nora and prevent Mallus from getting free in the first place by going back in the past (end of time trumps paradoxes) and preventing Nora from accepting Mallus in the first place. That negates his resurrection and he and Nora share an embrace and cocoa before he winks out.
Will Sara get her wish to kill Damien?
I don’t know, man. I have huge ambivalence about that character, who would have been so easy to dispatch anywhere along the line for whatever the five years he’s been in the Arrowverse. I’ve grown increasingly fond of him. I, in a strange way, love him as a Legend at this point. I feel like his love of his daughter Nora has entirely redeemed him. I thought that moment in the last episode where he told Sara that he would take it all back if he could, Neal totally won me over in that moment. Obviously Sara is a little tougher than I am, but I don’t know. I saw something in her, I think her will buckled there for a moment. Honestly, it’s 50/50. It would be so satisfying to watch her get her satisfaction, but I think she’s moved on since then. Sometimes when you get what you want, you realize that it wasn’t what you wanted. I don’t think Sara is going to get exactly what she has been hoping for all those thousands of times she imagined killing Damien.
