There haven't been any BTS photos of him from the finale and the last one was of him duct taped with Michael Ealy I saw a tweet from SA talking about a wrap gift he gave JS and thanking her for being the best partner in crime....

Just because we don't have any BTS photo of him doesn't necessarily man he's dying. I'm sure they wanted to keep as much of the finale secret as possible. I honestly don't see how they kill Mike off. This show barely has a regular cast. It doesn't make sense to me. U less Shawn actually wanted to leave. And he could give JS a wrap present and a thank you without leaving for good. I can see why they would worry peopel though so it's kid of old he would make that public knowledge and thus freak the fans out that he's dying on the show. Maybe the finale ends on a cliffhanger so they don't know yet who's living and dying? ISO. I just can't imagine they would kill Mike off. The show needs him. Besides he and Max being perfect together. His relationship with Ryan is like the heart of the show. The show loses a lot if the kill Mike. Plus I doubt his final confrontation would be with Michael's character, ift would be with Mark would think. But I also can't say I trust these new show runners entirely, not when they thought this Tom crap was a better way to got than letting Mike and Max be in a relationship.

I keep thinking that his relationship with both Ryan and Max is too important to the show for them to kill him off but its's hard not to be paranoid with this show. If they do I'm gonna be ticked. They've had Mike in a downward spiral ever since the end of season 1 and I really just want him to have a sl that involves him healing. They've started to do that with Ryan now it's Mike's turn

Exactly. I agree. He deserves to get to heal not die. If Ryan can overcome his demons which he fought for a lot longer, then so can Mike. And yeah it's definitely hard not to be paranoid with is crazy show, lol. But for right now I have to believe they know Mike is too important to kill.

So Mark reappears next week. Whether to the point that Mike will know, I'm not sure. But he's definitely back to some degree. I worry about what he's going to do. He's probably beyond p***ed at Mike for shooting him in the leg and he already wanted revenge on him to begin with. So I'm kind of scared of what he might do. Also worried about what Mike will do when he finds out Mark is alive like he suspected. He's been doing better at least to the point that he has been able to focus on other things at work and not be consumed with finding out what happened to Mark. I want him to keep moving forward and healing and letting go of his Mark vendetta. Nothing good can come from it.
