'Manhattan' Season 2 Finale Spoilers: Twitter Reacts Michael Chernus/Fritz Fedowitz Twist!

WGN America aired the highly anticipated Season 2 finale of Manhattan. In Episode 10, Twitter had lots to say about the shocking twist from Louis 'Fritz' Fedowitz (Michael Chernus) and the world's first atomic bomb.

As we previously mentioned, the second season will focus on the events leading up to Trinity test. This is the first detonation of an atomic weapon, which happened 70 years ago. While Charlie Isaacs (Ashley Zukerman) and Abby (Rachel Brosnahan) embrace and struggle with their unexpected new power on the Hill, physicist Frank Winter (John Benjamin Hickey), doesn't know how his A-bomb should be used. Meanwhile, Frank's botanist wife (Olivia Williams) battles with the top-secret compound's new commanding officer (William Petersen).

In our finale recap, with Rachel on the run with his child, Charlie risked his professional career and brought down Darrow for his lies. As the storm brewed, Frank Winter (John Benjamin Hickey) and Jim Meeks (Christopher Denham) found themselves in a standoff with the atom bomb. Though Fritz saved their lives, he couldn't control himself after Jim confessed for his wife's murder. As the atom bomb exploded, Fritz pointed the gun at himself and ended his life.

In an interview with Hitflix, creator Stan Shaw discusses how the ending came about, "We knew we were driving toward Trinity, which meant that after two seasons of talking about a bomb, we were finally going to see one. (The show is fictional, but we were never going to High-Castle the outcome of the test.) And it was clear from an early stage that Meeks and Fritz's story was headed for tragedy, although I kept trying to talk myself out of it, mostly because I didn't want to lose Fritz (or Michael Chernus). Tommy Schlamme and the writers and I test-drove a lot of alternatives, including some playbook season-ending cliffhangers, but they all felt false. I actually put off writing that final scene until the last minute, which felt like a sign in itself that we'd found the right ending."
