television Lethal Weapon's Crazy Season 3 Finale Twist Could Set Up A Totally Different Season 4 By Laura Hurley 10 hours ago Random Article Blend Major spoilers ahead for the Season 3 finale of Lethal Weapon on Fox, called "The Spy Who Loved Me." Lethal Weapon has been an intense show with a penchant for crazy cliffhangers from almost the very beginning, but rarely have the stakes been as high as heading into the Season 3 finale. Fans went into the episode not knowing whether Damon Wayans would be out as Murtaugh by the end of the hour and completely in the dark about whether or not there would be a Season 4. Well, we still don't know about a Season 4, but the finale ended on a twist that sets up a fourth season that could be totally different. The very good news for fans of Lethal Weapon as it is now is that the finale twist didn't involve Murtaugh being written out, and there's no sign that Damon Wayans' earlier statement that he intended to depart the show after Season 3 still holds true. Lethal Weapon showrunner Matt Miller recently explained what was really going on when Wayans threatened to quit; the Season 3 finale indicates that Wayans will be as much of a part of the show in Season 4 as ever, assuming Season 4 happens. Here's how it went down. Cole finally learned that CIA recruiter Tom Barnes is actually former CIA recruiter Tom Barnes, and his recruitment of Cole for various missions in Season 3 was off-the-books. The FBI was on Cole's tail because of it, and they went after Murtaugh to wear a wire and record Cole incriminating himself. Still stinging from what happened in the previous episode and afraid for his family, Murtaugh agreed. Meanwhile, Cole went on one last mission for Barnes before learning the truth, and he discovered a South American assassin taking aim at Natalie's fiance, Andrew. Natalie and Andrew were set to get married in just a couple of days and then take off for a year for Doctors Without Borders, which put Andrew on some unfriendly folks' radar. The mission went sideways when Cole had to toss the bad guy out of the window, when Barnes wanted him alive so he could get his hands on a lot of money. The money wound up in LAPD evidence, so Barnes had to cross a major line to get what he wanted. He kidnapped Natalie on her wedding day to hold her hostage for the $10 million. Cole called in a bunch of favors with the help of Murtaugh, who was overwhelmed with guilt about betraying his partner, even though they were on pretty bad terms at the time. Cole and Murtaugh met with Barnes to exchange the money for Natalie's location. The exchange seemed to progress as Barnes claimed... until Cole and Murtaugh turned their backs on him. Barnes pulled out a gun and shot Murtaugh, wanting to guarantee that nobody could chase after him. The bullet went in and out, which was good. Murtaugh was bleeding a lot, though, which was very bad. Fortunately, there was a very talented doctor on the scene, although sh
