Eureka‘s co-creator Jaime Paglia and stars Colin Ferguson and Neil Grayston promised the show’s final episode will deliver for fans, and say next week’s episode is a shocker. “When you’re not coming back [for another season] you can hit things a little harder,” Ferguson told critics at a press conference in Pasadena. “It’s an amazing episode.
