FX's 'The Strain' Season 2 Finale Spoilers: Twitter Reacts To Mia Maestro/Nora Martinez Twist!

Based on Guillermo Del Toro's bestselling graphic novels, published by Dark Horse Comics, the Season 2 finale of The Strain aired on FX. In Episode 13, Twitter had lots to say as Eph Goodweather (Corey Stoll) discovered Nora Martinez (Mia Maestro)'s shocking twist!

In our previous recap, Councilwoman Justine Feraldo (Samantha Mathis) had discovered the whereabouts of Zach (Max Charles)'s whereabouts. With the Occido Lumen in the hands of Alonso Creem (Jamie Hector), all bets were off as Abraham Setrakian (David Bradley) had to enter a bidding match with Thomas Eichorst (Richard Sammel). While Eph and Nora tried to reconcile their differences, Gus (Miguel Gomez) and Quinlan (Rupert Penry-Jones) teamed-up to join the battle against The Master.

In our recent recap, because Eldritch Palmer (Jonathan Hyde) pulled out his funding, Abraham won the bidding for the ancient book. As Thomas launched an attack against Abraham, so did Kelly Goodweather (Natalie Brown) against Eph and Nora. As Abraham formed a truce with Quinlan, Nora fought to the death against Kelly for Zach's soul. Unfortunately, Eph was too late to rescue his son and save Nora, who had become infected. Nora had to sacrifice herself before she would let The Master take over.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Maestro discusses her character's grim fate, "Nora had been a substitute mother for Zach the whole season, and of course everyone was just waiting for that fight between the two women. It does make sense and I think it's lovely that Nora decides to take her life with her own hands and didn't expect anyone else to do it. She knew Eph wouldn't be able to do it, so it's a lovely choice from the writers to go that way, just to lay her sword down on the tracks and go that way. "
