🤐 SPOILER ALERT 🤐
No one delivers a one-liner quite like Arnold Schwarzenegger. “It’s totally FUBAR,” his character, Luke Brunner, says as he speeds away in a van full of secret agents. The team of CIA operatives takes wedding crashing to a whole new level after pulling off a successful yet bloody undercover mission in the FUBAR finale.
“We were in that van and Fortune suggested that Arnold could say ‘FUBAR’ for that last line. It was such a last-minute thing,” Travis Van Winkle (Aldon), tells Tudum. “I said, ‘Let’s try one more thing,’ because we had not landed on the name yet,” Fortune Feimster (Roo) adds. “I was thinking about everything that had just happened. We just had this FUBAR moment.” So, how did things get to this epic turning point? Keep reading for a breakdown of that explosive ending.

What does “FUBAR” actually mean?
The show gets its title from Schwarzenegger’s final line before the screen cuts to the credits, but what does “FUBAR” stand for? Watch the video below to find out.
Does Boro survive the explosion?
Let’s just say you can never get too comfortable after killing off a villain. In Episode 10, Luke successfully rescues his daughter, Emma (Monica Barbaro), from the reactor subbasement. He promises to help Boro (Gabriel Luna) out as well, but due to orders from the control room, Luke betrays the arms dealer and leaves him behind as the subbasement explodes. It’s a happy family reunion for the father-and-daughter duo as they close out their operation together — or so it seems…
What happens at Tally’s wedding?
Several months later, it’s Tally’s (Fabiana Udenio) big day as she prepares to get married to Donnie (Andy Buckley). Things couldn’t be going any better for the Brunner family, but Luke has one final mission: to win his ex-wife back. Before she walks down the aisle, he professes his love to her and reveals that he was absent during their marriage because he’s a CIA agent. As proof, Luke hands Tally a National Distinguished Service Award medal, along with a flash drive containing security footage of a raid he did in Mozambique.
Unbeknownst to Luke, Boro isn’t actually dead. He’s risen from the ashes (literally) and planted a bomb inside the car that Tally and Donnie plan to drive away in after their wedding. Outside of the chapel, the two Twinning Formula Fitness Supply brothers attempt to pick the lock open, but they end up accidentally setting off the bomb.
With Boro’s grand scheme going awry, three of his armed men enter the chapel and begin shooting. “It was sick. We just shot the f**k out of a church for the better part of two weeks basically,” Jay Baruchel (Carter) tells Tudum. As the wedding guests duck for cover, Luke and Emma pull out their guns to take down the bad guys. The gun smoke starts to settle, but in walks Boro with a gun held to Tally’s head. He’s willing to spare her life only if Luke and Emma shoot one another. “Tally, you’re the love of my life. Everything that you’ve gone through with me, you deserve a medal,” Luke tells his ex-wife (emphasis on the word medal). Suddenly, she realizes what he’s trying to say. Tally pulls out the spiked medal from her pocket and stabs Boro in the thigh, allowing Luke and Emma to shoot him dead.
Where are the CIA agents headed next?
Before they can catch their breath, Tina (Aparna Brielle) calls Luke from the headquarters. Because they’ve compromised their identities, a transportation officer has been sent to the chapel with a van to pick up Luke and his team. Everyone gets in, including Tally, and she learns that she’s surrounded by secret agents. Now that they’ve all been revealed and can no longer return home, what happens next? “What I love is that [the ending] leaves it so open-ended, but you want to know what’s going to happen next. Anything can happen, and I think that’s the best way to leave it, too,” Van Winkle tells Tudum. Milan Carter (Barry) has his own theory. “Hopefully we go to Memphis, get some barbecue,” he jokes.
FUBAR is now streaming on Netflix.
