Last minute Shield predictions

One of the few shows I still watch tonight is having its series finale. Some predictions:
- Vic will try to save Ronnie, but fail.
- Vic will find out about Corrine, which will be his punishment (that the one thing that matters to him and the one he sacrificed Ronnie to save will turn on him).
- Shane won’t make it out alive
- Dutch will end up killing Lloyd, in self defense fulfilling the cat episode from a few years ago.
- Claudette will have a nervous breakdown.

This one didn’t come out, which upset me. But I wanted to post it because it was funny (even if out of focus). The police officer was taking a picture of the trophy:
