At the end of Evil, Leland Townsend was overpowered by Kristen Bouchard, David Acosta, and Ben Shakir, and subsequently confined within a box at the church's silent monastery.
Leland's cunning and manipulative schemes culminated in a final, desperate act during the show's positively-reviewed final season. His ultimate goal was to perform a ritualistic sacrifice.
Leland's Final Confrontation
In a shocking turn of events, Leland broke into Kristen Bouchard's home. His insidious plan was to abduct both Kristen and her daughter, Timothy, intending them for a sinister ritualistic sacrifice involving a group known as "the 60." This infiltration set the stage for a tense and climactic showdown within the very sanctuary of Kristen's home.
Kristen's Desperate Defense
Faced with this terrifying threat to her and her child, Kristen responded with fierce resolve. She managed to physically overpower Leland, employing a chokehold to subdue him. This pivotal moment demonstrated Kristen's strength and determination to protect her family from Leland's malevolent intentions.
The Monastery's Silent Confine
Following Kristen's decisive action, she received crucial assistance from David Acosta and Ben Shakir. Together, they ensured Leland's capture and removal. Instead of being handed over to secular authorities, Leland was transported to a highly secure and secluded location: the church's silent monastery. There, as a measure to neutralize his threat permanently, he was placed inside a specially designed box, effectively imprisoning him and silencing his influence. This unconventional confinement marked the definitive end of Leland's active menace, leaving him to a quiet, isolated fate within the spiritual institution.
