R.I.P. Jessica Walter.<\/b>
\nThe Archer season 12 finale paid tribute to the great Jessica Walter, who died in March at 80 years old. The episode, titled \u201cMission: Difficult,\u201d concludes with Archer (voiced by H. Jon Benjamin) reading a letter written to him by his mother, Malory (Walter). \u201cMy dearest Sterling,\u201d the note reads, \u201cdo you remember what I told you on your first day of training? You probably don\u2019t, but it was, \u2018Always know where the exits are.\u2019 And with all the chaos and confusion of late, I thought it would be wise to make my own exit, in my own time, on my own terms, and in a way that I can never be found by my enemies, or all my lovesick paramours, who are literally countless.\u201d It continues: \u201cAnd so I\u2019ve decided that it\u2019s time to pass the torch. Try not to burn yourselves with it. And I know my decision may seem abrupt, but we don\u2019t always get to choose the perfect moment. Take care of yourselves, especially you my Sterling, because from wherever I am, I\u2019ll be watching over you. Love, mother.\u201d In the final shot of the episode, Malory is relaxing on a beach with a drink in one hand. In the other? The hand of Ron Cadillac, voiced by Walter\u2019s real-life husband, Ron Leibman, who passed away in 2019. It was a lovely homage to an incredible career. «Take care of yourselves, especially you my Sterling, because wherever I am I’ll be watching over you.» #ArcherFXX pic.twitter.com\/8vochHSq4f Archer (@archerfxx) October 7,2021 pic.twitter.com\/eITxA5YsIU \u2014 Archer (@archerfxx) October 7,2021 Omfg that\u2019s right.

She got to have both pivotal kick butt scenes and a touching send off at the same time.
