ATLANTA, GEORGIA: In the finale episode of Netflix's 'A Man in Full', it's time for Charlie Croker (Jeff Daniels) to fulfill his part of the deal with Mayor Wes Jordan (William Jackson Harper).

Wes Jordan has already asked Plannersbanc to stop seizing Charlie's assets and, in return, Charlie has to accuse his former football pal Norman Bagovitch of being a sexual predator.

During the press conference, Wes Jordan presents an honorary football to Charlie and expects him to make accusations on Norman.

However, during his speech, he looks at his son Wally (Evan Roe), sitting in the crowd and decides to deviate from the script. At this moment, Charlie takes the risky bet and does the right thing.

Instead of making vague accusations on Norman, he keeps his speech simple by praising Wes.

As Charlie concludes his speech, Wes expresses his discontent. On the other hand, Charlie's decision to not accuse Norman bring relief to Joyce Newman (Lucy Liu), Martha (Diane Lane) and Wally.

While Wes continues to be upset with Charlie's betrayal, a news report suggests that Charlie's positive statements about Wes has resulted a spike in his popularity and thus increasing his chance to be re-elected as Mayor.

The influence of 60-year-old real estate mogul on the residents of Atlanta, has eventually benefitted Wes, without making Norman a scapegoat.

Meanwhile, Charlie continues to face imminent danger from Raymond Peepgrass (Tom Pelphrey) who has been plotting to take him down.

'A Man in Full' is now streaming on Netflix.
