They didn't win because the Chairman is attacking them right now. Whether he has resources to bring them down or not, he's not going to give up. What's stopping him from sending his own personal forces to attack the people of Chorus, or using the ship's guns (and the Staff of Charon does have guns) to attack Carolina and Wash's Pelican? We don't know if they will all survive. We don't know when authorities are going to arrive. We don't if Hargrove will flee or will get arrested. We're told to assume it, but we can't know for sure because we don't see it.

And I know it's because since Epsilon doesn't see what happens, we don't either. But that doesn't resolve things. That's what, I think, this season was supposed to do.

Who says Epsilon had to run all of the suit's enhancements? In Dish Best Served, it looked like he was able to handle two enhancements (Adaptive Camo & Speed Boost), but the reason he failed was because Carolina pushed him too far. She told him to run all of her enhancements, which he couldn't do. Tucker wouldn't push Epsilon that far. Plus, the other Reds and Blues were pretty well armed. With the confidence and determination they all had, they were ready to handle anything. Maybe Epsilon should've had more faith in their skills and abilities. These are the same soldiers that fought an army of Tex robots and killed the Meta. You're telling me they can't handle Hargrove's soldiers? Since it's never really shown how powerful Hargrove's forces are I don't think Epsilon needed to kill himself.

Yes Epsilon had moments focused on him but most of them didn't last very long compared to those other characters/issues. Epsilon's issues weren't the main focus of the season and especially not the trilogy. I felt it needed to be in order to get a better emotional result for the finale. The finale was all about Church when not many of the other episodes in the trilogy were. It felt weird having the trilogy end on him when other characters had more impactful arcs. This season should've spent more time telling the story of what Epsilon was going through like they did the other characters. If Epsilon died during Season 10 maybe, that I think would've been better than this.

If it's everyone's story why didn't they end it with everyone? This season focused on Doyle, Felix, Locus, Kimball, and Carolina more than it did Epsilon. Since the Chairman hasn't been stopped yet there's still one more thing these characters need to do. The story isn't over. Only Epsilon's is.
