The series finale's Manor sequence continues with an aerial shot high above the manor showing the aftermath of the explosion. A daytime stock shot of the manor was once again used as the source plate.
The plate was processed day-for-night, and painted to add illuminated windows, street lights, and shadows. Neighboring vehicles and foliage were also added to maintain continuity with surrounding shots.
A small matte painting established the destroyed foundation, created from references taken by Mechnology's artists on-set.
CG debris, smoke, flame and shockwave elements from the previous explosion shot were re-generated. These were combined with raining flaming debris and even the flashing lights of car alarms to finish the shot.
