Archer Season 12 Finale Pays Loving Tribute To Jessica Walter
Archer's Season 12 finale paid tribute to Jessica Walter after the actress's death earlier this year. Her time as Malory Archer was beloved by fans as the long-running sitcom completed another season of espionage hijinks. Also notable was her role as Lucille Bluth in Arrested Development. Before her passing, she finished recording for Archer Season 12. It wouldn't be a finale of this show if there weren't some heartfelt sentiment smashed between the one-liners and explosions. Malory comes to her son's rescue at the tail end of the final episode. She leaves Sterling a note and it's a pensive exchange that will leave a smile on longtime viewers' faces. If that bit of emotion wasn't enough, the crew packed in a small cameo as well from Ron Cadillac, who people enjoyed in the earlier seasons. (Ron Leibman, who plays the man stuck in Malory's orbit, was actually Walter's husband in real life too! He passed away in 2019.)
