The last episode of the prisoner is "not" a conventional television drama and if you approach it as such, its going to come across as pure Chaos. Its a drama of ideas and concepts rather than a conventional "ending" where everyone dies or goes home happy. Fall out is also to an extent open to the interpretation of the viewer. People see different things in it and in many cases what they are seeing is themselves and their own ideas about the issues/concepts dealt with in the show filtered though the show. The more you see the rest of the episodes, the more you are going to read into or see in fallout. The Prisoner as a series is a story on multiple levels.
