Okay... hear me out
I like to see the final battle with Pearl against the Homewreckers as such: we all know that Impulse's final death message said something along the line of "died whilst trying to escape BDoubleO100", right? And that Pearl got the final hit on Bdubs, which ended the Homewrecker's series, right?
Imagine in the dark forest, Impulse feeling the aches and pains from Bdubs as he fights Pearl, as her dogs tear into both of them and her axe tears through the clocker like Butter. Impulse would be pretty scared and desperate, right? Desperate men do stupid things.
In the heat of battle, Impulse decides that he is going to try and flank Pearl while she's distracted with Bdubs. Meanwhile Bdubs has no idea where his soulmate went. He's so focused on staying alive and fighting off Pearl that he doesn't see Impulse rush at her from behind.
But Pearl does.
As Bdubs lashes out with his sword, attempting one last time to get the final hit on her, Pearl strafes to the side.
His sword still makes contact.
Impulse couldn't react fast enough.
When Bdubs' blade sank into his stomach, Impulse could only stare into the eyes of his partner, the man who had cost him life after life throughout all three seasons of this stupid game.
Pearl took one swing, and they were both dead. Impulse is seathing, but only on the inside. How poetic: betrayed again by the man who was supposed to be his soulmate.

Ouch, my heart
