Flint didn't hold on to Billy, but Billy admits he has no way of knowing whether Flint let him go, or Flint simply couldn't hold on.

I liked the finale precisely because it's the only way things could have ended up without being a giant killfest or absolutely preposterous. We've all known that Flint's war was hopeless and stupid, a giant temper tantrum held together by the rage of a man with plot on his side. It had to end because Treasure Island is not set in a world where a pirate republic controls the Caribbean. I much prefer the idea that a key person had a moment of clarity and found a way out to one aimed at maximum body count. Among other high notes, I liked Flint's speech to Silver about how he was going to regret this. It draws an arrow pointing right to Treasure Island without being stupidly obvious about it. Silver's confrontation with the cook was also a nice touch, reminding us and him of just how far he's come in a fairly short while.
