Last attempt to borrow that really capped everything (3,9,5)
I believe the answer is:
the finishing touch
'borrow that really capped everything' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'last attempt to' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'last' could be 'finish' (synonyms) and 'finish' is present in the answer.
'to' is within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
