Following the harrowing experience of terror in Coronado in which both Pillar and Howard died in the "vest" explosion, this concluding episode focuses on the large lake home of Secretary Lorraine Hartley. It is there that a reckoning will occur between the Secretary and Commander James Sullivan Reece.
With assistance from Ben, Reece is able to penetrate the compound and confront Secretary Hartley. One of the best scenes in the series is the long conversation of Katie Buranek with the Secretary, leading up to Reece's home invasion. The quick-thinking Katie is able recreate the chronology that does not fully exonerate the secretary from the Odin's Sword fiasco.
After confronting Hartley, Reece leaves the scene without killing her. She has taken her own life out of a sense of guilt and disgrace. There now remains only one item on Reece's list, which is Oberon Analytics. Someone at Oberon was a player and decision-maker in the Odin's Sword ordeal and the deaths of Lauren and Lucy. Thanks to Katie, Reece learns that the trail leads to Mancora, Peru, where Ben has fled.
The series' ending moments allowed both a sense of closure to the eight episodes, yet kept the door open for a second season on this thrilling and well-acted set of eight programs.
