Superbly Crafted Finale
lavatch24 June 2019
Warning: Spoilers
In the concluding episode, the evidence points to two people as the possible accomplice of Olawade. Seven years of e-mails are being decrypted by the FBI techs. But the identity of Olawade's contact is not spelled out in the episode, leaving the door open for a third season.

On the one hand, Julianne is a suspect because of her power play at the FBI office: Crown is out, and she will take over the operation of the Boston bureau. On the other, Alice is finally tied to the murder of Olawade as his devoted assistant. But she has also been exploited by the diabolical Olawade, and she might not have known the purpose of the testing of young Flynn's blood.

The screenwriters clever set up the final confrontation by isolating Nick and Flynn in the forest on a camping trip. That sets the state for the final confrontation among Emily, Alice, and Julianne.

The final episode skillfully uses flashbacks to reveal the background of Alice as an idealistic young medical student. But she abused her position as a therapist to start a relationship with Nick and worm her way into his life for the purpose of Olawade's study. If she survives, she faces prison time.

This was a solid closing episode that leaves some questions unanswered, yet still provides closure on the Olawade research project. A great finale!

Is there any Gulag for inept writers?

Who have finished only Contrived Coincidence course on their study?
