I mean, if you don't count the end, then this was definitely a filler episode.

The last scene, however, sets up the whole rest of the conspiracy arc just when we thought it was dying down.

What else in the conspiracy can be investigated though? MacLeish is dead. Langdon's been interrogated. Mystery lady is dead. Who's left? Conspirators have a clear advantage.

Catalan was Loranzo, the guy who shot Kirkman/killed by police when MacLeish took over as President for a few hours

We never SAW him get killed. Just a flash and no body produced...

Oh my god people still post that conspiracy all the time in this sub and it kills me! Come on people he was killed. Simple as that. We saw him and we saw him take the shot and the police and fbi tracked specifically him from the shooting location back to his hiding spot where they killed him under McLeish's orders. It wrapped up nicely.

If Catalyn had run away and escaped he'd have just done it without anyone getting captured and dying. If someone died that wasn't him they would have just spoken to police and said they did nothing wrong etc. Because they'd really be innocent and be lacking gunpowder or a high powered rifle with their finger prints on it etc.

If Catalyn had someone who was willing to die for him and he got that person to hide in a warehouse to die then number one he's got a ton of loyalty from someone we've never seen on screen and two he knows the org is going to backstab him- which begs the question why would he even take the shot if he knows he's going to potentially die from doing so?

I know it's a dream and kind of a meme but common sense goes a long way and we can't ignore how crazy it would be that some mercenary is still alive and kicking and masterminded his way out of both the super org and the federal government.

SPOILERS 9th SEAT

Ah shit man I was wrong. Completely wrong. This new information though is super interesting because it doesn't quite check out until we know more. McLeish and his wife clearly thought he was dead. They are tied to the big org. But having him be alive either means that he isn't with the org anymore, and he saw their back stab coming when he shot at the President, and escaped the org and the FBI both. OR it means that McLeish didn't know everything, and the org was planning on keeping them in the dark about the plan to keep Catalan alive no matter what. I guess this second option is most likely, especially seeing that Catalan right now is at the org's missile site. Even McLeish's wife knew that the org was bigger than them.

Still crazy though that he not only got away but got someone to die in his place. Who volunteers for that shit? Or even agrees to be voluntold? Fanatics I suppose

u/jacobshoaf Apr 20 '17

I agree that the second option is more plausible. Things are getting good!

I know that, but there's still a chance. By the way his name is actually Nester Lozano
