“Red Light” is the season finale we have been waiting for.
It was amazing, a roller coaster of emotions that didn’t stop until the
end, and even then we were left with a cliffhanger. Let’s get into this.
The main focus on the episode was Reid, of course. This whole
half season was about him and bringing this story to a close. Who was after
him? Why were they after him? How is he going to get out of it? How was it all
going to end? All these questions had been answered except the last, as we
waited with anticipation to see what happened with his mother’s kidnapping. I
was right in my prediction they would not kill her off. The other thing about
Reid is we see his darker side as in anger he throws Cat up against the wall
and tries to choke her, and of course the big secret, that he enjoyed poisoning
his fellow prisoners.
And of course I can’t not talk about Cat Adams. I enjoyed
her character and her interactions with Reid. I loved how they played out Cat’s
game, bringing them into a mind palace of sorts, all swanky and completely the
opposite of where they were. I was surprised at how far she took her deception,
and was not surprised of the nature of the relationship between her and
Lindsey. I figured Lindsey would be the weak link to break the whole thing up,
and she was. She felt betrayed by her lover and gives herself up. A good thing,
too. She was quite the killer, and even the gas station fire seemed like
overkill.
I really enjoyed them bringing Derek back for part of an
episode, even if it was just for 10 minutes and that was all we were able to
see of him. I couldn’t remember the last time Emily and Derek had seen each
other, so that was sweet. And him and Garcia is something I’ve missed. I love
their relationship so much.
Oh man that cliffhanger. Of course they’re all going to be
okay, unless someone wants to change their contract, and then they will
mysteriously die during the break. Everyone is going to be fine. I was
expecting the house to blow up as soon as they got there. Having a trap on the
road was very unexpected but I liked it. It goes along with the idea of Scratch
being very tricky and unexpected. I wonder how long this story will take to be
resolved next season.
