Reacher Already Solved Season 2’s Other Big Mystery
Marlo Burns vindicated Swan.
The question about Swan ’s true identity is a great overall whodunit forReacherseason 2 . It forced Jack to reevaluate what he knows about the true bond of the hundred-and-tenth Special Investigations Unit , which he personally put together .

At this point , it has laid out all of its narrative cards on the mesa , and the only matter that has yet to happen is the actual revenge game of Jack and his team . Considering the fact thatReacherseason 3 is already in production , it ’s secure to say that the good guys will prevail — not that there have been any dubiousness about that give how popular the Amazon Prime Video serial publication has been . Still , it ’s disappointing that there are no other meaning mystery story that postulate to be resolved in the forthcoming Reacher time of year 2 finish .
Even if there ’s a last - moment plot turn lay aside for theReacherseason 2 close , the deficiency of apparatus from precede episodes would likely result in it falling flat and unearned . For some reason , even if both season of the action - adventure serial publication have the same act of episodes , it feels like not much has happened during its sophomore yr equate to its predecessor . Until now , neither Jack nor anyone else in his team had even total face to face with AM , who ’s more menacing and capable compare to a more stereotypic malefic incorporated administrator like Langston .
