Lioness Season 2 Episode 8 Recap And Ending Explained

[@DavidMillikan]

I need more what a great show. The acting is brilliant.

[@mariamwaqar-rc4ne]

Cruz was out here cheesing seeing Josie walk up to the bird. And you can tell how emotional she was seeing Josie at the end. Such small scenes but definitely gave a lot to hope for.

[@royalsinside5031]

Honestly it just pisses me off even more the fact that we only get 8 episodes with that type of finale.

[@jesseurizar7146]

There is another episode

[@complexgrafix]

Yea bs

[@richardmiller3146]

I don't think so. Everything I read says Ep.8 was the season finale (even though it certainly didn't feel like one).

[@jesseurizar7146]

@@richardmiller3146 dang you’re right. Now I’m mad. I was expecting more to come. What a letdown

[@richardmiller3146]

@jesseurizar7146 Great individual episodes but a finale that felt like any other episode. The most disappointing thing was that this season's Lioness recruit was completely inconsequential. Never any drama or threat of danger, having her infiltrate the enemy target. They could have used any helicopter pilot for what she did, which never even needed to be highlighted as part of the story. What was presented early on as the mission became just a secondary storyline.

[@oshea03]

Felt like an unfinished season.

[@jesseurizar7146]

The season ain’t over.

[@Paul-vf2wl]

@@jesseurizar7146 It is.

[@complexgrafix]

​@jesseurizar7146 ? Season 1 was 8 episodes. Season 3 next

[@lilycollins-z9i]

My favourite moment is when the two guy sniper team just gut punched an Abraham tank with a Gustav and casually dropped a frag into the hatch with same level of energy and enthusiasm as my dad throwing a small garbage bag into a dumpster.

[@gdm415]

Just a walk in the park basically 🙄😏

[@gdm415]

Just another mission wear nobody dies taking on a small army. 😏

[@GarnetBurke]

“Yeap”

[@SteveButsch]

@@gdm415 well that was the plan, right? LOL. Stress being plan and communication. They trained with operators. Find high ground with cover and call in birds.

[@highoffnaye6625]

This season finale was poorly written.1- Ain’t no way a supposedly great pilot like Josie was supposed to go down that easy. 2- the way things played out with Josie’s father also didn’t make any sense.

[@highoffnaye6625]

The build up to the episode was amazing but they just ended up crash landing

[@ToddToTheBlack]

It was a lucky sczot', all it took was one survivor to aim and sch00t', probably as they were taking their last breath

[@bruna8663]

This 🎯🎯🎯

[@SteveButsch]

Unlucky shot to the tail rotor and the best will go down. She handled it like a pro and didn’t blow up the bird.

[@SteveButsch]

This was a mission for an A10.

[@mythictyrant3]

Josie screaming was unnecessary while everyone is fighting to save her. And a helicopter being downed by a tank is kinda unbelievable. Wish it was 10 episodes to expand the plot a bit. Felt a bit rushed. Otherwise, love the Lioness! Can't wait for Season 3. Season 1 definitely set a high standard.

[@352ferb5]

Yes she should’ve pop flares but her screaming that do happen in a firefight she’s in shock and her body in flight mode not fight bc she’s not a foot soldier she’s a pilot.

[@complexgrafix]

Yea the entire episode sucked. The fight was not real and dragged out. Editing sucked

[@jesseurizar7146]

@@mythictyrant3 dude is writing/acting in 20 shows at once. Quality will suffer….

[@waqarcpm4321]

Kinda weird that Josie, the ace pilot, couldn’t take out a 4 vehicle convoy in two passes with a Blackhawk but the pilot in that little bird took out an entire outpost’s worth of armor and personnel. Should’ve just sent that guy instead of Josie to bring with.

[@SHIVAMSingh-rm1hj]

Lol true.

[@Youngairmoney]

I agree

[@karlcarlysle462]

It's in the script lol

[@SteveButsch]

Women are good pilots. They handle g-forces better than men. She should have been in an Apache. Blackhawk is a big target. It was a lucky shot akin to downing a pheasant with a rifle.

[@SteveButsch]

@@waqarcpm4321 should have been in an Apache or better yet, 2 A10s running figure 8’s

[@MrfiX725]

Sheridan is a stickler for getting the military/tactical stuff right in his projects so I was shocked to see that in the scene where Sheridan himself is a sniper and there's is no lag time between his shot and hitting a target "922 meters" away. I mean that's a post-production mistake that could've been fixed with a simple viewing by the showrunner or one the EPs. I wonder why they let that glaring mistake slide.

[@jeromedamian5740]

Yeah, I'm really hoping they're gonna extend this show.Because it's one of the best out there. It's not often you see something that has so much creativity and Intelligence. Just absolutely love this show. All the characters, the story lines.It's really nice to see something.That's realistic .

[@burqawaliaunty7664]

So that 8 person team just took out nearly 100 Iranians, multiple armored elements, and a T-72 tank (haha) without even a single casualty?!? Not a single person?? Really a huge departure from the grounded action the show was trying to maintain up to this point. It would've been slightly less ridiculous if Captain America just showed up and killed those 100 faceless mooks by throwing his Vibranium shield at them.

[@neofio3240]

Yup... Fucking tv drama... Lol

[@nilesstark]

They didn't take them down. They survived courtesy of Plot Armor

[@pierreaston7709]

They had multiple casualties. They just didnt have any fatalities.

[@June25th87]

It's not a T72, it's a M1 Abram tank.

[@nilesstark]

@@June25th87 An M1 Tank? I remember taking one out in 2005 in Alaska.

[@precioustendo5167]

Season 2 has ended before it began. The lioness role was what exactly ? We sure have been robbed. S3 has to be better and stick to planting the lioness role script . Josephine was not needed , Cruz could have played the mafia guys girlfriend easily! She has model looks and speaks Spanish!

[@bruna8663]

This 🎯🎯🎯 Josephine was honestly not needed

[@anthonymontoya6714]

Awesome episode

[@medfeedsnews2070]

Byron. He knows everybody in the security business. Kaitlyn. She never even got out of the vehicle at the cartel's gate. Cool as a cucumber. Joe. She survived even when it looked like all was lost and she was out of ammo. She made it home and Neal is waiting for her. Hopefully this will be her last field op. She'll go out on a win. Cruz. She's got a crush on Josie. I think she'll take Joe's job. I had no idea Pablo Carrillo was going to take over the cartel. But it makes sense. He's guaranteed that his family will be safe as long as he tells the CIA when the Chinese or Iranians try anything on the border. That's how I understand the agreement. But now Josie is going to see her father as the head of the cartel working with the CIA's permission and under their protection. He's a really well connected leader in a large criminal organization. And does the CIA just let them bring in drugs and human trafficking with no consequence because of their agreement??? And did it seem the US would even pay the cartel??? Not a good deal for the US.

[@theeditors7206]

That whole mission felt poorly planned. I don’t fully understand the logistics, aside from the fact that they had to wait for the scientist to leave, but I feel they could have arranged to have people and equipment in place in the time it took to travel from the US to Iraq.

[@ronniemcbride4475]

Yeah it seems like a missile strike would have been more effective but not good for tv drama lol

[@juanestrada90]

I saw many films where americans are rescued in the last minute by the mighty air force 😂 And Taylor Sheridan taking the role of a bad ass sniper and not getting wonded, it was cringe lol

[@JamesWaqar-f1m]

I think the whole mole thing and Josie’s dad talking about showing them real power, made it seem like a power play was going to happen. Guess all talk. I think many of us were reading into things, honestly trying to get for a deeper storyline. I think ultimately made me a bit more disappointed in how things panned out but I know better for next season. Take it face value and enjoy the ride. lol no more theories for me 😂.

[@pierreaston7709]

Yeah Im just here for the firefights and ideas for kit. Now I know after i move I am definitely saving up for a SKEET-IR

[@mariamwaqar-sz6vr]

Welp, almost had a stroke waiting for their back up to fucking get there. Also, we gotta wait a fucking year or longer for Josie and Cruz to sit down and "not talk" 😪

[@Moshe.1972]

Omg I love this series so much the best since homeland it gets better by the episode how no body is talking about this series

[@bettsboo]

It would be interesting to see Taylor Sheridan star in one of his shows …

[@SteveButsch]

I can’t believe Cruz wasn’t originally written in this series. That would have been a mistake.

[@carensule4237]

😢she is so bad ass

[@SteveButsch]

The only thing hard for me is my age. I was taught chivalry, so it’s tough to watch someone’s daughter getting hurt. It’s a show but in real life I’d be running bullet blocker. No way to convince me otherwise

[@chiara6537]

Sólo estoy por los comentarios😜, esta segunda temporada no me atrapa, sin duda me quedo con la primera temporada 💯😉

[@MicahelWaqar]

I feel there needs to be one more episode to wrap things up. If not season 3 (if there is one) would be a good way to show the aftermath.

[@pierreaston7709]

saldana signed on for 3 seasons so hopefully we will get one more. yes theres some plot holes but i like the firefights!

[@Malik_Maverick]

Yeah. This show would be good with 10 episode seasons.

[@waqarmasood2016]

I thought this was the finale!!

[@patrickyk1900]

In the last fighting scene, the director portrayed the male fighters continued the gun battle while the female fighters became emotional. If it was life and death situation, shouldn't all of them continue to fight until the last bullets.

[@gohenghwa156]

Is there a Season 3,4 & 5?

[@vitaluna1568]

Errrrr, 10 man team took out an entire outpost. So believable.

[@ToddToTheBlack]

Not really, they were taken by surprise, they had snipers, and last but not least, f22's showed up, supported by a chopper. All they had to do is hold off long enough for the back up to arrive.

[@tryagainb9669]

You need to brush up on your history these things have happened plenty of times in Iraq and Afghanistan with far greater numbers

[@whostaddymason2916]

Joe chose to stay in the field.

[@June25th87]

Did they really deploy the F22 for CAS mission?

[@richardmiller3146]

Couple of thoughts: 1) 8 freaking episodes for the season? WTF!? 2) That DID NOT feel like a season finale. I was looking for Episode 9 on Sunday because 8 didn't feel like a finale. 3) This season did not have the focus on a mission that Season 1 had. This feels like it was all over the place. 4) Last season Cruz was recruited for a mission and that mission was the point of the entire season. It feels like this season's new Lioness wasn't even critical to the season. Still a fan of the show but this year was a letdown.

[@waqarmasood6252]

ust finished it. Lots of action but a lot of the plot points that needed to be addressed weren’t.

[@justwatcher5657]

Well the final airstrikes seemed to just keep hitting the empty vehicles over and over and not the infantry soldiers advancing on our team. The delta team had to come shoot them

[@pierreaston7709]

The little bird did strafe them a couple times.

[@johnmike-w2u]

From what I've seen, TS is a writer that likes to put everything there. IMHO there wasn't anything there to suggest that would to happen, although I did not comment, because I did want to respect people's hypothesis.

[@user-dx1uq2mw8x]

What's up with all of these AI reviews... these suck.

[@518blvd3]

Some people want more realistic action guess what, get up and go join the army. You can get excatly what your looking for, stop complaining about entertainment mostly made to give people a break from reality 🤦‍♂️

[@OmariObinna]

I’ll comeback please edit, there’s something I want to say about this episode, oh! I’m not sure.

[@waqarmassood]

We wanna know: who dies and who scissors 😂😂

[@GrancopaMiguelLemos]

Essa nova Lioness é muito fraca cara! Eu desejei tanto que a Aaliyah aparecesse tipo fodona dona da fortuna do pai com exército de mercenários para "salvar/sequestrar/vingar/AMAR" a Cruz kkkkk. Espero que a 3T seja mais interessante, mais complexa e mais instigante que essa... Só quero saber a data do encontro de Cruz e Aaliyah... Embora eu sempre acreditei que ela tinha uma vaga ideia de quem e por que a Cruz entrou na vida dela... Só não contava com a paixão!! A cena dela falando que não queria casar foi para mim o que deu coragem a Cruz de completar a missão. A Aaliyah sempre pareceu esconder algo "Só acho" simbora 3T. Essa segunda deixou a desejar gosto quando aguçam o meu cérebro. Não gosto de romance básico kkkkk E sim não estou torcendo para a Josie na verdade gostaria que ela tivesse morrido na queda do helicóptero já projetava a situação complexa quando o pai assassino dela descobrisse. Não que ele se importasse e que tomada de poder mais ridícula. Estavam meio com preguiça de finalizar a serie...

[@donHooligan]

first episode seems like total Knot-Sea propaganda, so far...Mexico, Russia, China...and Iran? are the "bad guys"? FFS.

[@Sandman66]

Ok this was stupid...terrible way to end a sesson...wasn't even and end of sesson...no closure on any front...common taylor..get your shit together
