This entire show required a reasonable degree of suspension of disbelief, however this episode in particular took that to a whole new level.
First of all, as a whole the show is OK. It has reasonable action, some suspense, and the leads of the show are played well.
But in terms of this episode, where to start?
1: At the very beginning of the episode they finally captured Reacher, whom they have spent the whole season trying to kill, only to let him go in search of a wild goosechase of tracking down Hubble.
2: On the note of Hubble, Reacher somehow manages to pinpoint the exact model he is staying in, across the entire state, based on logical conclusions he deduced based on understanding his character, despite only briefly meeting him.
3: Picard is shot, miles away from Margrave and left for dead lying in a ditch. Yet somehow he manages to make it back to the factory for the conclusion, and additionally has somehow recovered enough to be able to get involved in a melee fight.
4: On the note of Picard, they send him off with Reacher, with the expectation that he checks in a single time, some 24 hours later to ensure that Reacher is following commands. Surely, knowing the ability of Reacher, they would want him to check on a far more regular basis?
5: Four people storm the factory where dozens of armed henchmen are expecting them, additionally with one of those four having never fired a gun. Yet somehow they kill every single one, without a single casualty on their end.
6: What is up with the speech that. KJ is delivering during the final showdown? Not only did the actual topic have nothing to do with the show, he was consistently giving his position away to Reacher, whom was armed at the time.
7: The CGI Tear. Actually, additionally in regards to the ending, there was virtually no fallout, despite dozens of dead bodies. Including a cop in a police station, and the Mayor of the city.
This epside is an example of how sometimes the narritive in a book doesn't work well as a show. When reading a book your mind can filll the gaps or help you overlook certain aspects, yet when it is portrayed on the screen it becomes painfully obvious how silly it is.
