The second season of "The Flight Attendant" has come in for a landing, and while the experience of riding out these eight episodes felt a bit bumpy, the snacks were great and the view from the window seat was nice and clear. So clear, in fact, that I could see the outcome of the finale upon initial take off. But, despite the predictability of the murder mystery plot line, and the unnecessary goofiness of Cassie's other selves popping up like little blond devils on her shoulders, the heart of this season that dealt with a woman's struggle with sobriety and her difficulty with loving herself enough to not self-sabotage everything healthy in her life was impactful.
In last week's episode, after the person mirroring Cassie in an effort to frame her for multiple murders turned out to be Grace (Mae Martin), we were given some rather rushed exposition that tipped us off to the fact that Grace wasn't acting alone in this espionage. Shortly into the finale, as suspected, we come to find that Dot (Cheryl Hines), the CIA director overseeing Cassie (Kaley Cuoco) and her handler, Benjamin (Mo McRae), was the Big Bad all along. But, similar to most other attempted twists and turns in this "mystery," that revelation is more of a "yeah, we knew that," rather than the "holy s**t" that was probably intended.
