Reacher

• Title: Reacher – Smoke on the Water
• IMDb: link

Things finally do go to shit for Reacher‘s (Alan Ritchson) undercover mission, although not as quickly as you might expect. The run-in with Xavier Quinn (Brian Tee) doesn’t immediately blow his cover. Nor does Richard (Johnny Berchtold) blow Reacher’s cover and discovering his kidnapping was staged and Reacher is working with the DEA. However, Quinn’s men investigating those who have been looking into his business lead to attacks on Powell (Owen Roth) and Neagley (Maria Sten) whose connection to Reacher will blow his cover. Neagley fares better than Powell.

• Title: Reacher – Dominique
• IMDb: link

“There are very few people you meet in life that do everything right. The way they think, attack problems, conduct themselves. How they keep things loose when a joke is needed or keep their powder dry when things get tight.”

While playing on recent events, the majority of “Dominique” focuses on an extended flashback which introduces the impressive Sergeant First Class Dominique Kohl (Mariah Robinson) who worked under Reacher before his Special Investigators phase. The pair’s first case involved a soldier (Johnathan Sousa) leaking military secrets under threat from a military intelligence officer targeting his family. That officer’s name was Xavier Quinn (Brian Tee).

While Neagley (Maria Sten) does some research on the people Reacher (Alan Ritchson) is working for, the third episode of Reacher‘s Third Season focuses mainly on Reacher covering up his own mess and maneuvering himself into a stronger position within Zachary Beck’s (Anthony Michael Hall) organization. This involves sneaking out for a moonlit swim and, with the help of Susan Duffy (Sonya Cassidy), hiding the body of Angel (Manuel Rodriguez-Saenz) and the two drivers who walk in on them. Then, using the disappearances of the three men to his advantage, Reacher manages to take out Duke (Donald Sales) paving the way for Reacher to become Beck’s new #1 guy.

• Title: Reacher – Persuader
• IMDb: link

Adapting a different novel for each season, every season of Reacher has been a bit different. That continues in the kick-off of the show’s Third Season where Reacher‘s (Alan Ritchson) good Samaritan schtick gets him in hot water. Saving a young man (Johnny Berchtold) from a kidnapping attempt, things go downhill quickly with our hero having few options and delivering the kid to his wealthy father (Anthony Michael Hall). The rest of the episode involves flashbacks to the days leading up to Reacher’s save, where we learn not everything we’ve seen is exactly as it seems, and Reacher agreeing to work for the wealthy rug importer (but that’s not the only thing he’s importing).
