The Episode Review
We finally have a resolution to this mystery, which felt like it was going to take forever. Andy reveals that he knows everything that we’ve seen through flashbacks and that his real father is actually Nick. However, this also reveals that there was no Jerry after all and Andy’s true father is actually someone else.
It seems like Queller is behind everything going on, but for now, the true extent of what’s happening is being hidden from us.
The show has been okay but one can’t help but feel that it could have been better if it had cut out a few episodes. Everything is falling into place now though, and I’m sure that the final outcome will be very satisfying. ..
