What We Learned/Questions Raised
-Obviously we are now setting up for the 1st episode of the season. Something is going to happen on that boat next episode and we will finally see who the dead bodies are. (My bet is on Nate - since Jack isn't wearing a white shirt and Amanda).
-Aiden and Emily are back together and they are going to be working together to bring down the Initiative.
-Nolan is going to forgive Padma one day. I think he's understanding of her situation. While he make keep her at arm's length, he will try and help her.
-No doubt that Victoria just started an avalanche of problems for the Graysons. Helen will be replaced but not by killing her, they are going to be targets of the Initiative.
