I didn’t take that from it. I just thought that they were showing that she knew where Navarro was even as she was telling those cops she didn’t.

I thought she was dead at that point.

They certainly implied that she walked off into the sea like her sister did. She basically told her there’s an afterlife for the native people and her son was there talking to Navarro

The last half of this season really got me thinking about how much garbage Hollywood will pump out these days. Streaming has gotten just as trashy as network tv. If it wasn’t for the rewatch of Elementary I’m doing now, I’m not sure I’d currently be watching anything good. Even the latest two episodes of Tokyo Vice have taken a dive.

I was super bummed out and by then realized the whole season was a joke.
