Jean Tripplehorn's performance as Hartley was pretty convincing. I think her motive made sense as it's the classic "sacrifice for a greater benefit". Believed her for a second while she explained herself to Katie. Only episode I feel like she had some substance to work with. Though I don't understand how she thinks that a drug that could cause 100% tumor rate in patients will change the PTSD game. We will count it as her delusion rather than bad writing because we've seen plenty of that throughout the series. Ben being the last conspirator was a twist that I didn't expect but made sense. Thought it was Hartley's assistant guy but that guy was just dropped from the plot entirely. But we will count that as a Red Herring instead of bad writing because we've seen plenty of that.

The whole starling scene was so repetitive and it was like beating a dead horse when they finally revealed the entire thing. We also learn that it has little to no greater purpose other than just "Daddy loves you". Reece also just casually taking out the entire security team was nothing new, but at this point they've redefined realism. But outside of that, I think it was a decent finale.
