1. Steve drinks some shakes
2. Car goes boom
3. Steve doesn't actually know how to combat.
I have so many questions. The whole company sequences are pretty low-tension, meaningless bits that I can't love. Most of the side characters have no screen presence at all and they all feel so lifeless. The entire police force also have little to no life in them, basically not threatening at all. I mean, while Reece blew up the middle of SF, they just watched. Also, SWAT team was supposed to be on standby but nobody showed up. I like Reece's determination but this mission is basically a suicide mission even if you are a spec ops elite force. Steve was taken out with no effort which makes the audience think "what's next?" Killing off everyone who was involved? Makes sense on Reece's end but it really is pushing the boundary of realism.
I can't even remember how Katie reached the conclusion that the drug causes tumors. Sure. But how would that be motive for killing off an entire SEAL platoon to cover it up? It's so unlikely that this drug caused 100% tumors after passing preclinical trials. Even if that's true, there's so many easier and less riskier ways of covering this up other than killing the entire platoon, such as paying them out, signing an NDA..
Why hasn't there been another hit man on Reece ever since Gordo was out? If it was that important to kill the entire platoon, I would have spent more effort tying up the loose end than Steve tried.
Never explained why Mike has zero authority when it is his product? A single sentence would clear that up. No VC would exercise that much of control over a company like that.
One thing I liked was the conflict between Katie and Reece. It makes sense cause Reece wants to kill them all while Katie wants to publish it.
Overall, I think the show is deteriorating just as quickly as Reece is doing (getting sick of all the Lucy hallucinations! Perhaps that's why they named her Lucy). The show is losing its drive rather quickly and that is a sad thing to watch.
