PerThe Hollywood Reporter, a second season is already in the works.
Their conflict is played out by a small group of agents from each organization.
But are they actuallygood?
How do we know?
And if theyre loyal to concepts rather than nation-states, whos really in charge?
Superspies Mason and Nadia (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) enjoy a snappy banter-based relationship with their handler, Bernard.
From Nadias chitchat with Bernard, we learn that shes been away On hiatus?
On an extra-secret mission?
Unclear for now for about a year, and Bernard is glad to have her back.
Thats a compelling (if vague and easily put to nefarious purposes) concept.
How can a commitment to the truth be bad?
What if Manticore arent the (only) bad guys?
Dahlia dispatches her twin henchmen, Davik and Anders, to Miami to retrieve and decrypt the X-Case.
Convincing a skeptical Kyle I coach Little League!
Fine, hes in.
Knowing her memory wipe was imminent, she scribbles Valencia on her forearm, then blacks out.
Is that something that a person with no memories does?
Dahlias goons cannot believe their eyes Mason Kane is alive?!
Mission failures and looking incompetent are not acceptable to the eight families of Manticore.
Kyle cant quite believe he pulled off that caper, and the X-Case opens upon recognizing his biometrics.
How will Mason foil Manticores big bad nuclear plot with no memories and no Bernard?
But wait a moment!
The cases agent-search function reveals that Nadia Sinh is alive, after all, in Valencia.
Nadia snags the baddies gun but leaves behind her memory-serum vial.
I remember everything seems true and would explain why she didnt inject her memory serum.
But why doesnt she need it, and why would she keep that information from Mason?
Did she regain her memories some years ago?
Was she somehow immune to the backstop memory-wipe process?
Did they betray Citadel under duress, due to a crisis of conscience, or for some other reason?
Will she break Bernard, or will she even need to?
She described herself as a broker to Manticores eight founding families, but who specifically does Dahlia answer to?
How will Mason and Nadias next moves unfold if she has her memories and he doesnt?
I love the visual telegraphing of her boldness and, perhaps, some Disney villainess qualities.
