You got the best!

The hottest special-ops band in the land: Lioness!

Hey, cool with me.

The last we saw of our ragtag CIA operatives, theyd successfully assassinated an Iranian-backed terrorist leader.

As for the big question: Whos the new lioness?

Well get acquainted with her in the second episode of our two-episode premiere night.

The cold open rips and rips hard.

A U.S. congresswoman is kidnapped by a cartel, and her family is murdered in their sleep.

Theyre back, folks.

Regardless, the threat of a geopolitical status quo knocking loose is established per the espionage genres wont.

And they want a lioness on the ground.

Joes unsurprisingly put out by the task of training a new lioness in weeks when months are required.

They can eliminate the Los Tigres cartel leader, but intelligence-gathering isnt part of their purview after that.

Cmon, girl even when were heisting some intel, we do it the cowboy way.

You should know that.

Kaitlyn chimes in: They can handle the job.

So the stage is set.

Some serious cowboy shit organized by, of course, fucking Kyle.

But, hey instead, we get the man, the myth, the legend infrontof the camera.

In for a penny, in for a pound and all that.

Justice is a different agency, she says.

My agency doesnt do courtrooms.

A Clint-fucking-Eastwood badass line if Ive ever heard one.

So have her most pressing feelings of disconnect and occasional trauma-induced disinterest in family life, it seems.
