@ TheBestWall Oh my god, YES! Briggs and his team must have already been going through hell after Locke (I mean they worked with a serial killer for YEARS) and then their new old addition was the daughter of one. You cannot tell me the whole FBI wasn't really suspicious of the whole Team for ages after the director. I mean they must have gone through evaluation after evaluation. And tbh the team would have probably been dissolved and the members integrated into other teams. Give me Briggs and Sterling really struggling to prove themselves with new people who won't accept them no matter what, the naturals dealing with a new team in charge who evaluate their right to exist all over again (but harsher than Sterling in TN 2), give me Briggs and Sterling fighting to get their kids back before their mental health gets dismantled completely but without losing their jobs.
(Also to Briggs becoming director right away: that man was around thirty. There is no way, and I love him but I'm talking NO WAY that he was the most qualified. The man worked with a serial killer, was probably in a relationship with her and went behind the FBIs back to consult CHILDREN on murder cases. I mean it's a closure for the story I guess, but I'm really sad that jlb doesn't really follow up with consequences to the stuff that happenes in her books (like whatever happens to Briggs full but LONG recovery after All In? And the next book he's just fine?? Eh))
