Special Ops: Lioness Season 1 Episode 6 Recap
We are in East Hampton, Long Island, where Cruz is driving to where Aaliyah is, with Aaliyah calling, urging her to hurry up as she has a surprise for her. Joe’s team watching over the house says it looks as if she will have a spa day with her as they’ve seen a masseuse arrive with tables. Joe breaks down the importance of every word she says to her because she will remember every tiny detail.
Does Cruz accept Aaliyah’s offer to be her friend?
In the steam room, Aaliyah begins to break down Cruz, bringing up the “car accident” she was in, in which Cruz owns up to being beaten by a man. She asks Cruz to name five great friends, but she can’t and asks to name one good friend, and Cruz says Aaliyah’s name. Aaliyah proposes that they become friends, but she must never lie to her ever again.
Joe and Kaitlyn are summoned to the White House to be debriefed about what happened in San Antonio. Edwin Mullins asks Kyle to explain his version of the story, and he does, followed by Mullins asking Joe’s version. Byron steps up to the plate, saying they have no proof of the accusations that the CIA had any involvement in what happened, and they should be happy as they potentially stopped another terrorist attack.
Who takes over Operation Yellowjacket?
As the debrief continued, Joe explained their mission with Cruz and how she planned on taking down the new target. However, the White House inform Joe, Kaitlyn, and Bryon that they are taking over the Operation directly due to their actions in San Antonio.
