I will not invent finale plot. Packaging is the filing. Spoiler-light stays mandatory. On Reacher Neagley handoff, the public record already gives enough oxygen without inventing a secondary drama. Finite table space and finite binge hours are the antagonists under every IP announcement this fall. Table note 6 stays glued to the peg instead of floating into generic nerd-culture fog.
