#caddis

Rebecca has shown herself to enjoy the work she did for Caddis and isn't the kind of person to leave loose ends.

The moment she chose David over Juno, that was it.

Rebecca has lived and experienced what happens when you dont clear up loose ends and leave people/threats alive by accident. Doing it intentionally? Never going to happen.

I have no doubt Rebecca loved Juno, the woman was her mentor and helped make her who she is.

Killing her would probably hurt on some level.

But she understands who Juno is enough to know that the moment she turned on her, scorched earth was their only option.

She's also vindictive enough that no matter how much she loved Juno, finding out the woman was responsible for her father being burned and abandoning her was essentially a death warrant.

There's no world where Rebecca would ever leave Juno alive. So the fact she begged David not to kill her? Its laughable.

Then there's the cliffhanger, and it was so unnecessary. I mean, seriously, they fridged David's wife

I get that all of this was supposed to be their way of setting it up for a new season, they want Juno as a reoccurring villain and continued friction between David and Rebecca as the distrust between father and daughter is a core part of the show.

However, there were other options that allowed them to stay true to Rebecca's character, tie up all the loose ends and set everything up for a whole new season/show that didn't involve fridging.

(Yes the murder of a female character for male trauma/character growth continues to annoy me)

Whilst watching, i came up with an idea that I speculated to my dad as everything went down, and whilst not perfect, i honestly think it would have been better than what they did:

After David finally kills the assassin during the daring rescue, have him go looking for his daughter and have him find Rebecca just in time to see her kill Juno.

Have her smile as she does it.

Satisfied in an objective finally being handled.

Have the smile turn into a grin when she sees him, her delight at him coming for her and proving he cared obvious.

Have him look down at the body of his once friend and someone he knows his daughter loved dearly

Let this be the crack that really starts to make him doubt he can save her from what Juno turned her into and have him ignore it. Have him choose not to care.

More importantly, let Rebecca notice.

Rebecca is trained and smart.

She can see that Juno wasnt wrong when she claimed David wanted to 'fix' her.

She can see that he's finally starting to realise he might not be able to save her from this path she's walked/ing

Yet, he doesn't take back the offer of family, the chance to be together.

David will never stop trying to save her/change her, but even if he can't. Even when he knows he can't, he still wants her in his life.

After this realisation have then head back to his wife and her family. When they arrive, have the father in law remind him of the favour owed for helping rescue Rebecca and have her take it on in David's stead

David will fight against it, but the father-in-law will much prefer this outcome, and Rebecca will eventually convince him to accept it as the best way forward.

Rebecca is much more suited to pay back the favour owed without being bogged down by morals or guilt and frankly she'll probably enjoy working with her step-grandfather and his smuggling ring far more than playing happy families with her father, Stepmother and half sister.

Meanwhile the stepfather has the chance to aquire a new asset for his empire, he can keep a volatile entity away from his daughter and he has the opportunity to try and manipulate Rebecca into seeing her sister as family through controlled meetings.

Rebecca will probably be more comfortable interacting with him given he seems more in line with Juno personality wise than David and its a good opportunity to build the necessary bonds and dynamic to keep Rebecca from turning on them all

She burned her entire life for her father, but she has no real ties to any of them. Not even her sister. This is a chance for him to careful change that to his advantage.

Having someone like Rebecca caring for and protecting your granddaughter, your family? It's something a lot of people would want.

David won't be happy but working under the father-in-law means that they can still work on their relationship and interact/ have devastating misunderstandings that are good tv without tearing the family apart.

We saw flashbacks of him calling Rebecca and her mother/his dead wife when she was little whilst on missions. Let's see her calling him and her sister whilst handling smugglers and pirates.

Give us a whole season of her getting embroiled in the father in laws smuggling empire.

Or whatever illicit things hes involved in. I kinda assumed smuggling from what I saw and what was implied but idk.

I just feel like this would be more fun.
