Lioness season 3: Joe McNamara finally found after mystery
In episode 7, the CIA finds Joe McNamara after six weeks of mystery.
In episode 7 of Lioness, the CIA finally finds Joe. For six weeks, the show shifted suspicion from Russia to Iran to Ukraine and back again.
A stark irony emerges: even American security agencies can't identify which enemy nation took her. Joe fought for American freedom abroad, but lost her freedom at home.
The episode marks a turn to a bigger question: does US foreign policy protect America's interests, or does it create the enemies it fights?
