Reacher Season 3 Episode 6: Did Reacher just blow his cover? Here's all about it

Reacher Season 3 has been pretty exciting so far. With the release of Episode 6, we are getting closer to the end of the season. And for Reacher, things are getting a wee bit difficult. Well, "wee bit" is actually an understatement, considering how he just blew his cover and is now on the run.

Julius McCabe has clearly established the fact that he is not someone you mess with. But we already knew that. However, there are bigger fishes who control everything, as we got to know in Episode 6 of Reacher Season 3.

What took us by surprise was Reacher getting his cover blown by leaving a trace of his search on Quinn’s men. And now we just have to wait and see what he is going to do next. But for those who do not know yet, here's how our big guy got his cover blown.

Reacher Season 3 Episode 6: Everyone is in trouble

Reacher Season 3 Episode 6 started with Reacher and Quinn finally coming face to face. And thankfully, Quinn really did have amnesia. He doesn't recognize Reacher.

On the other hand, Beck is scrutinized by Quinn for hiring a spy, i.e., the French maid, who is no longer alive. Thanks to Paulie and his psychopathic instincts.

Quinn is on thin ice, too, as his delayed payment to the Russians might just cost him his life. So, to make sure there are no more mess-ups, he asks his men to run a check on whoever has looked into his organization. Unfortunately, when he tells this to his men, Reacher has already left with Beck.

With Reacher completely unaware of Quinn's plans, things become dangerous for Warrant Officer Powell and Neagley. Before he even knows, Officer Powell is beaten up for information. But to no avail. He doesn't give them anything.

Quinn then instructs his men to "gut him from tongue to taint." The men don't want it messy, so they suggest a bullet. But Quinn, as expected, likes to have some fun.

Back in Chicago, Illinois, Neagley expertly handles Quinn's men while eating a bowl of cereal. She then phones Reacher to inform him about the ongoings.

How did Reacher blow his cover?

After returning from Quinn's, Reacher tells Richard that his father's birthday is approaching, so they need to get the toy gun fixed. So they head into town. This is just Reacher finding a way to get to Duffy to return her badge.

When they meet, Duffy thanks Reacher for controlling his desire to shoot Quinn, as it might risk Teresa's life. Just then, Villanueva appears, and Richard's impeccable timing leads him to discover Reacher's truth. He immediately recognizes Villanueva as the cop who Reacher shot at during his kidnapping.

Reacher comes clean to Richard and explains why he is working undercover. He also tells him he is the only one who can actually keep them safe from Quinn. However, it's not Richard who blows Reacher's cover.

A frustrated and angry Quinn, along with Paulie, rush into Beck's house a while after Reacher and Richard return from the town. Quinn asks Beck angrily who in the military unit of 110th Special Investigators did he "piss off." Beck's mind immediately goes to Reacher because he was in that unit.

Quinn instructs Paulie to shoot Reacher, but our drifter has already escaped.

With Reacher being on the run and Quinn looking for him, things are going to get even more intense and exciting in the upcoming episodes. But one thing is for sure: Reacher is not going to stop or hideaway. As we see in Episode 6, he has already started looking for Teresa with Duffy despite Quinn searching for him.

Oh, and the episode leaves us on another cliffhanger. Reacher's final dialogue in the episode is:

"We have a man inside. Just doesn't know it yet. Pack your sunscreen, Duffy. We're going to Los Angeles."
