Prime Video's Reacher season 3, episode 6, "Smoke on the Water," features more screen time for the wicked Quinn and a new kick-ass scene from Neagley.

There is one scene in this week's episode of Reacher Season 3 that is practically a backdoor pilot for the upcoming Neagley spinoff series.

This week’s episode, “Smoke On The Water,” sees Reacher struggle to keep his word (not to Neagley) with this description: “At the Bizarre Bazar, Reacher finally comes face-to-face with Xavier Quinn, but he’s torn between the desire to kill him and the promise he made to Duffy. In Chicago, Neagley gets unexpected visitors.”

As the third season of Prime Video’s ‘Reacher’ inches towards its finale, the eponymous hero and his friends find themselves in a string of trouble. Just when it seems that things might finally be working in his favor,

In many ways, Episode 6 of Reacher Season 3 is a payoff to the excellent fourth episode. That was where you really felt the menace of Xavier Quinn, the season’s Big Bad who has largely been developed through absence and implication.
