Cruz tells Josie Carillo in this week's lynchpin scene, making the sunk-cost case for American global dominance in its waning days while unwittingly presenting herself as Joe's ticket out of the endless cold-war games.
Joe is driven by a cognitive-dissonant belief in her Sisyphean post - ever maintaining the upper hand to protect the scraps of the American dream that cradle her family inside America's borders.
When the Lioness crew arrives back at Fort Bliss, still whiplashed from the Sound of Freedom-coded child-trafficking scene they left behind, she snaps into gray-man action real quick.
There's an undeniable utility to Sheridan's show-don't-tell-rule-breaking dialogue in scenes like this, where the emotionally damaged parallels between two gray warriors of the deep state are clearly, if not semi-goofily, broadcast.
