When all is said and done, with Edwards deciding on how he wants Haverford to pay for his betrayal and crimes, he's set to become a lone wolf, away from CIA missions and danger. However, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf season 1 finale ends with Ben Edwards choosing a different path than expected: the CIA Ground Branch.

Meanwhile, Haverford is set to pay for his crimes, but not before revealing a deeper conspiracy about his connection with Iran. Edwards also gets some unexpected savior when he needs it the most.

After dealing with Artem, Cyrus, and Haverford in The Terminal List: Dark Wolf season 1 finale, Ben Edwards decides to leave the CIA for good. He plans to sail around and already has the boat for it. He's also keen on the decision that when a former colleague, Dash, visits to recruit him for the CIA Ground Branch, Edwards quickly refuses.

However, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf season 1 finale ends with Edwards doing a lie detector test. He's being asked about his previous jobs, about whether he's a murderer or not, and more. The scene shows flashbacks of his previous missions, comrades, and family. At the finale's final moments, it's also revealed that the lie detector test is an interview for the Ground Branch.

It turns out that Edwards has changed his mind about becoming a lone wolf. He's returning to the CIA and working for the Ground Branch, and while the finale ends without confirming whether he's accepted or not, it's implied when he passes the test. Plus, he's a recruit, so there's a very high chance that Ground Branch has always wanted him to join them.

The first half of the season 1 finale is all about Ben Edwards bringing Haverford and his accomplices to justice. Two months have passed since he killed Yousef in The Terminal List: Dark Wolf season 1 episode 6, and Ben, with Tal's help, has set a trap for Haverford. He's putting himself as the bait, releasing his location, knowing that Haverford will send men after him.

It also means that Haverford, Cyrus, and Artem will be online, which means that Tal can do her thing, find their locations, and compile their messages. But while Edwards is an experienced operative, he's only one person against dozens of armed men. And when it looks like he has finally exerted all his effort and is about to be gunned down by one of the enemies, an unexpected savior appears.

Reece makes an appearance in The Terminal List: Dark Wolf season 1 finale. After reading Edwards' old letter and his last text message, Reece comes to Edwards' rescue. Alongside him are Edwards' old teammates, almost half of the Alpha Platoon, who are ready to die for him.

Haverford is the one who used the team to ensure that the bearings go to Iran. Meanwhile, Cyrus oversees the bearings transfer to Yousef, and Artem is the financier who made a deal with Danawi to get a meeting with Molnar. Landry kills Artem, slicing his throat while posing as a masseuse.

Meanwhile, Farooq kills Cyrus the way Eliza was killed in The Terminal List: Dark Wolf season 1 episode 5, by putting a bomb on top of his car. Meanwhile, Edwards doesn't kill Haverford, and he lets the police deal with him. Haverford wants Edwards to kill him, but he chooses not to, which means he's going to end up in prison, his legacy ruined.
