For all of Season 2 so far, Jack Reacher hasn’t quite been the character fans saw in the previous outing of the Prime Video series. He’s still a mountain of a man drifting through the world and using his immensity, among other skills, to right wrongs. The deaths of his former US Army Criminal Investigation Division colleagues affected him more than his brother’s murder. He’s not his brother’s keeper, but he was their commanding officer. “The Man Goes Through” brings Reacher full circle and, finally, back to full strength. He’ll need it.Despite his duty of care to his fallen friends, what really unsettles Reacher is working with the surviving members of the 110th Special Investigators Unit again. In the two years since Reacher Season 1, it’s safe to assume he’s had some off-screen adventures after avenging his brother’s death in Margrave. This means he’s used to being the smartest and most skilled operator in the room. Working with Frances Neagley, David O’Donnell, and perhaps most of all, Karla Dixon has humbled him. He’s no longer their commanding officer, and without the rank on his chest, the dynamic is different.Before this, though, Reacher gives a speech about the consequences they will face, from losing rank to being assigned to mundane, or even worse, dangerous duty assignments. He wants to stop the spread of heroin on base and in the surrounding economy, but it’s more than that. “And we’ll be making sure the criminals hiding behind the name of the US Army can’t do so with impunity,” he said. No other single line so clearly defines who Reacher is, or at least was, when he was a soldier. He’s not necessarily “by-the-book,” but he’s willing to risk his and his unit’s lives to stop some of the “domestic” enemies his oath of enlistment talked about. Along with being the classic action-movie combat Reacher is known for, this extended digression serves two purposes.
