The season three finale of the spy thriller series 'Lioness' has revealed the identity of the individual behind the kidnapping of senior CIA officer Joe McNamara. Aaliyah Amrohi, a character from the first season, was shown to be responsible for ordering the kidnapping.
Aaliyah's motivation stems from events in season one, where operative Cruz befriended her to get close to and ultimately kill her father, terrorist financier Asmar Ali Amrohi. During this operation, Aaliyah's fiancé, Ehsan, was also inadvertently killed. The finale suggests Aaliyah is seeking revenge against both Joe and Cruz for these deaths.
In addition to the kidnapping revelation, the episode concluded with Joe discovering a "For Sale" sign on her lawn and a note from her husband, Neal, indicating her family has decided to leave. The bedrooms in her home were found emptied.
