To be honest I thought it was a bit of an anticlimax. After all the paranoia I was really hoping for something a bit more dramatic. But maybe that's the problem, there was too much build up to it.
I hope she has slayed this particular demon. I want a heroine who is more self-assured and not looking around every corner for Stuckey. I thought it was kind of odd that the FBI would leave Maggie in the bedroom by herself knowing Stuckey was probably going to strike. I wonder how many agents were on the grounds/in the house. I would have stashed an agent under the bed and in the bedroom closet just to be safe.

I'm not sure I got the significance of her not shooting him between the eyes. Kernan said that the split second decision defines who you are. So not going for that kill shot meant she hadn't crossed the line?

So not Hong for that kill shot meant she hadn't crossed the line?"That's what I got out of it, Jonetta. She didn't shoot him when she had the chance...therefore she wasn't completely over the edge. I'm just not sure I agree. I think shooting him would save a lot of grief.

For some reason, I thought it was important that her boss deliver the kill shot. I think Maggie will have recovered from Stuckey without having her conscience eat away at her.
Mod
I was surprised that she didn't shoot him right away. What was she waiting for? Especially when he started moving toward her. Also, I was expecting Tully to walk in the room, not Cunningham.
