The Blindspot series finale is wrapping up the story that began with Jane Doe (Jaimie Alexander) waking up covered in mysterious tattoos. The final season of Blindspot has been full of even more twists, turns and thrills, but there are a few remaining threads to tie off in the series finale.

The team is also trying to save Jane, was seemingly exposed to  ZIP last week. But they may not even have jobs anymore, since the interim FBI director dismisses them from their roles.

In an exclusive preview clip on TV Line, the director informs the team, "You’ve all been through a lot, but so has the bureau. This office has had its fill of tumult and aspersions. We need a reset — a new director, a new beginning.” But really, as Rich Dotcom (Ennis Esmer) snarks, "Which, for us, means an ending."

While Blindspot fans may have been surprised that Madeline was defeated in the penultimate episode, show creator Martin Gero explained to Entertainment Weekly, "We wanted to give the maximum amount of space to focus on the team and our characters that had been there for five years."

Gero hopes that fans are happy with the ending. "I'm dying to see what people think of this last episode," he said. "We do something really incredible that that took a year to pull off, to be honest, and I'm just so thrilled that we that we did it."
