Decider provides an ending explanation for Season 4 of the Prime Video series "Reacher," focusing on plot developments and character interactions. The season begins with Jack Reacher encountering a woman, Anna Merrick, who commits suicide in front of him after he tries to help her on a Philadelphia subway. This event sets off a chain reaction involving corrupt government officials, CIA agents, and other nefarious characters all pursuing a flash drive that contains incriminating photos of Congressman John Sampson from his time as an Army officer. Reacher teams up with local police detective Tamara Green, Anna's brother Jacob Merrick, and conspiracy theorist Russell Plum to unravel the mystery behind Anna’s suicide and thwart the plot involving a deadly chemical weapon.
