honestly season 8 being like 7 is what I would've liked. Maybe a pregnant Kate, the captain or senator story alone is what kept people wanting more not the big twist . I love how the fanfic season 9 was that would've been perfect for season 8 or maybe have had Kate's mother alive tie into Loksat with it being solved maybe half way through and Kate never walking out...i just think with all of that plus the plot for the last Nikki Heat book it would've been an interesting twist
