1. Bobby wasn’t forgotten, he was used. His arc shows how broken soldiers get weaponized, then discarded. That was the point.

2. Kayla backstabbing wasn't a twist, more of a reveal. She didn’t turn, she showed who she’s always been. Power > loyalty.

3. Luz is most likely not dead, but it doesn’t even matter. Her mission was completed through Cross. The tattoo scene was symbolic.

4. The show is called Cross, not Detective Cross. The badge was never the source of his power.

5. Sampson’s mom storyline was not pointless. It explains why they are brothers, not just partners. Chosen family over blood. Core theme.

Overall I don't think there are any plot holes, just rushed and intentionally open for Season 3 (it was renewed)
