Special Ops: Lioness Episode 7 Ending Explained
Cruz turns the transmitter off for a few moments during her conversation with Aaliyah. Thus, she gets questioned for it by Joe at the base.

Special Ops: Lioness Episode 7 Review
Special Ops: Lioness Episode 7 had many conversations that might go on for eternity. Every episode in this series could be the sequel to the previous one, but every episode came with a new story.
Cruz and Aaliyah’s chemistry was a surprise. It added some spice to the series, but it was not enough. Aaliyah’s wedding could have been more grand and a center of attraction, but the involvement of the CIA officers and their mission made it bitter. The special ops are unconvincing and derivative, according to some viewers.
The creator of the series, Taylor Sheridan, presented a better storyline, but the actors could have done better to justify it. It looks like he prioritized the choices made by the other production team members.
Cruz is a lioness and a trained hand-to-hand combatant, which she forgot after falling for Aaliyah. Thus, Joe made her watch an eight-hour-long video to realize how cruel Aaliyah’s father is and how critical their mission is.
The key characters bid a final goodbye to their loved ones in the seventh episode. Let us see whether Cruz remembers her responsibilities, and we watch an emotional or happy ending in the eighth episode.
