Given the events that actually occurred in Afghanistan, Angela's possible role in the next season seems to be one that, given the popularity of the series, can be one that can unite viewers along the path of resolving the difficulties posed from an historical perspective, through an honest appraisal of where we are, toward a future of mutual understanding and existence as that so simply yet profoundly exhibited when Chase momentarily puts his hand on Harper's shoulder as they head toward the uncertain future.

I thought Episode seven was a cliffhanger. Angela showing up at her biological fathers door left many ?’s unanswered. Did Angela know who her real father was? How did her father greet her? Would Chase go after his daughter Angela? Would Chase return to Zoe?

They all die of COVID 20, unleashed by Farsad from the sand dunes of Afghanistan. He’s actually Chinese, not from the desert. Zoe’s bowlegged stature splits in 2. Splintering her fragile psyche as she has an affair with Farsad prior to dying of COVID 20. Tragic.

There was a scene early on that showed Abbey Chase in Afghanistan holding a baby, I assumed the baby was Faraz's child early on.
