Strand has decided to do things his way for the upcoming season. After surviving a nuclear bomb, he feels invincible and that his way of living is the only way to go. He’s tried doing things the way others think he should, but in the end, his selfish ways trump taking the high road.
He and Morgan Jones have drawn lines in the sand, and it will be an exciting season as we see who prevails. In season six, Strand tried to kill Morgan in the submarine, and Morgan isn’t happy.
