OMW my wee Scottish heart is sooooo happy - Striker finally gets his HEA!  I feel like I've been waiting forever for this.  I know I'm probably biased but he is my favourite on the team.

Striker met Edee 5 years ago when she and her bestie, and future Mrs Tut, were kidnapped.  They were rescued by the ream but not before they had gone through horrific experiments and assaults. 
 Edee may give off a take no prisoners vibe and launch innuendo at 1000 pacs but it hides her still very vulnerable core.  She got back into dating with Armand, both getting what they needed from the relationship but when Striker lands back in her life - she doesn't quite get why he's suddenly very possessive of her??

Poor Striker.  I always knew all the posturing, innuendo and quick wit was hiding a scarred heart and I was right!  Edee's experiences may be more known to the team but that doesn't diminish Striker's experiences.  The banter between these too is epically charged.  They have always had a will-they-won't-they vibe and now we get to see what happens when they finally make a decision! 
 I did feel a bit sorry for Striker, he's been playing "five-finger shuffle" while Edee was essentially in a relationship.  It would have been perfect if they both couldn't "ya know" with anyone else but I get why Edee needed that relationship with Armand to help heal. 

Plenty of twists and WTF Mandy moments lol.  Brilliant!  My only real gripe is the Scottish accent but given he's THAT old and moved around a lot I'll forgive some of the wonky soundings LOL
