The mystery of what happened to Richie Fife after his botched abduction as a child was finally revealed on Home Before Dark Season 2 Episode 10.
Although it was satisfying on some level to ultimately get the full story about why Richie was kidnapped and never returned to Erie Harbor, how it all connected to Strata Tech left me cold.
The latest mystery lacked the twists, turns, and emotional connection of Richie Fife's original disappearance and Sam Gillis being accused of his murder.
Overall, this season finale ran short of the drama and anticipation of Home Before Dark Season 1, but that didn't make it unenjoyable. Instead, it simply didn't live up to the high standards of its predecessor.
When Matt and Hilde found Richie alive and well and living in Vancouver, it should have been more of a shock. Perhaps the concept of Richie was more alluring than the actual character because we never really knew him.
