As expected, 'The Old Man' ended as one humdinger of a finale. Episode 7 finally reveals the actual reason behind Faraz Hamzad hunting Dan Chase (Jeff Bridges). It wasn't revenge for taking his wife Belour (Leem Lubany), but for also taking away his daughter. Emily/Angela (Alia Shawkat) was indeed his daughter as speculated by most fans, and that theory came to be true.

Episode 6 saw Chase losing his edge and getting some much-needed support in the end from frenemy Harold Harper (John Lithgow). The former agent's mission to get close to Faraz Hamzad leads him to reunite with Harper and save his daughter Emily/Angela. The latest chapter finally sees Hamzad reunite with his daughter despite Harper and Chase's attempts to rescue her. It also ends with the death of EJ Bonilla's Waters – the only casualty in the FX spy thriller so far.

"Ooof. I saw that reveal coming but seeing it on Alia Shawkat's face was And poor Harper, man. How Dan kept all that straight, too. So. Much. To. Parse. Thank goodness we know we're getting a second season. More now, please and thank you. #TheOldManFX," one of the fans wrote. This was seconded by another who wrote, "Talk about a cliffhanger! #TheOldManFX" Another remarked: "Man that’s an ending I didn't see coming. I see why Hamzad is trying to smoke these fools! #TheOldManFX".

"#TheOldManFX What a cliffhanger ending. Now we have to wait for next season to see Emily's reaction to the news," one of the tweets read. "No happy endings. Going back empty-handed. Here's to Season 2 getting here quickly. #TheOldManFX," a comment said. "I had that sneaking suspicion, that Dan took more than just Hamzad's wife. #TheOldManFX," a fan added. Even actor Gbenga Akinnagbe felt he would have hunted down whoever took his child. "Real talk. I kinda feel for faraz hamzad. If they took MY daughter, I'd destroy heaven and earth to get her back. Even if it took two life times. #TheOldManFX".
