To quote "Reacher" newcomer Sonya Cassidy, we love it when a show “winks at itself,” and that’s exactly what this series did in Season 3, Episode 3 when Alan Ritchson walked down the road in only his underwear toward the Susan Duffy actress. Her character’s reaction to the whole situation is what made this moment so funny and meta, and luckily, I got the inside scoop on what made this scene so wildly entertaining for both Cassidy and viewers.
So, here's the context of the scene, to get to Duffy and escape the house, "Reacher" had to go for a swim. So, he stripped down to his boxer briefs on the side of a cliff, dove into the water, and swam to where his partner for the season was waiting. Sonya Cassidy’s character, understandably, was floored by her colleague's physique, and right before the opening credits slammed down she said – with a dropped jaw – “Fuck me” when she saw him.
