Supposedly Lt. Marion died because his parachute didn't open. But the autopsy shows that he had already suffocated before hitting the water, suggesting negligence or perhaps even murder. He was supposed to have an oxygen supply with him.
However, the fault actually lies with Army General Behnke (Conor O'Farrell), who is still trying to cover up his own involvement with a drug cartel. Chegwidden has the [=SEALs=] try the mission again, this time with Rabb in Lt. Marion's place. Rabb successfully parachutes where Marion died and gets a seeming lemon of a drug running plane up and flying.
With the finding now proving the idea that Lt. Marion committed suicide was wrong, he can now be buried with full military honors, and Senator Marion receives a folded flag with a SEAL trident pin.
! This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
* General Behnke commits a form of {{Seppuku}} once he realizes that the dots are going to connect back to him. Behnke dies in a manner similar to how the senator's son died, but presumably the corrupt general won't be getting a military burial with honors.
* ShoutOut to Creator/JaneAusten: the [=SEALs=] quiz each other on famous quotations, including one from the British novelist. Specifically, the very first line of ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudice'': "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."
* Subtle (relative to prior episodes) ThemeMusicPowerUp when Senator Marion sees firsthand [=SEALs=] parachuting out of a helicopter. The theme music turns a bit somber for Lt. Marion's funeral.
