What’s Up With the Ending?

It's been five months since the trial ended, but Steve still relives the last day of the trial. He just can't seem to keep the images from swirling in his head, but the questions that haunt him are even worse. Who is Steve Harmon? Why did O'Brien turn away from him when they won? And the most haunting question of all: "What did she see?" (21.6).

Those last four words—bold, centered, large font—scream out at us. They echo in our minds, and they're supposed to. When Steve asks himself the question, we can't help but wonder—what do we see? Is Steve a monster? Is he an innocent teenager? What's our verdict?

Who is Steve Harmon, really?
